That's probably better than a $50 bottle of Tequila.
No it's not. Good tequila is good.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

So I had a fun visit with meara, a good swim and I mostly have my work computer working from home. My VPN won't fire up and I'm sure it is a configuration issue (it worked at work from the visitor network!) but now I guess it doesn't like my wireless configs or something.
But I have workarounds (ssh) that are passable, if imperfect and slower. Also, I've used up all the outlets in the livingroom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I won't tell them.
I mentioned my sister was beating my ass at Scrabble? Now she's beating it worse. I suck.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just called out a Northwestern J-school senior over a factual error in an article. I hope he is properly ashamed since the first link on a simple google search would have prevented the error.
eta: And I already have a response!
My goodness, you're absolutely correct. We'll fix this!

Oh god, the forecast has gone from 16-20 to 18-24". And it's coming in earlier. Maybe if it is faster it'll leave sooner?

I used to be good at Scrabble. But she has a huge number of online games under her belt against tough opponents and a 60% win ratio, and I have played once in the past six months. I start out strong, but 3/4 of the way through she pops out the 7-letter words and whoosh!

She's gotten two seven letter words on triple word tiles in one game. How is this fun for me?

OK, I've totally made up the hour I needed to doing work (ok, configuring shit) but I'm not tired. Hope I wake up to call into the meeting and justify staying home tomorrow. I could totally go in an leave when it started getting bad, but this is an experiment, damnit! To see if I can. I already know the vpn is daid, ssh is reeeaaaal slow with the ssh and I can't bring up the dev system without vpn. Call it good?

I've decide I will lose most of the time. I am better tahn I used to be. I have 7 games going on . so I compete against my self -- trying to do better than the last word. I have won a few games.
