There is only one light source, and that is where I looked.
I hope it flew back out the window, but moths arenāt that smart.

Through years of careful observation, I have ascertained that moths are intradimensional. It must have slipped to another plane of existence when you stepped away.

My experience: Steve loves cats and dogs and any animals and takes in rescues from the shelter. Heās ok with mental illness and will sit with you at the hospital in the waiting room however long it takes, even on Christmas. He sometimes finds life too much to deal with and needs a place to crash for awhile, not because he doesnāt have a place, but because he needs people around so he doesnāt get too lost in the darkness in his head. He became a firefighter and an EMT and basically spends his entire life rescuing people when he isnāt rescuing animals.
But heās cranky and ornery as fuck. Often you get the āget off my lawn you stupid kids!ā vibe from him even though heās about 50-60 years too young for that. If you just met him, youād probably think heās a total asshole. He can be very argumentative and has very strong opinions. But thereās a heart of gold inside.

The only Steve I knew was at work. He was a slacker who did zero work. How he kept his job is a mystery (even in the US fed. gov. you can get fired, contrary to common opinion; it just takes a long time).

Mine just gave up and sits on the couch with me. But the partner is signing up for the same gym I have a membership at (from work) and since it is between our respective work places, we intend to start going in the morning before work.
Maybe this will work.

So, Iām cancelling a job interview tomorrow because if I get the job, I wonāt have an easy way to get there, since itās near a bus line.
That darn Catch-22. (hey wasnāt that a movieā¦or am I crossing āCatch-22ā with āThat Darn Cat!ā, lol?)

Last weekend my AC broke again. Different issue: the fan on the air exchange I just had installed last February broke late last week. Iāve been informed that it may have broken the rooftop unit I just had repaired a couple of months ago, but thereās no way to tell until the fan is replaced.
So Friday morning I had one guy confirm it was the fan, and arranged for a replacement to be couriered. The fan was delivered, and a second repair person showed up in the afternoonā¦ only to tell me itās the wrong fan.
So now I have to spend a humid weekend with no AC, and endure a third visit, which will hopefully conclude with a fixed fan and a not-broken rooftop unit.

A scrapper stole my garage/yard sale sign, mounted on an old folding lawn chair. Itās pretty obvious from the street that I am indeed having a garage/yard sale. But they didnāt yell āHey!ā or anything; I did see and hear them, but thought they were prospective customers, just looking at my wares from the street.
But nope, they thought it was scrap. Even though I have another sign, mounted on a steel shepherdās/gardening hook. Even though it had an 11" x 17" sign that said āGARAGE/YARD SALEā on it in blue and green crayon.
WTF is this world coming to when the poor steel from the poorer? They were driving a HUGE late-model Ford 4x4 pickup! Fucking BALLS on some folks.

Get to work.
Open office door.
Immediately hear a sound that is in the āBad Soundā category when dealing with computers. Not so much grind my gears, but grind my platters.
Everything is backed up, but now that meansā¦bringing down my system for maintenance and seeing if the drive is under warranty or not, getting all the data back locally, blah, blah, blah.

I have meetings in two distant locations today- a pain in the ass. No choice but to be present for both sets of meetings in both locations.
Fine.
I drag a bike in to location 1 so I can ride to location 2 (and back) today. Itāll be way faster (and better for me) than taking the subway and walking.
Oh, whatās that? Severe thunderstorms today? Sure. Great.
So now Iām trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B without being soaked/dead/hours behind schedule.
Awesome.

I know youād prefer to ride, but a taxi might be the best option, especially if your employer is willing to pay for it.

My employer will not (ever) pay for a taxi. Nope. Not a chance.
Iām hoping I can snag a ride to the subway- thatāll mostly solve the later trip. I think the earlier ride will be ok (minus it being a trillion degrees here).

Any chance it would work (for next time) for your employer to see you walk in, soaking wet, with all their documentation and electronics just as wet?

Nope!
I imagine Iād be spoken to about the need to look professional.
That kind of a place.
