Peeps, my diamond slippers are too tight! My brilliant plan was to go down to the whirlpool and enjoy the hot bubbly water with the outside temperature at 51°F, which almost never happens here. I did at least bring my warm clothes in a bag to change into in the pool-area bathrooms after the spa. Walked in up to my butt, and it was not happening. When I checked the heater gauges, which I should have done first, it was set to 104°, but the current temp was 90°. That will not work at all. Quickly changed and went back upstairs. So that was disappointing. My life is hard.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oof. Our senior leadership is enthusiastic about AI but that hasn’t affected me in a practical way, yet. I use Zoom’s AI summaries of meetings as the basis for my recaps, but that’s it. And I still take my handwritten notes. I’m sure eventually there will be more specific directives about it, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
with the owner tagging along
Is it just me, or does this kinda take the shine off?
msbelle, I hope your mom is feeling better.

Would definitely feel weird with the owner of my company…
