Borat voice my wives

*me whispering to date when Grond comes on screen* that's grond

perhaps a restorative nog before retiring

the solution seems to be switching off "Show in column" for "Poll results" on the notifications preferences; there seems to be no way of saying "I want them, but not stickied to the top"

poll closing notifications now stick to the top and break chronological order of notifications, eh?

Just got settled into a recumbent position on the couch, and serendipitously got the aftermarket laptop power supply right under the ol' sciatic

I recall thinking several times, while reading in the car on the way home, about how I really should have gotten my sunglasses out of pocket before I sat down

the best part about my ocular migraines are the parts where I only realize I've been having them for several hours already

and, like, the humidity had dropped, there was no wind, and the air had a marvelous feel irrespective of the medicinal quantities of bourbon. Took a walk on a dirt road in laaaaaaate twilight with the dog. Very nice evening.

staying home waiting for a stranger to arrive several hours late and come into my house and tinker with its vitals has destroyed my ability to human temporarily

he was here long enough that I got to blow off the rest of the workday, so I am back to enjoying myself

he finally arrived and I had to turn the whole system on, and so:

slightly more annoyed, at this point

I am torn between being annoyed that I am being stood up for my appointment and enjoying not being able to go into work yet

year 1 of this job: schedule all personal appointments for 7:30 am or 4:30pm

year 4: "whoops, got a guy coming to the house at 11 am, see you sometime after that"
