Pol reference, snark 

There are days when I want to get into politics with my co workers, then when they're fuming at me for being that lefty smile sweetly and mention I'm further right than 99% of my friends, just to watch the whiplash make their heads explode :P

Well either that or the "Obama wasn't left enough" line.

We've got a dude here that thinks Ted Cruz is a dem.

UI follies, unlearning reflexes 

@Momentrabbit and this is why floating UI elements are a bad idea.

Seen: an ad for office phone booths. Maaaybe it's time to admit that open plan offices are stupid?

Work - 

My supervisor was surprised today when I said I wasn't going to do the work of other teams today. (I have been). I guess the idea that constantly harassing me about being sick and shorting me money might cause me to be less willing to help hadn't occured to her.

Fandom Proximal Snide Comment 

@Soreth @Phorm also trainwreck syndrome

Can we just rewind to the last con now? :P

...so at some point Windows 10 introduced a setting that deletes files out of your Downloads folder if they've been there too long. It's off by default but WTF MS?

GRS recovery day 6, family (-) 

@makyo that's a hell of a timing, yeah

Space Engineers continues to have the silliest mod system I've ever seen. Every time you load a game, it downloads them all again.

My day (---) (TL/DR) 

TL/DR: Today can go die in a fire thank you very much, that was a 'wonderful' way to come back from a con. Gah.

At least I have my new Nerf thing now. Of course I ordered that before work shorted me $1000. Again.

My day (---) 

-Including passing cars, mind you.
-Get to pharmacy, they argue with me over another med, repeatedly. Insurance hasn't come through on a DIFFERENT med she's out of, so that's another $150.
-I break down crying here.
Then they hide her antibiotic in the bag with her painkillers (it's always one med per bag) so I have to go back.
-Get my first food of the day.
-Return to her apartment, find her asleep. She wakes up enough to be highly annoying.
-Come home, try to relax, windows update

My day (---) 

-During this I've realized, and Soreth has confirmed, that she's locked out and doesn't have access to her meds. Bonus! (dragons are very very helpful, got her food later)
-Ask for a work note, get looked at like I have two heads.
-She's discharged, work to get her back in the apartment. 30 minutes later the emergency people finally let her in.
-Leave the apartment to get her meds. Get screamed at until the light changes by an asshole who was trying to pick fights with EVERYTHING.

My day (---) 

-Wake up for the first time post-con return, sleepy. It was warm last night, didn't sleep well.
-Forget my prox card so I can't do things like get food or pee without getting help to get back in the building.
-Get called at 12 from mom, quote "I think I'm having a stroke"
-Beat her to the ER, she's acting...weird and a bit weak, but hasn't eaten all day and didn't get up til 5 yesterday, and has a UTI so that might be it. She gets discharged 5 hours later over her objections.

Headed to the board game room, hoping for Mafia de Cuba

BLFC, emotional 

@Doephin James Adams, thank you autocorrect.

I suspect he'll still be awake for a long while as someone got him to drink Black Blood of the Earth for charity...at like 1130.

In his set he played a song that ended up being a direct hit to the feels, especially with the intro. Achievement unlocked: hide head in arms because the singer is making you weep..
