@Oneironott @indi I'm totally bringing some SM packs with me when I head up there. Pump has been a very nice replacement, and this is coming from a long time DDR nut, all the way up to X2.
Bitching about corporate work
Why the fuck do I have to do 5 other teams jobs, yet I am paid peanuts? Everyone is so far up their own ass that they don't see these obvious issues. I am network, why am I telling you your DLP solution has a memory leak? Why am I finding you didn't bother looking at the bugs showing your GPO agent interfered with the network stack? Of course it's slow, do your goddamn job!

@blackle Please replace my ISPs at work, they are always such a drag to work with and get support. XD
@Mephitidae That's a Wavebird receiver!
@salameleon Oh, and thanks for turning me into Twidere. Once I saw you using it for both Twitter and Mastodon, sold. It's really nice. Gonna buy ∞ here soon.

So, yea, there's my little 'kin experience this week in a nutshell. very interesting to decipher this moment by moment.

I think through all of my experiences in life, Ark has become quite powerful, and I only notice any kind of separation in moments of extreme distress, and sometimes I don't even experience the distress because we capture it and mitigate it so quickly.
It's like I've been 'kin this whole time, and only through better awareness have I actually been able to notice it.

Once I finished there, I made the decision to hop back on the road. Back in the car, safe, and then I suddenly grabbed one of my plushes, hugging it and just stopping for a while. It's like I missed the drop into a panic attack, and I only came back in when the upswing started, where I had my large Stitch in arms, Cheshire in lap, having just taken an Alpha Brain, New Mood, a Tylenol, & a half dose of a CBD serum, along with a block of chocolate. I didn't "feel" the emotion until then.

After seeing that it was just an intense supercell passing over the area, I got back on the road. Just one exit down, I spotted an insane wreck with police, fire and EMT, plus some specialty rescue dispatch that was just arriving. Did Ark know this somehow and forced me to divert? Simply in response to the weather, I was internally screaming "nope.avi" as I dropped into Huddle House for coffee and checking weather/comms.
