I love my manager.
Unfortunately, the "TV" is a 6-hour training session on our new product, so it's not exactly five star entertainment. But it is curling up in my cuddler with a giant mug for 6 hours and not thinking.
Amusingly enough, no, they weren't Indian. One's from Central America and the other from South America. But yes, not from the U.S.
WTH, Vanykrye! I posted that, recognized that I was responding to the wrong thing, and deleted it, all in under 120 seconds.
What do you do, have a daemon monitoring FaWtL?
No denial I can ever make is going to be believed at this point.

I shall dub this place Yesterday Land!

Also, is your department hiring?

On the one hand, last night's low was only 57°F and it's 72°F outside right now, so it's not like we're actually experiencing anything remotely akin to Fall or Winter.
On the other hand, last night GothBard got so cold that I had to bring in the portable heater from the studio to warm up the room this morning.
So today I turned on all the pilots and the heat is on in my house.
The Bay Area. We don't measure seasons by the weather (because we don't have any). We measure them by when we turn on and off our various climate control devices.

Hey, captain yesterday, I've got an idea for your next patio. 1000 square feet of random pavers in all different sizes, colors, and shapes, laid out randomly. Make sure there is one large stone, a different color from any of the others, set in the center of one edge. Tell the homeowners that if they stand on that stone and let their eyes relax, that they will see a 3D image of a schooner appear like one of those magic eye posters. Of course, it's b+~*~@%~, but I wonder if you can get them to say that they can see it just because they're too self-conscious to admit that they can't see it.

Unfortunately right now, only if you're willing to move to Atlanta.

According to Dead Reign, a zombie apocalypse rpg, society begins to collapse in Chicago and then Milwaukee.
I'm not surprised.
Edit: I was wrong! It started to collapse in Milwaukee while a biker gang from Chicago was on a ride up to Milwaukee to get away from the chaos in Chicago.
I'm even less surprised.

It's Saturday morning.
I've been at work for the last two hours prepping for the coming week.
Later today, I get to make bread, do laundry, do my meal planning and grocery shopping for the week, prep for tomorrow's game, and take Hermione to Nutcracker rehearsal.
Explain to me how the weekend is supposed to be time "off"?
FML.

You should enter my world, my side of the family are all political activists or political lobbyists.
And then everyone on the General's side are wack wannabe rednecks so they've been making hard choices between hording their ammo for after January (because they're convinced redacted will take all their guns because that's what liberals do) and using it for hunting season.

So, on the one hand, I know that this is no different from fans who trash their own cities when their team wins the Super World Series Cup Bowl, but as I was telling both the kids, once the final results are announced there will be riots in Berkeley and Oakland one way or the other, because it's what we do.
So one more night of them being banned from going out for the evening, then I'm hoping calm prevails. Time will tell.
EDIT: It is kind of funny living in this neighborhood, though. In spite of our neighbor's avid singing, drumming, chanting, and so forth (a very "New Age" music teacher), she's usually very good about closing her windows when she's being noisy outside of the "standard" 10-4 day.
So this morning when she came into her back yard and started whooping at the top of her lungs at 9:00 am, and I heard an air horn from a block away, I figured something had happened...
