Thanks Gud and Laura. Now that I have more free time I'll try and stay caught up here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION, I have discovered a word for what I am: agender. I'm trying to figure out if I'm aromantic.

I was terrified of general anesthesia until I had it and now I LOVE it.

Thanks for checking in, Tommyrot. That sounds like a brutal stretch.
The good news is that your free time aligns pretty well with things opening up.

That is definitely Emmett's take. He will rhapsodize about all three times he's been put under (broken nose fixed, wisdom teeth, having his tongue-tie cut).

Just came across a variation on the "May the Fourth be with you" humor. New to me, anyway.
"Tomorrow will be the Revenge of the Fifth."
Maybe it should be, "Soon will come the Revenge of the Sixth!"
I dunno.

Woo, we got tommyrot AND Gudanov posting today! Hi!
ION, I have discovered a word for what I am: agender. I'm trying to figure out if I'm aromantic.
As Captain Raymond Holt said, "Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place." I'm aroace, which is not new, but I forget who knows or has been around if I get grumpy when sweeping truths about what makes us human don't include people like me. Or perhaps people like us! I hope you find the words that best describe you.

shrift, I totally agree. Thanks. I was surprised at how empowering it was to find that term that describes me.
I just talked to my old boss in Highland Park, IL. He says I can have one of his clients. It would only be about $1000 per month, but if I remain otherwise unemployed I can at least cover the gap in my work history.

It's so great how people have more opportunity to identify themselves in ways meaningful to them.

Tommyrot that sucks but yay government paying cobra and new AD!
Shrift I don’t think I knew that! Go you.
I just got off the phone with someone who needs to deal with a huge spreadsheet of issues. Which comes out quarterly and she ought to be familiar with. Turns out not only is she not familiar with it, she is the WORST in excel. Like, couldn’t even figure out how to scroll, half the time. Or filter. Or sort. I was trying to walk her through it and it was just awful. Yikes.
