  • The former director at our daycare is like this.

    “I’m so upset right now I’m literally throwing up! I need a support system right now.”

    Facebook friend: “do you have a minister you can talk to?”

    “Our minister doesn’t really care for me and (husband) because we lied about how closely related we were until after we were married.”



  • I had this lovely vintage Steelcase short back chair in my industrial themed home office for a while. Then the pandemic hit and working from home started. It didn’t take me a month to get some bad back and leg pain. Now, I have a Steelcase Leap V2 at home and a Herman Miller Aeron in the office. A good chair is so important when you spend a third of your day in it.




  • My first job after I got my BSME was $45k in 2012. I was there until 2017, and left at $62k. Next job started at $72k, left at $76k in 2020. Next job was back at my first company, at $82k. So, my value went up to them 20k in a couple years. I just started a new job last month, left my old place at $96k and started at $115k.

    I want to stay in one place, with coworkers and work that I like. But clearly, you have to keep moving at least every few years to really make anything. I knew guys that had been at that first company for 20+ years. Working with them again at this new place, they got like 50k increases from where they were because they were basically just getting cost of living increases for two decades.



  • When I play Fallout (3, NV, 4), I am a horrific monster. I will stalk NPCs for quite a while, doing my best to stay hidden. I watch them interact with other NPCs. I follow them to a secluded place, and they are mine. It’s always a melee weapon of some kind. First, I feast. If I have Dine and Dash, I’ll always save it for later. Then, I will strip and dismember the remains. If I’m able to ensare multiple targets in a close proximity, I will make a pile before the dismemberment for others to find. Otherwise, I’ll drag them away where nobody will ever find them. Sometimes, if it’s a really good day, it can be entire settlements.
