My whole week is screwed up. Today is my first day in the office.
My M-W were normal but I still feel as if I have forgotten how this whole "working" thing is supposed to go. Also, cat on my lap
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What!! I am so spoiled
I mean..."My Mercedes doesn't adjust my seat before I get to the car" is kinda up there with my diamond shoes are too tight.
Good news from sunny San Francisco, Emmett's first gig as an Electrician's Apprentice begins on Monday!
He's excited! I'm excited. Once the fall comes around these beginner gigs will be mixed with electrician classes. I'm going to need to help him get a new car, though.
I made plans with Matilda's bestie, Iris, to come over and do another deep clean/organize on Matilda's bedroom. (It's a paying gig.).
I've got Pilates at noon and then I can faff about.

He's needed this for a while.
In other news about my children, Matilda's able to begin her course selection starting today. So that's exciting too.
Forward movement on both children at the same time!

Our wings are not tired.
Go, Emmett, indeed. A great field with an abundance of opportunities to follow.
I mean..."My Mercedes doesn't adjust my seat before I get to the car" is kinda up there with my diamond shoes are too tight.
Well, yeah. But I deserve better! I'm all about the tech. I am looking forward to the road trip north in the new wheels. It drives like a dream. I have zero complaints about the 5 varieties of seat massages. It is far and away the fanciest thing I have ever owned, and quite a step up from the $75 used '64 Chevy that was my first car.

Go Emmett! Go course selection! If I won the lottery I’d go back to school and take all sorts of random courses.
Laura the lack of dog mode is a shame! Rivian does have dog mode—my friends got one and love that part of it for their dog. It’s totally something I would want in an electric car! The rest I can’t fathom but could see how I’d get used to having it and miss it if I didn’t anymore. What do you do if your phone dies or is broken or lost though, for the Tesla?

You do get a key card like a credit card that will open and start the car. I use that for valet or whatever, or when the phone is dead. My condo requires us to leave a key in case they need to move the car, so they have one of my key cards.

Yes! Awesome!

Me too, wouldn't that be great? I have been toying with the idea of going back to school once I retire but I suspect tuition might be too expensive for that to be practical. The possibility is a ways off, still, so who really knows. Maybe one course a term or something, just whatever takes my fancy

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Just to say hi, and that I'm still alive (now with hosting house #2 to give the family I was staying with a break), and that I still hate this shit. I wrote here a long paragraph on how much I hate this shit, but I apparently hate it so much that I lost all coherence mid writing and it became a long incoherent rant. So that's how things are.
Also, happy birthdays, and good news~ma all around. Love you all.
