Hi, friends!
How is your day going? Anything you’re looking forward to this week?
My water meter is supposed to be switched out today. About an hour after I’m writing this post. I was supposed to get 2 reminder phone calls ahead of time and I’ve gotten none, so I’m not optimistic about this happening. 🤣
I bought two new games today, Lonesome Village and since The Last Campfire was on sale for $3 I picked it up too. I may not be around much!
Yes you will.
The world needs more Bronson .gifs!😉😁

I love all the games you play! Saving this rec for later.
I started The Last Campfire. It’s very pretty, more existential angst than I expected but I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.
What are you playing it on? It looks beautiful.
@memeweaver I’m going to guess Nintendo Switch
Leafs games. Dubas (the GM) finally realised (because his job is on the line) that the team needed grit…and he’s putting all the chips in with all the new trades.
Leafs fans, for the first time in…well, since the last time Luke Schenn, for whom they just traded, played for them…YEARS will be able to finally see a whole fuckton of hitting.

13-11
1967 – 2008
With Stevie at the helm, it’ll likely be 14-18 or even 20 by the time he’s done, but I just want the 14.
Please don’t destroy my false hope.
You’ll always have this
and…INFINITELY MORE IMPORTANTLY…I’ll always have this…
Not when they are losing 6-1 to Ottawa
Meeting with a foot specialist about a couple problems. I wanted him to do my original foot surgery several years ago but he was not covered by my insurance, now he is. Since my youngest met our family deductible by herself, we might be getting some things we put off done. My wife is taking me out to a romantic dinner & overnight stay for my birthday in a few days, that will be fun. It is also my wine clubs spring release on Sunday so I get my new wine allotment. Sobriety is not looking likely this weekend.
Good luck with that. My wife’s recovery from foot and ankle surgery is on track. The good news is that the surgeons seem like machines and are very skilled, and the surgery was quick. The down side is recovery can take a long time depending on how extensive it is. But it’s looking like it was definitely worth it for the long run.
I did it once & hope to not do it again. Rehab was long & no driving for 4 weeks or more may prevent me from doing it now. I’m not in pain from it until I hike or over due it in v-ball. It’s about knowing if it will get worst or if redoing surgery is worth it. First surgeon was a rookie & pulled my broken tendon way too tight when he reattached.
Happy early birthday!
Thank you
Early congrats, too!
This week is mostly in the office. Today was the BIG KICKOFF of the new project and we needed ALL HANDS ON DECK.
It was a galactic scale waste of time today.
I don’t anticipate the rest of the week being any better.
Those are such wonderful meetings. So much gets done and such a great use of everyone’s time!
The best part is one of our eleventy-billion VPs said that she wanted to hear ideas from everyone about how the company could get back to pre-Covid financial health. The most obvious answer (and the one that popped up in the zoom chat within 10 seconds of her asking for ideas) was to dump all of the empty office space they’ve been paying for over the last 3 years. She spent the next five minutes not answering the question and instead using terms like “we need to rationalize the office space.”
If they ever decide to force everyone back to the office full time there will be a stampede for the doors.
I saw two deer a half block from me in daylight this weekend. They’re surrounding us.
The deer in parts of St Louis county are out all hours of the day, too. I’m always like heeeeey you’re supposed to be avoidant in daylight, yet here you are eating hostas at 2pm???
work fast tracked my appointment to go see the outside head doctor to tomorow instead of next week….which i got the notification letter for yesterday
which seems awefully close notice for a mandatory appointment that carries severe concequences if missed without a good reason…
not sure i trust any of that….but oh well…gets it over and done with
anyways…HR fuckery is always good fun
Catberts are nasty.
Me? I’m looking forward to the next few weeks when the fallout of a big announcement I was expecting happened.
I’ll say that it was the most fucking hilarious thing I’ve witnessed at work because I pretty much called it from day one (because I understood the difficulty and the scale of the project as well as the inept fuckwits who formed this team.) Imagine a group of the most arrogant incompetent fuckwits joining together to form a superteam of fuckwits on one of the most far reaching corporate projects ever. Imagine these fuckwits not having a single clue of the actual immense scale of the project and the HUGE obstacles in their way and the team having none of the technical skills/experience required. Imagine this superteam fucking up from end to end for three years accomplishing jack shit and costing several million in consultant fees.
Yah. You can understand why I’ve been smiling.
Not to sound like a total arrogant fuckwit myself, but I’m actually one of the few people at work who done this sort of project and maybe could have saved them from any kind of embarrassment or stench of failure (extremely unlikely as even at my most conceited, I know I can’t save fuckwits from themselves.)
So I stood on the sidelines (I didn’t even bother applying for positions that came up) watching the SuperTeam Fuckwit blow everything up and knowing them, they’re all blaming each other for this fuck up while running for a place to hide or out the door.
@manchucandidate I can sense your giant grin while reading this comment. Savor the Schadenfreude. You deserve all the satisfaction. It’s been a long time coming. 😈
We’re attending a little private event at a local brewery on Friday. That cannot get here soon enough.
