The level of collective – and unabashedly verbalized – incompetence in this office is beyond staggering. Sort of like, "I've been to the edge of space. Ain't nothing there but... more space." [thousand-yard stare]

Great fun hangout and gaming day. Diner breakfast with a sweet drink. Then – finally, now that they've been open a couple years – got to the games cafe downtown; it's an absolute marvel. Coffee drinks, snack-tray lunch, played Mille Bornes and Trogdor!! The Board Game (!!). #Gaming #LNK

It is not my nominal function to send "You must be new here" emails to providers, but I can do this (recite relevant chapters of the state administrative code) all day.

Still thinking about our madcap gaming session last night. The whole group was rolling so many Advantages and very, very few Successes that it just turned into... how to describe it? My net runner was in a slap fight with a scientist dual wielding syringes, and neither of us could land a blow. When we finally got to "let's blow this thing and go home!" it was a blessed relief. #ShadowOfTheBeanstalk #Genesys #TTRPG

Just watched a three-minute video from the CEO of my administrative department and somehow managed to fill five Bullshit Business Buzzword Bingo cards at once.

Cool cool cool. "Precision agriculture has greatly increased the yield of farms, and a 2023 report by the US Department of Agriculture noted that more than 50 percent of corn, cotton, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and winter wheat are planted and harvested with 'automated guidance.'" https://www.404media.co/solar-storm-knocks-out-tractor-gps-systems-during-peak-planting-season/ #Agriculture #SolarStorm

Gaming group is shifting into 13th Age fairly soon, so I am crafting a Wood Elf occultist who's packing some devious magic and can also mess you up with a long sword. Not exactly sure what I'm trying to get out of my system, but there seems to be a trend forming here. #13thAge #TTRPG

Shadow of the Beanstalk: Arce, my liberated enby clone freelancer, spent an off-camera night partying with The Contessa and her entourage. I mean, good on them for sampling what the world has to offer, but I'm worried about how this will come up again. Because surely it will. Anyway, we're set for the next Big Heist.

Many things about Nebraska’s welfare system are hard to understand, Sen. John Cavanaugh said. This is not one of them. "This is about getting money to kids." https://flatwaterfreepress.org/whose-money-nebraskans-not-state-will-keep-more-child-support-under-bill-nearing-passage/ #NEPol #TANF

I made a request of Prod Support that turns out to involve hard coding changes. They responded with an 18-point questionnaire; from my POV, the answers are largely, "I don't know shit about fuck."

My new "other duties as assigned" is to hound the ever-loving shit out of people who add pointless complexity to my workload until they stop fucking doing that. Furthermore, all info dumps directed at me will be returned as undeliverable.

Today I bought a Tank Girl print, a graphic novel with custom cover art, and some kickass enamel pins from Jim Mahfood. Then he signed my Grrl Scouts trades and Clerks. (The Comic Book). Definitely glad to have made the trip. #PlanetComicon

I feel valued as an employee when my supervisor sends me an invite for a meeting – one which appears to have been scheduled specifically to address a topic on which I have already written several paragraphs – with the comment, "Do you remember what this is about?"

Be right back, finally teaching my dog to say, "I love you." #LeapDay

Tracy Jordan (played by Tracy Morgan) in the TV show 30 Rock stands in a dark wood-paneled office, wearing a blue windbreaker jacket and gold chain over a black shirt with a yellow crewneck, and saying, "Nothing is impossible on Leap Day." (The dialogue appears in a caption.)
