So, I think I'm going to lose my job; either they will lay me off, or I will walk from it, next fiscal half.

Anyone looking for a 40+-year old *programmer* (please PLEASE do not mistake me for a "software engineer")?

Le sigh.

went to get coffee beverages. was cold and vaguely damp when we left the house; when we left the coffee place it was *pouring* rain. Spouse regretted electing not to bring his waterproof hat, and is now wetter than an otter in a washing machine (cf:DouglasAdams). my non-waterproof hoodie protected my head adequately. we are now home and damper than when we left, but more caffeinated. (well, I am anyway; I got a mocha, he got decaf, which is a switch from our usuals)

Rest in peace, Ben Barres. I hadn't heard of you before, or at least your name never registered in my mind, and I am deeply sorry for that oversight. Thank you for leading the way, and may we all follow your example moving forward.

Pooka is definitely much harder and more selective about getting his purr-motor started than Nar. to get on a proper purr, Pooka needs:
1. attention
2. pets
3. MORE PETS
4. DO NOT STOP PETTING

Nar needs:
1. attention
1.a. YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME YAAAAAY

woooo, I drink caffeine so rarely now that half a cup of chai tea set my heart racing. o_____o

semi-determined not to get anything productive done today (other than cleaning the catboxes and maybe doing dishes). Spouse is working from home, and right now he's muttering to himself in the living room as he does work-stuff with his laptop, which always makes me wonder just how much he talks to himself at work. it's endearing and only slightly alarming. =^___^=

Coroner says she was high on somethin' called Facebook Beast. It's a boner pill for iguanas.

"Nar... what do you ~want~??"
"MRAAWR" *rams head against my leg insistently* "MRAAAR" *uses tail to hook headphones off desk* "MRRRAAAAARRRWWWRRRR" *knocks over trash can next to desk*

Hey Fediverse, I want to see how many trans foxes are out there. Help me do so.

re:lrt: I'm definitely lute kobold, have been ever since I first saw that picture. "IT'S A HOLLOW THING WITH A HANDLE, THAT MEANS YOU PUT STUFF IN IT FOR DRAGGING ~OF COURSE~, plus it makes bonus funny noises when it bounces off rocks"

oops I forgot to take my meds this morning. :| WELP. missing one day isn't terrible, and I've been *very* good about taking them regularly for a long time, so. Reminder To Self!

went downtown for errand, stopped by JoAnn's and Central Market on the way back, then came home and immediately flopped into a nap. woke up, fed cats, fed self, flopped down in front of TV with Spouse, for some Disney short animated things and then two episodes of Planet Earth II, in which I provided extra screams (youtube.com/watch?v=-GvW6Dt5Br). now am waiting for final catfeeding time, then back to bed. BUSY DAMN DAY. :P
