This is fun. I can't remember the last time I had hiccups..

I'm not saying we should coordinate an effort to buy a large number of rubber chickens and have them sent to M-a-L, but....

I regularly tell people, "You cannot pour from an empty vessel. Fill your own cup first."

Today I realized how empty my own cup has been. Going to take some time to fill mine.

If you do have to be on the road today, bring your patience with you. Find your calm center. Other people will not. Plan accordingly for things up to twice as long to get somewhere.

And really, if you can avoid going significant distance, consider just not going. It may seem like just one less car on the road, but even that can be helpful...and keep you safe.

Holiday weekends almost always see a significant spike in vehicle fatalities. Don't become a statistic.

Friday before a holiday weekend is always bad for traffic. I'm thankful I'm allowed to work from home on a day like today. Looks like rush hour started "early" today, and is not likely to end until well into the evening.

Yes, that's right, all day.

Work and avoid unnecessary stress.

Nowhere to run
It's all undone.
Everything burns. Everything burns.

I'll watch you fall down.
I'll drag you face down.
Everything burns. Everything Burns.

Part of why I love working where I do. We are having an intelligent and respectful conversation about why cell phone service at the facility varies and it frequently poor, especially during operations hours. I love working around intelligent people.

Me controlling my fingers not to call out or be snarky at a work AAPI "trivia contest". Yes, I have real issues at whyte people appropriation, and this reeks of it.

So instead, I just don't participate and go about my work.

Today's work is complex, but not daunting. Feeling good about making progress on something hard and somewhat new to me. But my previous skills have come in handy and I'm making a lot of progress on my own. Working a little extra to see if I can get this done today.

That will teach me.

Tried 2 different local new to me places. Both told me multiple items were no longer on the menu. Neither place looked like it was going to survive much longer.

So back to my favorite local hibachi place.

Any industry that will praise someone like Butker while still demonizing someone like Kaepernick will get ZERO support from me. Fuck the NFL and it's bullshit.

And while it's a cold, rainy, miserable kind of day here today, I did get a bonus piece of chicken today. Maybe it was because I was the only customer wearing a mask in the store. Maybe the person just liked me. I could see they did that intentionally, and I just nodded and said nothing more than "thank you".

One way to make me delete your game is to give me a mission, tell me to go to a place in the game, no direction, time limit, and every conceivable path blocked somehow with no way around. 20 minutes to try to get past it and it's been all slamming into walls.

Nope, I'm out.

I love this ruling from Indiana where "Tacos are sandwiches." The ruling even opens up other ethnic sandwich-style foods to be served. I get the idea of keeping fast food out of the area, and made to order sandwiches are okay. Better these than another "big chain sandwich shop".
