Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Better. I am still having issues, but keeping it internal as they are trying.

That's something, at least. I'm glad you got to hold the baby!

Poe, Buffy and Dolly Parton all on the same day. That should make for a good party theme.

Oooh! (Although even though I have seen several references to Edgar Allen Poe today, when I read that, my first thought was Poe Dameron.)

#1 Son was always super delighted that he shared the birthday with Janis Joplin too. He loves her and Dolly as he has taste.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Got my first COVID shot today. Arm's a bit sore, but that's to be expected. I hope that's the worst of it, but I do have tomorrow off, so I can take it easy(ish) if need be.

A welcome addition to the party.

I got through my usual Tuesday stuff and all the email received through yesterday so I'm still a day behind, but only a day behind so that's probably ok.

Oh crap, I forgot Amazon. Dammit.

Whew, my coworker who usually handles Amazon had an outage in place for the holiday and they actually abided by it, so that was easy. Only 45 minutes late quitting work...

I just read the transcript of your interview, Noise. It's pretty moving. Reading about how hard you are working to keep your employees with such reduced revenue is making me even madder at my company, who had a 30%+ increase in revenue and still laid a significant percentage of the workforce off

ND, is there a link to the interview online?
This should give you the whole 1/18 broadcast. I'm near the beginning [link]

If you just want to listen to ND's segment, Dcp helpfully posted it above; here it is again for those who skim as badly as I do usually... [link]

Maaannn, I started my taxes last week because I could (I think something specific became available but I don't actually remember) and I gotup to where I needed my mortgage interest form and went to my mortgagee to get it and they had a little note saying that if that's what you wanted yo could download it on 1/18. I thought about checking yesterday, but holiday so no, but I check just now and now it says I can download it beginning 1/22. If I check on Friday and it says I can get it in February I will, well, I don't know what I'll do but I won't be pleased.
