If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

A bunch of our vendor-facing retail tools are down right now, and BOY what a relief it is to be able to tell them that unlike in 2017, this is DEFINITELY not Amazon's fault.

Aimee posted on FB that she's been stranded for 7 hours at the start of her trip because of the outage.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I saw someone on Twitter claiming that Southwest isn't affected because they still use Windows 3.1, and I can't tell if that's a joke.

Thrive to spite them

Ugh. I bought several Hanes cooling t shirts. They had good reviews and recommendations and for awhile they did what they were supposed to. The fabric gets cold

But today it just was holding in the heat and I had to be in the back room longer than normal and so I got really hot. And sweaty. I thought I had cooled down ok I even changed shirts (there was a clean one in my car I've been meaning to take inside) and I started getting brain foggy. I did finally stop for lunch.

It's not the hottest day it's been but it's very humid. Lunch as been some chicken salad, celery sticks, yogurt, watermelon (maybe I might save it for a snack) and I got a electrolyte drink mix that I mixed with electrolyte water . I am feeling a little better.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

Asking for -ma for my mom's friend's grandson...it's a saga, apparently, and not mine to post anyway, but thought I'd ask for a good thought for Branden, anyway.

Our wings are not tired

I have so much work to do, and my motivation to be doing it is...not great.

I'm going on vacation in two hours and people keep wanting me to do my job, which just seems mean of them.

My computer started working again. I think my east coast colleagues had given up for the day (fair!) but I feel like I probably have to do some work this afternoon. Boooooo

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Much ~ma for Branden, erikaj.

I was supposed to be flying up to see my niece’s family, and that didn’t happen. They were able to get me on a flight for tomorrow, so that’s nice. As I was waiting in the support queue for ~4 hours this morning (on my phone, while slounging on my sofa) I was extremely grateful that I wasn’t working a Delta customer service desk today.

My flight is allegedly still happening today, which is an improvement on this time yesterday. If it doesn’t go, well, I can spend the rest of the long weekend at home with the cats, which isn’t bad, as worst case scenarios go. I still hope I can see my grandnibblings tho.
