my credit score took a huge hit since it was one less open line of credit. Never mind that paying off loans early SHOULD be an indicator you're reliable.

So maybe I should pay off all but $1 to keep the line open for another 2 years but avoid accumulating significant interest? :P

...ANYWAY. Short work weeks with Mon-Tue off starts today, and I'm thinking about going and paying off the rest of my car loan since I'm available during bank hours, so that I don't have to budget for that in the coming... whatever the heck this economic situation is.

But last time I did that...

(Also despite the... gruesome jokes about transferring pokemon, mentally every time I transfer a Buneary or other rabbit pokemon my character is sending them to the prof to place in a bunny sanctuary where they can romp happily with each other and my character can visit them whenever they're home.)

Okay that was hilarious. Despite the fact the outcome was clear, I didn't "skip" the spin, and after it stopped, it did that "JUST KIDDING, LET'S SPIN AGAIN REAL FAST" thing.

Boy, that sure did change the results. XD

Honestly I don't know how to succinctly describe either one of them on their own, let alone their dynamic.

AUGH. They are SO ON THE BRAIN lately and I wish I had reason to ramble about them. -_-

Miserable demigod tired of worship meets miserable cynic who is almost but not quite entirely broken, and tests how close he can come to breaking him without doing so and spoiling the fun; basically breaks himself in the process.

I've heard him murmur it of me, in particular moments - that I am the falling leaves of autumn to him. I'd always thought him poetic, from the way he speaks his prophecies, but I confess I'd never thought he would express it on my behalf.

As for him, his season is winter, no doubt. He drifts through this corrupted land, this ruined city, like a snowfall; everything he touches, no matter how foul, seems purer when he has claimed it. Seen from afar, from the safety of a window or the Sight, he is serene and comforting.

It is only those who find themselves lost in him, knee-deep in him, fighting to find strength beneath the dark ice of his gaze and the biting cold of his fingers - only such a man knows how bitter winter can be.

...Ah heck. As noted, Sydney/Hardin-pilled lately, probably because of walks through autumn forests. Always does that for some reason*. So have something relevant.

Playing on Dynamis and seeing PCs who are there and then not there... suddenly have the urge to make an alt that's just the default male lala archer and name it Definitelynot Gilbot.

Let's just say I was already particularly Sydney/Hardin-pilled this weekend even without hearing "Blood and Fire". -_-

Nearly every time I listen to the Indigo Girls I remember when my ex said of us "I've found the Amy to my Emily" and like... YES. THAT. And I have no idea if the current generation of young queer folk would even understand that. XD

(Man I miss karaoke... and having someone to harmonize with.)

(I've occasionally engaged in some shenanigans like "Oh okay new player has reached this zone but needs something in the part they can't reach until they can enter from the other side, hop on, let's attune the aetherytes!" but Yanxia has like... actual roadblocks that are gradually removed...)

...a multiperson mount just so happens to fly along the One River and pass through a certain area that appears perfectly clear to the pilot, but is, uh, definitely not to one of the riders?

Yanxia's full of stuff that changes as the plot progresses. Hmm!

...About to send a new character into Yanxia for the first time and I have this awful urge to find someone to do some... experiments.

What happens if you're in a party and someone teleports to the aetheryte at the House of the Fierce before there's an aetheryte there?

Or what if...

But yeah it's nice since with Uri I always have to consider how far the player may be in the story, which bits do they lean on for how they view Uri (most folks just <3 at him, but some call him a traitor) so it's hard to know how to address them IC until we've talked a bit. XD

Something that is a bit of a relief with the Margrat alt - if someone recognizes her, I know exactly the context for interactions. No one who hasn't done her custom deliveries questline would know her, so it is ALWAYS appropriate to refer to the PC as "my most dependable personal gleaner!" :D

Eventual resolution: They provided all the info in text and just added the PDF-converted-to-JPG at the bottom beneath it. Probably best possible outcome but like. I could have helped you do that initially instead of going through this entire lengthy discussion...

"Can we attach the PDF file with HTML?"

No, file attachments are handled by the program you're composing the email in. You could link to the PDF though.

"but but but we made a pretty graphic and want it to show up *in* the email!"

AUUUUUGGGH

Marketing wants to send out an email with a graphical flyer about an event, currently in PDF format. Maybe we can convert it to JPG? Yeah but then we fail ADA requirements unless you repeat the entire text of the flyer. Maybe we can embed the flyer? PDF embed doesn't show up in Outlook.

* Also there was that thing where I was having panic attacks that were so unprompted I'd just WAKE UP hyperventilating and shaking and stay that way a couple days... which went away entirely when I went low FODMAP to try to heal the gut symptoms. It didn't do what I had hoped, but I WILL TAKE IT.
