I'm feeling exhausted. I'd like to stop being an essential person for a week or so. My department is down to three people, including myself. My boss is physically incapable of doing my job. The other guy has limited availability because he has kids. I'm tired.

Yes, also hoping for an easy recovery for them.

Family and tradition seem to be the keywords here. And part of that family tradition (among people I work with) appears to include a trip to Vegas to hit all the casinos. I just don't get it. Part of the (overall) problem here is that it hasn't really been that bad (in terms of case numbers) until ...

Who the frick is this 'scource' who sagely informs us on the front page of today's Sunday Mail that "It will not be a normal festive period." Someone take him outside and kick his arse please - and the fool who decided we needed to be told what is blindingly obvious to anyone not currentl...

I tend towards overkill when it comes to backup. I don't like having all my digital eggs in one basket. Unfortunately, I'm also a digital hoarder who can't delete anything. I've successfully eliminated clutter from my real shelves, but those 500 gigs of low-def video from a project 12 years ago? I m...

Maybe you haven't tried the right one yet.

I'm not putting it on you. I'm trying to recruit you.

Shadowlands starts next week. Fresh expac. Good time to jump in.

I never follow instructions. If you played WoW, you'd know that Hel is the name I go by there.

How can I join you when I don't have an invitation?

(I'm in there, just can't see anything.)

Might be me. Might be Mirror Universe me.




Prime Universe TOM.

WoW is having a free-to-play weekend if any of you MIA folks want to drop by for a visit.

I love a good storm, but I'll pass on thunder/lightning if it doesn't include rain, as that's what caused some of the fires here this year. Local weather report had a clickbait headline promising a major weather change tomorrow with a picture of a person holding an umbrella. Turned out it's just goi...

They're certainly preparing for Armageddon here. They were boarding up all the windows of my workplace when I left today. I was worried that they wouldn't - most places in the area started to do so last week, and the company is notoriously cheap about such things. (Though they have had to replace a ...

I've heard that before, and I'm a bit skeptical because she isn't scared or anxious, she's just like I can't even.

Harley is rocking it though.

That's really lousy. The company I work for just did a big layoff, mostly at the top (see why I won't let them promote me?) - I'm not directly affected (yet), but I think the worst is yet to come. Knowledge is good, but there isn't much I can do with it right now. Most places I would consider going ...

That sounds awful, Ananda. I'm so sorry. I'm annoyed right now because I got a jury summons for next month. Being in a courtroom (even at limited capacity) is a bit out of my comfort zone right now. I could postpone it for up to six months, but it doesn't really seem like things will be much better ...

Yes, we need pics!

I always thought Kara would enjoy the harness if she gave it a fair try. I can get it on her with no problem, but then she's one of those cats that immediately rolls over and refuses to budge until it's removed.

Way back in the Normal Days, this was the time of year when it would start getting cold and rainy. There was a short period where it looked like that might even happen, then NOPE, another heat wave.
