    Elaienar "sorta spooky"

    Bad: Asked dad to bring home six bags of large tortillas but he brought home eight bags of small tortillas and one bag of medium ones instead.
    Good: I may not be able to do what I wanted to with smaller tortillas but I have three more bags than I asked for and I love tortillas.

    Secret Squirrel certainly something

    bad news: me being too tired to make a proper meal and too hungry to wait for food is becoming annoyingly frequent, leading to decisions such as "what is a sandwich? sounds complicated. here eat this thing that requires no prep"

    good news: today's no prep thing was 3 mandarin oranges, and I feel more capable of making an additional food item for nutrition (possibly a sandwich)

    I do CNC programming / machining of prototypes for a startup medical device company. The sad thing is that headcount was recently reduced and a couple engineers I've been happily working with have been let go. The happy thing is that now the remaining engineers are a bit overloaded and the boss gave me engineering projects. It makes for a heavier workload to do this on top of my machining duties, but I like doing engineering and it's good on a resume.

  13. nobodyspeak

    nobodyspeak put me to your lips

    Am still depressed, and someone I love dearly in California (who is visibly latina too) is currently homeless. Just argh.

    But today I'm going to see Wonder Woman with the housemate. We'd planned to see it as a matter of principle, vote with our money for a woman-directed woman-starring summer blockbuster movie, yanno? And now I also hear it's pretty awesome. So I am actually kind of almost excited.

    Good news: the no is only for now. So it might very well be that I take a 90 year old man to Dublin later this year :D

    Good news: kitty is getting less lethargic and is probably getting over her URI!

    Bad news: this means she is more able to wiggle and protest when we have to give her her medicine, so she keeps managing to get it everywhere except in her mouth :T

    winterykite Non-newtonian genderfluid

    Bad News: My tablet needed to be sent in for repair due to charging issues. I'm on my 8 year old netbook with a 4 year unsupported OS (can't switch to a higher version because hardware and drivers), everything is laggy, 70% of stuff plain doesn't work (Gifs? Discord? Skype? Google Drive? Youtube? Ahahhahaa good joke).

    Good news: Even though the guarantee was voided due to a visible small as fuck blemish from a drop and three keys having popped off, both of which are entirely unrelated to the issue of the fucked charging jack and battery, I don't have to pay for repair because I shelled out an extra 80€ to insure it. Because I know myself, and that's what happened to my last proper laptop.

    3 weeks to go...
