2023 calling card is updated AGAIN! And is still obnoxiously pink.

#7BooksToKnowMe
Guns of Avalon, Roger Zelazny
Dune, Frank Herbert
Leviathan Wakes, James SA Corey
Take a Thief, Mercedes Lackey
Witches Abroad, Terry Pratchett

I guess this is more 7 authors to know me, because I love everything written by all of these authors.

#Introductions
I'm Lillith.
I came here from Twitter. Before that, I was a lost Google+ exile.
I am middle-aged GenXer.
I am a twin.
I'm interested in almost everything!
You can expect me to post mostly about cats, rock'n'roll music, fantasy and science fiction books and media, weather, geology, tabletop RPGs, video games, health, and work.

I dig learning.

It's currently 73°F/23°C. Time to put away the extra blankets and sweaters?
#SierraNevada

I want more of #TheExpanse.

SNEEZY.

Now that I'm up and the cat has moved to the foot of the bed! Today I'm listening to:

It's super hard to get up and out of bed when it's 32F and the cat is purring under the blankets.

I have noticed that the higher one is on the corporate totem pole, the more likely it is that one will Reply-All with weird, low quality GIFs, usually with glitter or cute animals.

This is my fourth day off in a row and I should be relaxed but all I can think about is the work piling up and needing to be done.

Today's amusing but grim software transcription error:

"...will continue to fester until the signed settlement document is returned."

pester her, not fester.

Although I think fester works.

Today's software transcription error:

"Right shoulder mutilation under anesthesia..."

It's manipulation. MANIPULATION. Not mutilation. Gosh.

Our manager wants us, the twintroverts, having been fully remote for the last 3? years? to drive 140 miles round trip for a crowded, noisy, office holiday party in a bowling alley, despite both of us having positive COVID tests.

NO. NOT GONNA DO IT.

Although Villainous Lill kind of wants to go to infect everyone else and hijack the jukebox at the bowling alley to play nothing but K-Pop.

Today's software transcription error: "requested" became "request dead" and that seems rather sinister.

Super sleepy today, probably owing to the faint second line on the Nose Stick of Doom test.

I'm streaming at twitch.tv/sullivantwins to make #IBDVisible and support Gaming4Guts' 9th annual charity event! I'll be talking #IBDAwareness as a caregiver for your edification and dying in #LeagueOfLegends for your entertainment.

Crazy Form by Ateez is stuck in my head this morning.

Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Week starts tomorrow! I will be streaming at http://twitch.tv/sullivantwins after 3:30 PM Friday to support my twin with Ulcerative Colitis, my friends in Gaming4Guts and
the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation
with my Tiltify campaign: https://tiltify.com/@lilithiel/gaming4guts2023.

I'll also be losing my mind over Ateez's new release and Crazy Form music video BECAUSE I'M SO EXCITED I LITERALLY CAN'T EVEN ADULT.

Prediction: the normally diurnal legal secretary of tomorrow morning will curse at the insomniac/nocturnal Lillith form of tonight.

Fuck you, 6 AM Lill, I'm awake now.

If the winter weather doesn't interfere, let there be LOLs.

Starting 12/01, I'm supporting Gaming4Guts' 9th Annual Gaming Marathon for Crohn's & Colitis Awareness Week/IBD Awareness because my twin has IBD and there's no cure.

I invite you to keep me company on Twitch, or if you're a LoL player, I invite you to repeatedly mop the floor with my newbie champion for a good cause.

I updated my resume to add some new software proficiencies as ammunition and I feel good about it.

I also dropped my first two employers off the list because I don't think anyone cares that I used to work retail over 30 years ago.

I'M SO OLD.

Has anyone successfully gone to their employer with an offer of higher salary from another employer and gotten a raise as a result? Or do they just show you the door?
