Wobbly One Of Myriads @wobblewuffess@awoo.space

Not a happy camper right now. Had to cancel my dual booster shot today because I still haven't gotten my COBRA paperwork so I have no health insurance... Tara came back from first time visiting her partners in months and has a headache and congestion.. Partners while also symptomatic tested neg for covid.. but I don't know if it was a RAT or PCR test.

Siiigh.. she's negative on a RAT right now while having headache, fatigue and congestion for a day.

Weeh... I just got laid off... should have followed the wind better... new CEO... reorg vibes.. several senior people leaving in the last 3 month.. @.@

Offered two weeks severance and thankfully happened before we moved, so we have move funds to buffer.

Of course, like 30 minutes after I flipped my linkedin to look for work a recruiter from one of their competitors reached out to me...

@anthracite Every day

Getting real tired of being the only person that cleans the kitchen, does dishes in addition to being /the person/ who cooks and provides the groceries..

My only work this sprint....

Break a bunch of stuff in pre-production environments and document how to fix it (secretly) in preparation for next sprint..
It which we are going to put engineering through simulated oncall and break shit without telling them.

CHAOS REIGNS!

Blah.. been having bunch of shoulder-bicep problems lately with my right shoulder (the one that was put back together 17 years ago.. worried I detached the bicep tendon again) my doctor ordered an x-ray but because of Covid numbers locally I haven't actually been able to go in to get it done.

So fucking tired of this shit.

@Draekos And yes.. raptorbot because she was an AGI who was almost always sleeved into a heavily modified Opteryx.

@Draekos Literally been there with EP1.

Had a character spend a week literally cobbling together a SLOTV from the shot up remains of a half dozen SLOTV, LLOTVs and suborbital transports on an exo-planet to get to one of it's larger moons. (In her defense, prior to the campaign she'd spent the last 5 years as a ship breaker in a scum swarm and had the skillset and tools to pull something like that off)

GM ran it as a skill challenge sort of deal.. and ended up with an 11, 2 and 99 over the course of the week.

So party and survivors all pile into this thing.. which she is the only person in the group with Piloting at all (in this case it was spacecraft and skimmers) so she has to fly it.

Launch goes okay and then a couple of km up the mains lose power and this very not aerodynamic brick starts to do what you can expect..

Queue screaming because there is nobody left on planet to run the resleeving facility in the wreckage of the base they just left.. and our poor raptor-bot ends up having to exit the the SLOTV while it is tumbling in atmosphere (on an earthlike planet no less) to make emergency repairs (and burn some Moxie) while spinning up a fork in her multi-tasker implant to fly the SLOTV while the rest of the party struggles with securing shit that came lose during a high-g spin and themselves.

She managed to make repairs, arrest the spin and get the SLOTV back under control but burned a ton of fuel in the process and fried most of the life support's batteries so the 3 biomorphs onboard have to suit up, have a whole scramble for life support resources and then blow the last of the onboard air as propellant for landing deceleration which is just enough for our crash to become a crash landing.

But for the rest of the campaign (ended up running for 2 years, this was in the first month) the party never lets her live down the fact that they ran out of life support and crashed on the moon (even if they survived and surviving the all of that is basically miraculous in itself).

It made for an extremely memorable series of scenes.. because we rolled for stuff that needed to happen to push the plot forward.

@lhos They showed up like 20 minutes ago, thankfully.

Update:

USPS delivered my meds today.

Love the tracking info reporting it delivered yesterday at a specific time.

@mawr Possibly.. fingers crossed.. pharmacy seems to think they'll show up today.

And the saga continues... according to Kaiser's Pharmacy department.. their tracking says it was not delivered yet and it is out for delivery between 1:30pm and 4:30pm today

I can't even report a problem or complain to the USPS because the package has a special service tag (I guess it has something to do with how KP mails them out). Only Kaiser can file a complaint about it. :/
