The weird one-week period is baaaaaack! It’s going to be a four-hour difference between the UK and EST until next weekend, which coincidentally is when I’ll be back home in NYC!

Also it 100% is Sunday here in London. I just have a very messed up overall sleep schedule (not caused by jet lag)

Finally made it home from the hospital last night and I am still just plum wore out, even with 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Hope y'allve had a great week and have a good weekend!

Whelp, I'm 40hrs away from my trip to Ireland with no solid plans beyond the work conference I need to go to. I have a rental car reserved and am trying to build myself up to driving on the opposite side of the road! Hoping to put together an actual travel plan with hotel reservations during the 4 day conference. Wish me luck ya'll!

It’s bad enough they split into a hundred pieces trying to remove them, but I swear they all use a stronger and more cleaning resistant adhesive than any other industrial use sticker. This may be the last time I ever buy anything wood or even faux wood from Ross, because this shit sucks, it’s right on the front, and there’s no clean way to remove it without potentially damaging the item in question. End rant.

Hope y’all are having a fantastic day.

I’m not about it, but I did offer to save these folks some hotel money after coming up this way. Buddies from school years ago that are driving to the area for a different event but want to stop by and visit over the weekend. I’m sweating because the place is in a state of flux with projects going on (painting, etc) and the guest room while clean is very barebones. I don’t think I’m as not-put-together as I worry I’m gonna convey lol.

I’m so worried about so many people right now! I have friends and family in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. I hate anxiety!! At least I know my kid is safe tonight.

For those affected by the storm, my prayers are with you!

Yall, my job is just a sinking ship. They're cutting people's hours, but hiring positions we don't need that get paid more then the people they're cutting.

It's bonkers logic. But at least it's almost the weekend!

How are yall?

I hope Otters in the panhandle are doing ok leading into the main event tomorrow! I feel like we just went through this with Idalia last year and with Debbie last month.

It is a game that broadcasted on espn from the clip you are able to see the logo in the corner. The game was utah state vs utah university, it was the last second minute of the third quarter and the score was tied 13 - 13. There was a flag on the play personal foul call for a tripping penalty. I am unsure of the referees name but the coach shown on screen seems to be kyle wittingham. The clip in at the 3:15 mark in the youtube video. for some reason reddit being weird and won’t let me hyperlink it but here is the link for the video

It’s that time of year again

Glad I can use my partners car until Monday to get it check out :/

How has y'all week been?

We are undergoing a huge re-org at work and I’m happy to report I’m finally getting back into teaching! I’ve missed it so much and was so unhappy in my admin position. I’m glad my last two years before retirement will be good ones.

Still trying to figure out what’s going on with this cyst but feeling okay about the direction of my treatment plan.

And I finally bought a new (to me) vehicle. It’s a 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE and I love it!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I've been on reddit for 12 years now

I was watching The Bachelorette's finale, which was SO GOOD, and I accidently stepped on one of my cats, he ran away, and my other cat attacked me.

Now I have cat scratches on me, and it's bruising :| At least I know that they'll protect each other which is sweet.

How are y'all today?

Today’s Ol’ Reliable is the Long Island Rail Road. Yes, it’s spelled “rail road” with the space and all. Except I hate how it only runs every half hour by my house. That’s a huge reason as to why I’m planning to move within the next few years (that and I can’t stand the building I live in)

Howdy! I'm two days into this new job, and I'd forgotten how slow the corporate world is! A year and change in the startup world, and I'm so accustomed to checking Teams/emails immediately upon waking up, and staying up late to work. Moving back to a normal 9-5 rather than a 10-8/9/10/midnight schedule has been weird, but I'm getting back into the hang of going to bed by 12:30 and waking up at a much more reasonable hour.

It's so strange to still be waiting for database access and SSMS on my machine, two days in, and the IT guys had no idea when I'd be ready to go.
