The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

TCBITW is engaged so there's that.

OMGWTFPOLARBEAR?! Please tell her congrats from a random internet person.

Yay promotion Gud, and awww how is she old enough to not need a parent’s permission or a judge to get married?!?!

I did look online and they do seem to be not too hard to replace but knowing me I’d screw it up and it would take three times as long. So, figure I’ll also have them look at the hose thing outside that leaks when I turn it on, while they’re here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

TCBITW is engaged so there's that.

Wow! Congratulations and best wishes, but I am still side-eye-ing the passage of time

We got new official/standard email .sigs at work. They are huge. I guess I will get used to that.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

A fair amount has happened of late. TCBITW is engaged so there's that. I've been moved to what they call the architecture team at work which is a promotion of sorts. And we got an Instant Pot. I'm not saying all these things are of equal importance.

AN INSTANT POT?!?!?!?!?!

Seriously though, congratulations on TCBITW's engagement and your promotion!

Congratulations! That's very exciting.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...email .sigs at work. They are huge....

Lots of advisory/disclaiming text, or big graphics?

Graphics, I guess. There's a block of information about me + corporate wedbite address and then our corporate logo and then our mission statement (or something similar) and then all our brands - the logo and brands are graphics, I think. It all stacks up to basically fill the mini-window gmail gives me to compose email in if I scroll down to the bottom.

When I could make my own I think I had 4 lines of text and that included my pronouns.

Wow, congratulations, Gud - on the promotion and the engagement! (Also, we love our Instant Pot)

Speaking of our IP, I need to go make something happen with it right about now...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats, Gud.

Yay for vaccinations!
