Well damn, the new jacket is one size too small. Time for an exchange I guess!

After napping, I have attained a state that's almost like being awake but also still sleepy and tired. Was dozing in and out for a while, then realized I needed to go to sleep tonight and I probably shouldn't wreck that by sleeping too much now.

sleep deprivation, misgenderings (-) 

~4hrs of sleep last night because of an on-call, and I am not emotionally stable today. Got a PTSD button mashed yesterday and that's still not feeling great either. The food truck guy said "here you go, brother" when he gave me my food and I almost started crying.

trauma, young kids and parents 

Agh the goddamn girl scouts

Second on-call done with. Already at four hours of overtime today, for reals.

Update: The customer's tech also apparently decided that following procedures was optional and did not perform like, three steps that are basically completely necessary to make things work.

Ugggggggh, 6am Saturday on-call because the customer didn't fucking bother to follow a simple procedure and update one text field.... and then someone tried to _fix_ things.

Holy crapweasels, I got paid today plus my bonus plus my tax return. o..o

Welp, time to erase a little debt!

Things I am grateful for: Voluntarily triggering the human body's dive reflex by holding your breath and splashing water on your face can head off a panic attack.

short story 

A band of new adventurers are excited to head out to their new job - they get to the bartender, who tells them:

"Y'know, I think it's big rats down there. They're making way too heavy noises for normal rats. Check it out for me, would ya?"

The adventurers head downstairs. Kobolds sitting around a table playing card games look up, and one excitedly invites them to play.

@Soreth Ready Player One but the "better world" is actually, like, /better/. And original.

@Soreth Ready Player One but it's me forcibly teaching Ernest Cline what "Show, Don't Tell" means, forcibly, with a crowbar if necessary, and then stealing his fucking Delorean and driving it into a lake
