Dreading the upcoming-soon day when I will be unwillingly "upgraded" to Win 10 at work. Already heard how several of the macros I depend on in some of my work apps aren't supported. A step down, in other words, aka par for the course with WinDoze. Actual desktop image is currently a lovely...

He was just picking up his pjs. Can't go to bed in dirty pjs, man.

I couldn't chime in live, but read the subreddit afterwards. Some delightful replies by whomever was writing for Cookie.

Man, that's rough. I sincerely hope he gets the treatment he needs.

Not good. I assume your elected officials are all and only about "free enterprise" and put education on the back burner? Struggling here in WI to undo the damage done by Scott Walker and his corrupt cronies. There are lawsuits out challenging a lot of the "lame duck" legislation passed by a...

Um. Some of these are more disturbing than the run-of-the-mill nonsense one finds online. Has your friend ever talked to a psychiatrist about any of this? I am granted only an armchair psych, but seriously I wonder if your friend suffers from schizophrenia. If they genuinely believe all this, it...

Oh yeah. In the past raises at my company have been performance-based. Yet we all just received a tiny (2% for me) raise that we're told is it for this year, even though performance review isn't until April. Yet my department made the company millions last year. Really? "Insult" is an...

See: all of my life until 2014.

My potential for a supervillain has yet to be fully realized, but yesterday I cackled madly at the chance to shut down a deadbeat client who is behind 3 months on payments to the company where I work. I really should be on the fraud prevention team since I delight in slamming down on scammers.

Started our seeds for this year's garden! Still snow on the ground, but the daytime temps are hitting the low 40s this week. SPRING SPRING BRING IT ON

Yikes. Coal plant pollution?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! All hail the returning Empress of Ugh-Gush! This chapter made me SO happy. I have personally been in a gushy mood of late (no, nothing to do with the artificial Hallmark Holiday, just a period of reconnecting with the big frog of my heart), and this is spilling over into what...

I give you: the Epic: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/kermies-girl-ushy-gushy-fanfic.24000/

Up until Twelfth Night. If we celebrated the season the way some of Europe and South America still do, we'd properly be festive from mid-December through Jan 6. (This is the way I do it.)

I much prefer those to the actual "Christmas Carols" which tend to be either too religious or too sappy for my taste.

Bummed that we didn't get snow for Christmas, and the precipitation this week is forecast to be a mix of rain and snow, freezing rain, ice...yuck. Not a fan of climate change, and the locals who joke about it irritate me. To **** with these highs in the mid-30s. I want WINTER, ******.

I do wish I could entice Ru back in. We keep in touch (just texted each other xmas greetings this week); she says she hasn't been writing much but hopes to get back into it this year. No word on whether that applies to KG, but I will see if I can coax her to finish it. I for one do want to read...

We use Skype at work for interoffice and intercompany chats, and it's fine 98% of the time. Actually really useful for screensharing when you're trying to explain a process over the phone. "Ok, see, click this, then do this..." makes more sense when the other person can see the actions on their...

This was yesterday, but still: I received soft new pjs and fluffy socks and slippers from my sweetie. I was curled up on the sofa gaming, with the tree all sparkly nearby, and gifts from family around us, and hot tea and treats, and I realized how absolutely rich we are to have so much luck and...

At work in a day that is clearly a consummate waste of my time, wishing I had a sick day left so I could've spent it in bed instead, still clogged with a head cold. A trainwreck of a kitchen awaits me at home after several consecutive days of cooking and making cheese (yes, actual cheese, from...
