That is just so wrong. From experience, huge jiggly boobies are very inconvenient. Because when you run, they jiggle and designers seem to make dresses for flat girls... Too much boob and you can't get in.
Honestly I've gotten flatter and I'm happy about it.

We could just take over the world, Mort.
Are you thinking what I'm thi- dang it! You already skipped past that bit!
Ya we should. We'd have a world full of dragons and cats where we could burn those who don't like chocolate at stake ;)
All Hail the mighty cocoa bean!
Well, I think so, Mort, but where we gonna find a pair of rubber pants at this time of night? NARF

Would that make it a "TL-CL"?
Eh?
Eh?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
No, there is literally nothing to this "joke" other than they both end in "L" - thus, if pronouncied, sounding repetitive repetitive - and, I suppose, if stretching, that it's kiiiiiiiiind of like, "TLDR" which is basically just my name at this point. EDIT: I defend this joke, however, by dint of the fact that I am literally a dad. So.

Thank you both. I wish I could be more productive, there is still a lot of post-con stuff. But I suppose after being so immensely busy I can spend a day in the sun to bake out the illness.

Well, Woran, this will at least warm your heart...wait...that's not it at all...IT RAGE!!!!!
Supervisor (not mine) puts in a ticket at 6:53pm with the wording of "Please try to have this completed by tomorrow morning for her to be able to work." At nearly 7pm at night. No.
The scene: At home, remote user. She has an older computer that we need to replace, but it's still working fine. We just need to upgrade it to a newer model. There's an RSA token involved for two-factor authentication. She needs the token put on the new thin client in order to use it. Perfectly legit request.
Of course, I don't work at 7pm on something like that. That's just not a good enough reason for me to work after hours. Plus, I was miffed at the supervisor's tone in the ticket, just assuming that I would jump on that in the middle of the evening. Again, no.
I get to the office by 7:30 in the morning. The first thing I do when I sit down is pull up this ticket and start working on it. While I'm in the middle of moving the token, the user's supervisor emails me and a bunch of other people saying this:
"[User] was down all day yesterday and has still not received assistance to get her computer up and operational. Please escalate this request as a priority."
Oh. She was down all day yesterday? Really? Even though she had a working computer? And even though she was "down all day", you didn't feel it necessary to put in a ticket until nearly 7pm last night?
This is really the story you're going to go with?
This is what's coming to my inbox while I was in the middle of taking care of the issue in the first place?
No, this will not stand, but I wait until I'm done fixing the issue to respond to everyone.
"This ticket did not come to me until 6:53pm Central last night. I start work at 7:30am Central. I have just finished moving her RSA token to the new computer at 7:40am."
By doing it this way, I'm calling her out with a timeline without saying anything that will get me reprimanded. Things like "You idiot."

Yeah baking a cold out is a good way of doing it. So is getting some exercise. When I'm actually coughing, the only times I don't cough is when I'm exercising.

I'm getting so many sophomores in for help with a project.
Their teacher is having them do a Shakespeare plays March Madness bracket, so they have to go around and ask the teachers who've read their assigned plays, so they can sell it to the class and win their match-up.
I've read about half of them.
RIP my planning period.

I think I just pictured Freehold sitting by himself at a Portillo's and shoving a Polish sausage up his nose.
I have no idea why.
I think because it's Friday afternoon and I'm starting to hallucinate from too much contact with people who don't listen to anything resembling reason and logic.
Because you just held up the Mouse of Omens and it gave you SIGHT BEYOND SIGHT, that's why.
Today was Day One of the Great Office Move - tomorrow is Day Two, so I have to come into work, which I could do without - and so I spent all day wheeling things around on a sack truck, throwing things in skips and moving heavy objects under close supervision.
My department now has its very own room in the new office, which they haven't bothered to decorate has an industrial aesthetic, along with desks that look like leftovers from the live-action Bulgarian remake of 'The Jetsons'.

Hey, I'm not saying that Cap's rockin' sex life is the benefit of chocolate-abstinence.
But abstinence is the only 100% guaranteed protection. Just saying.

Follow-up:
One of the Rainbow was assigned Titus Andronicus. After learning of Aaron's "I wish I had been a worse person" monologue and "Villain, I have done thy mother," all disappointment at not getting to do Hamlet has vanished.
...though I should probably be concerned that the unrepentant villain is the "best character ever."

My character for Dawn of Flames.
Buttercup, Space Pirate Skittermander Solarian.
The General is making a Nuar (cow people) named Daisy, class and theme TBD.
Tiny T-Rex has a Vesk mechanic named Geko (he's 8 and loves lizards, so)
Now I just have to get Crookshanks and the General to make characters...

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been round much. Life is good. Ohio's spring is glorious, and Athens has tons of free events coming up! I'm finally losing weight again, too.
I thought of this, and it made me laugh, and I had to write it here:
I have two green dealers, let's call then Yoda and Palpatine. The force is strong with Yoda's weed, and the price is on the light side. Palpatine is a Sith: He will give you greater power, but at a cost you may not want to pay.

I think I had a bit of a panic attack this afternoon.
After the sun had gone I went inside and sat behind the computer and I was just sad and overwhelmed. The con was a success and it was amazing having people over and them staying at my house.
But it sucked getting ill on the night from tuesday to wednesday. Not seeing them off. And now loosing multiple days to not feeling well.
There is so much left to do.
I start work again on monday.
Con reports need to be finished.
Money has to be brought to the bank.
After action report has to be filed.
So. Much. Cleaning. In. The. House.
So. Much. Stuff. To. Put. Away.
(there were 5 people staying over)
All the while MrT was very sick, which was very stressfull as well, and he's still not entirely well.
Need to clean rat cage.
Need to write freelance stuff.
And all the while I dont know if I'm too hot? Too cold? Eat a bit? Not eat? Drink? No drink? Take nap?
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

No amount of lube will let him fit it into his nose... It's at least 2 inches thick.

You may have underestimated the Powers of Freehold's Nose.
Probably not, but you never know.

So what was it about the 1h 30 min journey to get myself some quail?
A long standing quail farmer hasn't managed to get his land lease so it means he could be potentially forced to close his business. So I checked out his Facebook page(I like going to farms), to see if he was relocated anywhere else, then saw that his produce was being sold at Anolds Bbq. Which Google mistakenly reported as permanently closed.
I chose not to trust Google, but rather Uncle Williams face book page, so I tracked the store down and had some quail. And a couple of clams and dog conches since my nutrition tracking seems to be indicating that I'm pretty not much getting my 18 mg of iron/day.
So I reported to Google that the store was open, and bagged another 4 quails. If Uncle William doesn't get his lease renewed, it might mean no quails to eat in Singapore!
P.S It's not hard to find quail eggs in Singapore. Quails however are much, much harder to find. I haven't seen one sold since decades ago at a pasar malam(Street market).

Got back last night with Ms. British, it was a nice holiday.
Our luggage packed with stuff to do we apparently forgot, so all we had when we got there was one old, creased copy of The Return To The Temple of Elemental Evil.
With nothing else to do there...
