I'll do the laundry. Even nekkid.Well, f$$@ me running. Turns out the manager did work a double shift today, so I'm looking at a 7-foot mound of completely untouched laundry. And what am I going to do, complain to him that he didn't do laundry?If you ease up on the room party policy I will do the laundry for you.
Actually, you can get all of your laundry done if you're nekkid. It's more efficient.

Only half of my class showed up for online lessons this morning.
Yes, the lessons are recorded and they can always watch the video later on, and the lesson I put the most work into preparing for had full attendance, but it still irritates me.
In other news, the mom who started the Covid panic that shut down my classroom this week? Tested negative. And the whole family is feeling better, but the little girl lost her voice. Sounds like a non-Covid virus to me, but they're still waiting on official results for my student and the dad before we can go back to campus.

Shiro ran us through the "tutorial assignment" of Blackwatch yesterday, and it's classic Shiro brutality: If you don't carefully examine everything that's going on, read the dossier thoroughly, and connect the dots, you're likely to lose at least half the party. (Blackwatch is an RPG inspired by Runequest and Call of Cthulu, so any agent who makes it through 10 missions is "legendary".)
On the one hand, it was a smooth, seamless mission for us. On the other hand, it was only that way because GothBard's PC made some brilliant deductions to figure out what was actually going on, and the rest of us had the appropriate skills to follow up on her hunches and verify that she was right.
A whole ton of fun and not one lick of combat, but holy cow, the number of ways the mission could have gone sideways was truly evil.
Shiro was cackling throughout, of course.

Hello! And now back to bed to hopefully continue to sleep whatever this is off.
(It not COVID or anything like it.)

I went out today, again. This time I had a ride from home and back for a board game evening - Battlestar Galactica, twice. Once I was human and we won. Once I was human and we lost. Maybe I am better admiral than president. Though the rest of the group thought me cylon when I picked a 3-distance jump with loss of four fuel... we ended hovering on the last point of fuel used in final, winning stride.
We lost all food during the second game.

Where you moving to Vid?
Not far just closer to the city proper... but far enough where I wouldn't want to make the drive everyday for work. they don't pay well enough to warrant a 45 minute commute.

Yeah it's just not worth it... unless your making a mint at the job.

I came in tonight and there is a significant amount of laundry in the back. Nowhere near as much as yesterday, but maybe half as much. So I was pretty upset, to say the least. Then I read the pass on log. There is a note that specifically tells me not to do the laundry tonight. I don't know if this is to make up for me having to do so much yesterday, or if there is something else going on (I can easily imagine that we ran out of detergent or something, so we have to wait for the hotel next door to get a delivery in the morning so we can borrow some). But I'm always happy to not do laundry.
Maybe they felt you've done enough and are irritated at others for leaveing so much for you so they are saving it for someone.

You will definitely make a mint or multiple even.

Maybe. But that seems too empathetic for them. I suspect that there is some other reason.I came in tonight and there is a significant amount of laundry in the back.

You're probably right.

PAizo just needs to go ahead and make a pet collector class. I know many people in many groups that would be ecstatic about it.

Hmm I was just thinking about how some of my players like to collect animals they find. The pack lord may not be too far off.

Her lair smells like ammonia. There are hundreds of semi-feral cats lounging around and/or screwing. Gods help you if you have allergies.
If you take enough levels in the Cat Hoarder PrC, you can wildshape into a housecat swarm.

So, like this then?
Yes.. I had a party that once elected a chicken as mayor of a township. this is the same party.

If certain players find out about this their will be some character changes.

I wonder if I can convince my Kingmaker group to elect a chicken as head of the kingdom when we get that far.So, like this then?Yes.. I had a party that once elected a chicken as mayor of a township. this is the same party.
You just have to egg them on and don't let your plan run a fowl.

The boss gave me a new guy (new to me) that used to work with Skinny Jeans.
First thing he does is immediately start to snow blow the opposite side of the street that I specifically showed him and Rocko that we would be doing.
So I sent him with Rocko.

Is it a holiday? Seems like the sort of day that should be a holiday.

For over 20 years now, I've been telling everyone who would listen (and even many who wouldn't) to never, ever, ever click links in emails to sign in to web sites, especially sites that store financial or personal information. I even took to filing fraud reports with Chase every time they sent me an email that provided a link for me to sign into my account.
This morning I received what I was sure was an obvious, pathetic phising attempt from the Social Security Organization: "Sign in to see your statement", complete with a link that didn't match the direct access URL. (socialsecurity.gov vs. ssa.gov).
I manually went to ssa.gov, and sure enough, my statement was ready.
Is it any wonder that internet fraud is rampant when, after 25+ years of phishing, banks and government organizations still can't figure out that providing links in emails is a horrible, horrible thing that should never be done?

Aside from my obvious biases about today in particular, I see a case for Inauguration Day to be a federal holiday.

Sounds like Gorbacz's wife in our 2nd edition party. She's leshy bard with Beastmaster archetype feats (which caps at four companions, she has twop so far).
We are finally getting to play again on Sunday.

One of the other crew leaders accidentally grabbed my paperwork instead and noticed a slight detail his had that mine did not.
Instructions and reminders not to forget to clear around fire hydrants, in front of garage doors, front steps, and mailboxes.
He asked the boss "Why doesn't Yesterday have these reminders?" The boss replied "Because they don't apply to him" "Why not?" "Because he never misses them".

The one great thing about teaching from home this week is that my morning video lessons ended in time for me to watch the livestream of the ceremony.
I've been waiting for today since I was ten years old.

Is it political to say let's give it up for our new poet laureate? Because that young woman is amazing.
