Rebecca is trying this place out

so many things these days feel like something a sailor moon villain made up to sap our energy

I don't generally check my work email on days like today where I've taken sick time, but I did want to know if my meeting was still in-person tomorrow and I'm happy to see it isn't

Oh good, I was supposed to have to go in tomorrow, but it looks like campus will be closed and the meeting was moved to be online-only so....

I don't have to even make a call on that, I can just stay in and not play the "who didn't shovel yet" game

Catching up with Other World's Bean Counter

Seiichiro: "He applied a very thorough barrier yesterday, so I should be fine"

Me: Oh......is *that* what you call it 😆😉...

The #HanaKimi anime might be a hot mess ("...did a potato draw that??"), but at least some of that is forgiven because one of my favorite characters looks to be showing up next week 🌹🌹🌹

I really should just re-read the manga at some point considering I have the whole series?

Good: my stomach is doing much better than yesterday
Bad: Now I can't stop coughing for some reason (irritating my throat yesterday probably didn't help....)

Considering I can't really go anywhere to get anything (don't think anything's open?), I'll be making due with yuzu/honey tea in the fridge

All hail the "scheduled send" email when you feel like ass and want to sleep in (but still need to let the boss know you're taking a sick day at an appropriate time)

Feeling a bit better than I was, but there was no way I was working (from home) today...

And usually if I feel like total ass and need provisions, I just muster up enough energy to go up the block to the store

But there's kind of a blizzard outside? So I will be making due with what I have here....

Well, I *was* going to make chili today, but my stomach decided to rebel against that idea...🫠

Not sure what exactly set it off this time....

LRP: That song is SO embedded in my brain (thanks to repeated exposure at a relatively early age) that I start humming it any time I'm trying to figure out 24hr time for the evening

It's really catchy!

Good and useful tech doesn't have to force itself onto you. Good and useful tech doesn't have to beg to be used.

This whole thing is kind of wild.... and when when I played regularly for the year or so after the game came out, I didn't know about any of this

(Most we did were small-scale swaps/free item things coordinated over Discord)

😅 Went from "let me check out the #ACNH update for a little bit" to "let me fill out more of the DIYs and catalog" to "what what is there?" to "treasure??"

(Thanks random rabbit hole....)

Though it does seem to be auto-playing.....so maybe I'll just let it drone on in the background while it repeats the same exact thing I've sat through every year for the past like, 7 years at this point......

Wake me up when the test pops up.....

Figured since my brain was fried and the week was over I'd see if I could knock out one of these stupid repetitive trainings they make us do

The first one let me skip to the end of each thing (because it's the same every year) and I finished it in 5 minutes

But the next one WON'T LET ME SKIP 😭

I mean, *they* can think about it over the weekend.... but you've got better things to use your brain for (like literally anything that isn't work) 😆

"It used an old port that computers don't have anymore"

"Like Firewire?"

"Way older..."

(And I realize the one I have is probably older than this student...😅)

One of our Gen Z student workers was talking today about how he wished he had a Palm Pilot or something (what he was describing was really a feature phone)

And I was trying to explain that they original ones (like mine) didn't have *any* data and had to sync via Serial Port to the PC

! The magical time of year where the good macaroons are available

(And now that my parents aren't in the area, I can't just ask them to buy me a bag for the next time I'm over....so I'm on my own for sourcing them now)

Oh, you are in for a RIDE! Enjoy!

About fucking time.......

I did already watch the first ep without subs on the official JP YouTube channel, but I would prefer watching where I understand *all* of the dialog instead of just 70-80% of it?

Oooo, my favorite slightly(?) unhinged Nico Nico stream is coming back

It went on "indefinite hiatus" a year or so ago, so I figured it had just been a fever dream that wasn't coming back 😅

I was hoping for a print release of Tanaka-kun, but I'll take this as a consolation prize 😅

😂

Man, the people who made this game CLEARLY had some.....*interests* in designing everything Shinigami-chan-related

100% jiggle physics, swimsuits, being the Rose Bride, being a Magical Girl, being a giant, being gross (🤮), being mean to EVERYONE

I like that they buried the important "we may have gotten them to give you that step raise you were entitled to at promotion based on our current contract" under a bunch of junk I'm not all that interested in

Yes, please, more $$ that I should have been getting the past 2 years...

Mitsuki and Aya hanging out, laughing, and enjoying themselves, while listening to Tonight, Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins

Reading "the green yuri" and I gotta say, these kids have good taste 😆

Don't get me wrong, I like banana bread, but I didn't order damaged or brown bananas... and definitely didn't plan on making two full loaves' worth....

Though I also had some homeless eggs to use (since those *also* arrived damaged and I had to rehouse the survivors)....

The bananas I had gotten with my grocery order showed up so damaged (they were still green, but clearly very banged up) that the only thing I could do with them was make banana bread (and get a refund)

So I have batter in my fridge now to bake off when I get back from rehearsal?
