Toronto had to close a subway station this morning due to beaver: [link]
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good luck with the move, Jen!

What kind of peculiar choices does a beaver have to make to end up in a subway station?
A counterpart in one of my retailers' customer service departments is getting on my nerves. They asked for a replacement lid for an 8 qt stockpot and we are sending a twinpack of a 10" and 12" lid because that is easier than liberating the one lid from a complete set and they are SO CONFUSED because there is no number 8 in that. Obviously, the 8 qt stockpot should have a "size 8" lid. Obviously.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Happy moving day, JenP! May there be no strained backs, pinched fingers, broken glasses or missing pots!

I am trying to get a vaccine appointment for Casper (who becomes eligible next Monday in my state) and I got into the hold queue on my 13th call!
...I've now been on hold for 50 minutes. But I'm hopeful! (I'm not even positive this provider has Pfizer, but I *think* they do.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Got my second shot this morning, woo. No side effects yet, unless I can claim not wanting to work as a side effect.

I got an appointment yesterday for about a month from now. I am taking the whole day as a sick day because why not? I need to get there and get back and who knows how I'll react and I have a lot of sick time I rarely use.

Success! at minute 65 of holding. So, as of May 7 3/4 household members will be fully protected (no vaccines yet approved for under 16, sorry Dillo.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Found out this week that my work is giving employees up to 3 hours off for each shot. Nice. I did mine over a lunch break so no biggie, but I had planned to take a full day for shot #2 and now I won’t. Yay!
