Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My boss wanting to keep paper files is going to be the death of me.

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

So, for fun I thought I would compare what I can see of Amazon's sales over the last 11 hours compare to the same period yesterday. Down 10%, which is not much but interesting enough to keep watching.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Should I do a "Ladies Night at the Forge" blacksmithing class in April? Circle one: yes / no

Just kidding (about voting) — I am totally going to do a blacksmithing class!

Punishingly Intricate

Meh I have a cold and am depressed. If I had some rote tasks to work on I could do that but I can’t bear to sit at my computer and think today. So I slept until 11 and now I’m going to sit on my couch and read my book

t what about compared to last Friday? Wondering how many people are doing the boycott. Not that a 1 day boycott will do much (especially if we just go buy the stuff tomorrow) but whatever.

Blacksmithing class sounds cool!

I don't have hourly for last Friday, just a total for the day, so that's hard to say. I'll definitely look at that when I have more of today to compare!

Blacksmithing! Awesome! Ladies Night at the Forge is a great name for it, too

Cocooning and reading sounds like a good call, lisah

I keep getting fed ads for a book that is Pride and Prejudice but Lizzie is being forced to marry someone (Mr Collins? Don't think it said) and practically held prisoner by her family and Darcy has been off being a pirate for some reason but is coming to save her. Which, okay, if that's the story they wanted more power to them, but I do feel like starting with Persuasion would have made more sense

Always Anti-fascist!

For me here in AZ the novel thing about "Which State Sucks More?" is that we don't always win every time anymore. Although we are making small upgrades, such as Kris Mayes our feisty AG, I'm sad that that happened because so many other places ...degraded so much.

Random: Ha! I just typed "Thirded!" In a chat as if everyone would know what I meant. I mean, maybe... but it is funny to assume the rest of the word gets Phoenix-isms. Heh.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Note to self: large Vietnamese coffee at 2pm is not a good life choice anymore if you also plan to sleep.

See also: Pepsi after 4pm.

I’d say “rookie mistake” except that that is very much an elder mistake. Ask me how I know.

Why do I find the caffeine thing almost as infuriating as the saggy neck I can't tighten?

I am totally going to do a blacksmithing class!

So cool! I would SO join this Ladies Night if not for that whole ... geography thing.

Feel better, Lisah. Hope the book is just what your brain needs.

Just dropping in to mention I got a haircut, and found a salon/stylist that I really like!

Congrats, Theo! As someone who has had to do this within the last couple of years, I know this is no small thing!

what about compared to last Friday? Wondering how many people are doing the boycott. Not that a 1 day boycott will do much (especially if we just go buy the stuff tomorrow) but whatever.

I was cheered by how very many times I saw the boycott encouraged/reminded. It will be very interesting to see what (if any) impact there is.

Yeah, pretty grim, erika. It's a shame that instead of improving, the bar just keeps getting dragged down.
