sorry about yesterday. Time escaped me. Today looks busy during the day too, and then we're actually plopping Max with a sitter to see a movie. Wednesday continue?

Fine by me. Not sure what Rahne's up to then 😉 But we will get to it sooner or later so no worries

I gave Kerri some insight into Siv's brain for entertainment purpose

waves Morning.

HI

How are you?

Fun academic drama: turns out my advisor screwed up (and I didn't think to double-check him), and I'm still three credits shy of qualifying for candidacy for PhD. Emails are flying all over the place about how to resolve this -- I'm hoping they won't make me take another class -- and my dissertation is on-hold until they can make me official. It's always an adventure.

So, how am I = discouraged and annoyed.

But I've got a snow day. Woo.

Oy! I'm so sorry! That is a gut punch

but yes, at least snow day?

At least that, yes.

Hey, Shady.

aw, hi Rahne. Meeting in 15 min

Hey, Rae. No worries.

Hey! WFH rules.

No pants?

Pants and a teeshirt, no makeup, doing laundry and carnitas-prep with cat and dog office mates.

AND... I get to write about cool stuff and call it work.

Rahne - I rolled a d100 to see what the odds were that they would get interrupted, and it hit 100

I mean... I try not to feel guilting b/c I don't hate my job? I already retired once, this is a retirement job, right? So it's ok if I love it?

You're forgiven 😉

AH

Fuck

Best of all possible worlds, Shady!

Okay. Sorry about misunderstanding

if i need to roll for Rikki

/roll 7

Perfect, Mr. D.

And meeting for Rae 😉

I still don't have access to my stats, so can somebody give me a suggestion about what I should roll for the cantrip? Awaken, Fae-Commoner.

Right, no worries.

I think you're looking at 6 or 7

Cool.

(Side note: We went to a water park on Sunday, we had free tix. I got too much sun. We left the house in our swimsuits of course, but Thing1 had to make a stop before we got to the park. We had to hit a nearby Tar-jay for a new suit and sunshirt. Seems his old suit was, ah, binding in places he didn't need or want to be bound. Ahem. My baby boy......)

The cruelest cuts of all

Ha! I remember that stage of parenting.

I remember that stage of being a guy

Ha!

He's applied for his first job. He graduates HS 23 May. He doesn't have a driver's license yet.....

Generational differences.

What job is he looking for?

AFK -- dealing with university.

BSA Summer camp staff. He'd do a month if he gets all the weeks he said he was available for and then an extra 5th week there to staff National Youth Leadership Training again.
