All cameras now working with OBS. Progress. Need better lighting and a better stand for c922 camera. Ordered. Next step figuring out how to get players in without having to go through a public twitch channel.
Discord is an option.
Goto meeting is an option.
I will get online gaming and I will be able to use my Dwarven Forge set ups. I won't have to rebuy all my rulebooks for FG.
It just is taking longer than I want.

And since it is 530 AM, and I am alone in my basement, for all you know, I am doing my camera set up naked.

Boss just texted. My student's PCR came back negative! We're reopening my classroom tomorrow.
Aaaaand, I don't have to quarantine and get tested.Edit: and before I completely forget my manners, thanks so much for the hugs and support! So grateful for all of you.
Hooray!

It doesn't matter if you have standards if no one else working with you has the same standards.
When you see something isn't right when you're building something don't f%$#ing ignore it and hope it will fix itself.
Stop. Figure out what's wrong. Fix it. And then you can proceed.

Proof That There Are Still Decent People Out There
I don't read between the lines in executivespeak very well, so when at last quarter's all-hands the head of our division was talking about new hires and he said they'd be "adjusting the size of the organization based on COVID", I figured that meant no new hires. After all, COVID hadn't hit us very hard.
My colleague immediately knew that that meant cuts, and she kept her ear to the ground and heard when the cuts were starting elsewhere in the world.
So she went to my manager and said, "I'm only a year out from retirement anyway, and if I get laid off the unemployment benefits are really good right now so that'll be plenty for me. Go ahead and cut me first if the cuts happen."
And they did, and she went, and saved the rest of us.
Awesome woman!

1) Fixed it.
2) Applies to almost every profession. Especially criminal enterprises. I mean government institutions. I mean all of them except where it obviously no longer matters if you do the job you were hired for, or if you were even remotely competent as a substitute velcro application specialist in the kid's shoe department at a bankrupt department store.

On the plus side, I'm still 0-fer for remembering holidays this year.
I found out when Lisa sleepily said "Happy Anniversary!" In her sleep fog this morning.
Usually I have a few weeks and I still barely don't screw it up, this year I get to make it all up entirely between now and when I get home from work.

Which reminds me. I think it was two anniversaries ago that both Aiymi and I forgot our anniversary for about a week or so. We both simultaneously remembered about a week later or something during a conversation.

I hate anniversaries. I used to love them, never missed a one in 16 years and for most I made it a big deal (there were a couple, admittedly when the kids were babies that neither of us could muster the energy or resources to make a hoopla). Yeah, anniversaries used to be awesome.
Then May of 2015. We'd only been separated for a month at that point and a few months prior to that I thought we were happily married. She calls ME on my way to work to wish me...
Happy Un-Anniversary

Yep. August in the Bay Area. It's gotten cold enough we have to close the windows during the day because the thermometer may say 67°F, but add a completely overcast sky and a 10-15 mph breeze and it gets downright chilly when you're sitting at a computer all day.
Yup, absolutely nothing going on!

She walks up beside me and asks: "Can I have a hug, we MADE it" with a smile on her face. I of course say no and physically start backing away from her.
"I don't care, I'm doing it anyway." was her response throwing celebratory arms around me.
NOPE nope nope nope nope nooooooooooooooooooooope. There's not much that wigs me out quite as much as someone insisting on touching or grabbing at me when I've told them no or made it obvious I'm not interested in physical contact.

That is assault.
We teach young girls and young boys that if someone touches you after you say no, that they are doing something very wrong.
Grownups who didn't get that message as children are free to learn it now.
It is no less assault in a personal relationship than it would be in an office.

Thankfully, the General is pretty cool and isn't b*@#@%+ crazy so we've had 19 years of mostly happy marriage.
I've seen and heard enough stories like yours to appreciate how rare that is.

The General (to Crookshanks, about her bunny): I swear she's doing it on purpose!
Crookshanks: I swear she's acting out because I've been at work!
Me: G$$@%*n f+&!ing s*#*!!
.. Were we NOT taking turns swearing?.

From my cousins who had one, I was always given the impression that rabbits are extremely finicky pets, and don't react to any kind of change of routine well.

Apparently the General forgot to bring her fresh lettuce from the garden in a timely fashion this morning and the bunny was throwing stuff around the room (she free roams (with a litter box) during the day).
All was forgiven when the lettuce was delivered.

This week I've learned nothing from Far Cry 5, because I haven't played it, and not my usual way of learning nothing, which would be by playing the game.

I have just finished Crysis 2.
13 hours? That is terribly short, especiallyu taking into account all the rerstarts I had to do later in the game because of that stupid "dying" thing. It would probably run down to 10 hours of straight play...
I have mixed feelings about this game. The graphics is beautiful even at the lowest setting (which is, humorously, called "High"). The story feels ok (as much as you can expect of a block-buster SF action flick). The game play is ok, for most of the time, though it could be better. Far Cry was much better in that aspect, even if lot more repetitive because of the open world design.

About as childish as the day we actually divorced. Go to the court for the finalization of the decree, I walk out trying to hide tears and put some distance between us, waiting for the elevator. She walks up beside me and asks: "Can I have a hug, we MADE it" with a smile on her face. I of course say no and physically start backing away from her.

As Captain America once famously said in the comic "And a Phoenix Shall Arise": "I don't know Sam, some nights it just gets worse y'know? Some nights... it just... gets worse!"
Anyway, that's my tragic tale. I hate anniversaries, quarantine is a terrible time to try once again to start dating in your 40's, and some people aren't very nice to you after you split up. Probably the story of a million other folks. At least I've got my health.
I am a firm believer that some things you should not forgive. Put them behind you so that they no longer hurt you, yes. Forgive? Hell no.
