I haven't posted much lately, but, in my defense, I'm very very tired

@mikey @NickGates so far on the list of things Bridget wants to do I've managed half an episode of the Simpsons and a couple of pages of my book.

Not bad for 4pm when there is a 2 year old involved

3 none p1 mentions on #GreatestGen

I guess what my question presupposes is maybe I can now be classified as a running bit?

Listening to co-workers complaining about how their garden is too big and that it takes too long to do the gardening.

Other co-workers talking about multiple foreign holidays they take.

Meanwhile I'm trying to decide if I can afford a large pizza tonight.

Btw, some of these co-workers are the ones who told me they take the good food from the donation box and replace it with smaller cheaper stuff.

Just watched Wayne's World and my Q I forgot how good that movie is. It's also connected to so many childhood memories of making skate videos with my friends.

I just wish I didn't have work in the morning so I could watch Wayne's World 2.

@mikey look, I keep telling you. It's not that we don't get the reference, you just can't say Schwing whenever hot people walk passed.

@mikey
Barkley : it's not a problem admiral we just just need to power it with 1.28 gigawatts

Janeway: great Scott! I can't believe the power requirements for time travel are so low. Just plug it into the warp core, I can run this off a shuttle.

It's only taken 5 months but I finally finished my first sewing project in this year's theme.

My fist attempt to fit distressed sci-fi into work wear is what I call Skywalker chic. It's made from a viscose cotton blend (and a black linen waist band) and so is breathable and the pleats allow a more comfortable air barrier while also evoking jedi robes.

Design for the sands of Tatooine and the poorly climate controlled office.

A side view of the blouse without the blaser, it is sleeveless and has a black waistband.

When enjoying a movie marathon it is important to take breaks and go for a walk in the fresh air. And while you are out there takes some pictures for #bloomscrolling

The blossom from the trees may have passed but the daisies and buttercups are colouring every grass verge

Well if this isn't the most depressingly dystopian this I've read in a long time.

Tldr: to fill gaps in your skill base don't hire new people get the people that work there already to do it. There's talk of "up skilling" and training but not of extra compensation for extra work or paying people in line with their new skills. There is however talk of "AI" for some reason.

In my house, there is a door in the kitchen that goes to the basement stairs. We put a cat door in it, and a fancy one at that. It has switches so that you can control which directions the cats can move. We needed this because our 3-year-old cat Janet wants to play, and 8-year-old Phoebe does not, so Janet ends up in time out to give Phoebe a break. It took Janet MONTHS to figure out the door as a concept. This week she figured out the switches and time-out is no more.

@night_chrono what you can do is get a cat flap that has a magnetic key and lock on it.

We got one for our cat years ago so she could get into her food while we were away and the neighbourhood cats couldn't.

If you put the key only on one cats collar then only that can pass into a break room.

Unless Janet works out magnetism

So it turns out that most everyone that works on my contract is in their 20's. Occasionally a song will come on the radio that they consider old and they all start talking about how they used to listen to it as children.

Then they try to engage me in their conversation and I feel ancient.

Update: i referenced the movie Titanic and was told that they hadn't seen it because it was made before they were born.

The world would be shocked to find that I was once the young woman in the drawing.

@mikey so I'm not just old, the whole crew of the hood is old.

I think it's time I just give into my age and, in true trek fashion, conduct dangerous experiments with suspiciously young and attractive assistants.

@mikey @rmhogervorst wait, so is that why the phaser grilled targ that I cooked in the Intermix chamber tasted like omega particles?

Bridgemakes,
@Bridgemakes@friendsofdesoto.social avatar

@mikey @rmhogervorst well it would be unsafe to cook food with phasers anywhere else.

God, dealing with toffs gets so exhausting. If you're from a country without a real class system thank your god given liberty or the guillotine.

At least my work day is done and I can finally try and decompress by catching up on disco
