Our wings are not tired.

Canine gastrointestinal badness ain't no sunshine and laughter event.

I caught up and did a lot of nodding of the head and stuff.

Strix, what they all said. Well done.

Also, lots of nose~ma for Consuela.

Watching the Dems debate. It is not a great debate. Good on both of them for calling the mods on bullshit questions.

Sorry the swim was unsatisfying, sara. No doubt better than if you had skipped it though.

Swim was fine, helpful even, I just feel so weird.

Understandable. Stress takes a real toll.

Sorry about all the stress sarameg.

Kato is having gastrointestinal badness, which means a trip to the V-E-T hopefully tomorrow.

Poor Kato. Hope he starts feeling better soon. Kato is a good name for a dog. I should have named our lesser dane Kato and trained him to attack me at random.

I was an unequivocal voice in an insurrection I knew would have casualties if it succeeded, some which affect me professionally and personally (one is going to be spectacularly bad unless we find an alternate solution.) Still believe it was right and serves the best interests of most individuals and the work culture as a whole, but oof. I hate the position those coworkers and friends are in. Solutions are way above my pay grade and skill set, but I want one found, will be respectful of their uneven status until it's fixed and will try to make up for the bs as much as in my power. If I get the job.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I should have named our lesser dane Kato and trained him to attack me at random.

That's who our Kato is named after! (Or, alternatively, Kato from the Green Hornet, because he's Tim's sidekick.)

However, our Kato does not jump out and randomly attack us.

A former neighbor wondered if it was Cato with a C, after the philosopher. I said no, that if we were going to name a dog after a philosopher, we couldn't pass up the chance to name him Heidegger.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

One of my cats just raced into the room meowing so insistently that I had to ask, "What is it Rosie, is Timmy in the well?" Her response was to plop down and start giving herself a bath. Sorry, Timmy.

Well, somehow I managed to pry myself out of bed and get out the door before 5:30m, so I guess I'm going to the office today.
