Bob, A coworker and I parted ways a few weeks ago, in terms of being friendly at work, because I put my foot down and said my staff didn't have time to help her with a project she was leading (it would, for full disclosure, be beneficial for the whole library but certainly not essential). I also sug...

Dear All of You, I know we're a small, quiet bunch now but you always have a piece of my heart. Always. 14, almost 15, years of companionship - and you gave me the love of my life - makes you rather unforgettable. Wishing everyone a very happy new year, filled with more joy than 2017 was able to del...

I mostly successfully created/sewed two infinity scarves to gift to friends.

Bye-bye net neutrality.

We'll bring you back.

I think the government will keep making poor decisions, and people will stay angry. Unfortunate, but should help with turnout.

Doug Jones win in Alabama!

I had to pay a penalty charge for my birth control because I didn't use a 3 month supply option that I had been told for over two years I did not qualify for.

Now that is some straight up bullshit.

I should probably stop using AIM's impending demise as a reason to reach out to a few lost Pwebbers to tell them the thing I interacted with them on is dying. ALL THE DRAMA. It was just two, but still. I miss them but life. I will definitely not try to get one last chat in an AIM chatroom going. Hon...

Dear You, While we never did date, I feel like it was a close call and something the both of us did a really good job of subconsciously f****** up. Probably for the best, given I just heard a song from roughly that time in my life and it reminded me of you/us. It's about abuse. Me Dear You, Did you ...

:-? There isn't much back and forth, but I can easily see a dozen posts in October, just below this thread. And, again, there isn't much discussion but the stuff that exists mostly stopped being about Ender long ago, with the exception of the time around the movie release. But where are my manners? ...

Irrational irritation: People who specifically mention they are aware I sent them information before but ask me to resend it instead of doing a keyword search to find it themselves. Irrational Irritation: Trying to get help from certain, specific people at work. I know it's just going to make me mor...

I got caught up tonight on my committee work. Woo-hoo!

(It's constant, sometimes tedious, and definitely time consuming.)

Gravity Defier

Me: Are you going to take my last name when we get married?
zero: What? No.
Me: Why not?
zero: My last name is cooler.
Me: So...you're going to take my first name, then, when we get married? Because my first name is way cooler than yours.

I got within 20 seconds of my best time! I also went back to a minute away on my latest run, but improvement is happening.

Just in time for it to start getting really cold out.

Gravity Defier

EL also included the link in the Upgrades, and signup changes announcement thread, for the curious. I sadly don't have the requisite time or attention span for a more chat-like experience at the moment, so if I have to choose one thing to pay attention to, that'll be here. But I hope folks who can j...

Bob,

A little sad over the loss of AIM IMing soon. Most of my best conversations, with some of my best friends, took place over that service.

Old Twin Peaks? Weird. As. s***.

(But I still need to know what's going to happen next...)

zero and I won't be spending our first Christmas as homeowners in our home, which I'm strangely a little sad about. I am, however, excited by the thought of zooming past Halloween and Thanksgiving so I can start decorating for it. I don't, however, include the likely weather in my visions. It will s...

Gravity Defier

zero is trying to discourage my beating myself up if I don't improve my time from week to week, so he's stopped telling me what he tracks. BUT, I listen to music when I run and if I'm not making a mistake with the math of that , I think I may be just a minute away from matching my best time. I am ca...

Soon, there will hopefully be the smell of homemade cinnamon rolls baking. It's been a stressful 11 months, guys.

The dread and fatigue from all the bad things. Hurricanes, Vegas, anything Trump and friends touch (healthcare, taxes).

Congratulations; that's wonderful news, buckshot!

I love the actual fall weather after summer did its damnedest to go out with a 90+ degree bang.

I had been avoiding some graphic novel committee duties for a few weeks because it was piling up and starting to intimidate.

All caught up now!

I think many people fail to think of library cards as being very similar to credit cards. When people sign up, they agree to terms set forth by the library and again, due to it being a social contract as much as anything (the library agrees to do our best for the community and with their money, the ...

When do you get your results?

I'd say good luck, but what's done is done at this point. Whatever similar sentiments are appropriate should be inserted here.

Gravity Defier

Yeah, not counting my silliness (I just should know better and shouldn't acquire the late fees, since I can see easier than most what my due dates are), late fees and other fines can become a huge barrier to low income families/individuals, because one lost item or one setback can snowball and then ...

I watched a short clip of it while visiting my grandpa last month and it was not terribly impressive or interesting to me. I might give it an actually fair try at some point but it's not a priority.

Is the fire near you, or is the smoke just drifting your way? I hope it clears up soon. I can't imagine how awful it all is.

As a librarian, I'm my best reader.

25 seconds shaved off from the last run 4 days ago. 1.5 minutes to go before I match my time from my prime running days 14 years ago. That's not saying terribly much, I was never the fastest. Just steady/consistent.

Gravity Defier

I just kept avoiding my account since it was bothering me to owe anything, and then I realized how much had accumulated/was accumulating from my lack of attention. Mine was $21, which I finally just paid. Bah.

Gravity Defier

Started running again, mostly, sort of. I've gone a few times in the past week, so I'm counting that. My first run was only 3 minutes faster than my slowest run ever at that distance, which is not good. But I suppose it says something that it wasn't as bad or worse despite all my lack of exercise. T...

I don't know how irrational, but definitely an irritation: my Michaels stopped carrying glass beads in individual color packets. If I want any, I have to get plastic multi-color kits, with more colors but fewer beads of each color than I want. :grumble: Also: having to pay late fines on books from m...

Gravity Defier

Eh, couldn't tell you. Over the years I've had green tea, black tea, Chai tea, etc. both prepared myself (following the advice of the internet and possibly Pwebbers) and by others who know much better, and it all tastes awful. :)
