  Jorge is doing super kitty biscuits on my blanket again so I asked if Santa needed to bring him one of his own for Christmas. His face... "Is this not my blanket already?" Maybe I need to ask for another one.

  I will never understand why there is so much resistance to training people for the work you want them to do. Today I literally had to say out loud, “Why are the automation testers not deserving of proper training to do their job?” I know they’ve never used the software and I don’t expect them to be experts, but FFS, give them enough training to have some foundational knowledge so I don’t have to say, “Step 1, Log into the software.”

  Very bummed to read about Patrick Stewart's passing. Time to put on A Christmas Carol.

  Seeing a clip of the president waving his arms and bloviating on with no audio because there is no pool reporter and therefore no microphone is one the funnier things I've seen in a while. Can we just keep it this way?

  So, seems introductions are part of the protocol here, and that's not a bad idea at all. I'm a middle aged gal, QC Engineer, love my cat and Padres and Orioles baseball. I also enjoy writing, drawing, and needlework. And this is Lily! #introductions #cats #photos #Padres #Orioles #writing #drawing #needlework

  OK, so Sean has a bendy straw and he's also playing with it on the packing paper, and he's basically just happily losing his mind over there. He paused for a photo. 😻

  Maybe if I sit here and type it out, I'll figure it out. For my salads, I've got greens, carrots, onions, sweet peppers, cheese, croutons, & jerk pork if I want to chop that up for protein. For not-salads, lots of jerk pork, little steak & stout pies, and empanadas. Tortillas, croissants, and english muffins to make anything a taco or sandwich. Plus fixings for egg-sausage mcmuffins. We're good on sweet treats. Good on Cokes. COFFEE. I need coffee for Monday.

  Lately, it feels like a lot of technology is utter shit, because it is. But you know what tech I really love? Digital photography. Whether from an actual camera or my phone. Cause down at the beach I took just shy of 900!! photos. Never had to worry about wasting film, or the cost of developing it, or waiting two weeks after getting home only to find everything was blurry. We did very well on that bit of technological advancement.

  And some of the deer family that was on our street all week stopped by to say bye this morning.

  They're finally doing a study focusing on women with ADHD and how their menstrual cycle affects their ADHD and the efficacy of their meds. This could help so many. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czj8zp9e084o

  Do I know about the cyclospora outbreak because I am just Online Too Much? Because I am at the taco bar having a snack and a woman just came up and ordered a caesar salad. 😳 Is this not being communicated well in traditional/mainstream media?

  I left money for our friend Will and he said it was too much and I said too bad, it's what we'd spend at the kennel and the kennel doesn't send pics like this: #Caturday

  Jorge is a helper kitty. This morning, I was having a very odd and disconcerting dream just before my alarm was to go off. Jorge thought to himself, "That dream is upsetting her. I will wake her up." And he did. By barfing. About 8 inches from my head.

  Any day is a good day to opt out of capitalism when you can. Bit rude that the mortgage company still took the money today, but I'm not counting that, because I put it in my check register yesterday. I wished everyone a Happy Workers Day on LinkedIn, because I am an agent of chaos. (Not really, but it sounds cool, doesn't it?)

  Pizza Hut has brought back it's Book It! summer reading program for kids, and I am very happy for all of them, but was a little bummed that it's only for kids. Then I remembered I am adult with free will and I can do my own Book It and I have decided that every time I finish a book, I get a personal pan pizza. I also reserve the right to switch out the pizza for any other fun food.

  @jeridansky It was really fun, and I have met my quota for socializing for a good month, LOL.

  And it's always great to have those folks that ask, "So what have you been up to?" and you can respond with, "Well, I'm developing quite the interest and appreciation for arson!" and they nod with a big smile instead of being horrified.

  Oh, and in this particular pic, you can see how ridiculously awesome his little inner ear fringes have gotten since he got here. He had a little bit of fringe in the early days, but they have gotten adorably out of control.

  Yes, taking today off was a Very Good Idea. It was a half day Friday anyway, but because I have a noon appointment, I would have had to start the day extra early and after being up very late acting like I was 20 years younger - the sleep in was excellent.

  I don't know who might need to know this, but I'm gonna put it out there just in case. If you're going to be playing flaming bottle toss, you need to score the outside of the bottle a bit - otherwise it's gonna land with an unsatisfying *thunk* instead of a delightfully sparkly clattering of bits.

  @jeridansky Very possibly, but also very likely, "I don't want you to forget I am here and may need treats soon" 😻

  It seems that Sean going to the basement to holler at him about breakfast, and then sending Jorge up on the bed to physically hassle him is Sean being a bully and Jorge being Sean's toadie. Personally, I love seeing the teamwork.

  So, yesterday I heard a phrase about ADHD that I’d never heard before: “Everything is a task, nothing is a habit.” And damn, that totally explains why my brain is always all tired. Between having to actively think about every task throughout a day, and task initiation being a bitch and a half, my brain is just fighting itself all day. I can get some shaky routines going, but I still have to actively think about all the tasks within that routine. Universe did some shit QC on human brains.

  Everything may be terrible, but tonight was my fantasy baseball draft. And that means we have gotten through winter on this side of the equator and summer is coming. 🥰
