Fandom, engineering, life. Been around a hot minute. There’s probably going to be a significant number of dog photos, so consider that your warning.

The thing I can't stop thinking about re: Heated Rivalry is repeated takes and/or different angles and how that means it was no small amount of focused exercise they were getting filming some of those scenes and I definitely don't mean the hockey

I'm having heart palpitations just from the gifs of ep 4. I don't think I can watch any actual scenes until I can watch all of S1 😅

a crew is inspecting our Shoreline Storage Tunnel today, foot by foot, as it is nearing the end of construction in 2026.
it is almost 3 miles long.
it runs 70-140 feet underground.
it is lined with 14,000 one-foot-thick concrete segments.
it will control 350 million gallons of sewage a year.

Buckle in, we’re doing Romance 101 - Heated Rivalry edition. This is for all the folks showing their ignorance about what Heated Rivalry is doing. Note: Very little of this is my original thoughts. These things are Known.

Ran a mid-afternoon errand and am thinking I should maybe see the sun in person more than once or twice a week

Work tasks and deadlines are trying their damnedest (however you spell it) to go fully off the rails and I can say with confidence I'm not a fan of that kind of thing.

The list of stuff that absolutely has to be done by tomorrow morning is doable*, just painful. Currently fantasizing about a) Christmas to New Years break and b) incoming minions finally being in place and trained.

Okay, better news. I've eaten (critical step one) and finished the f*cking draft text. There's a lot of placeholders for numbers and images, and I don't have an executive summary yet, but at least the rest of it has *something*. Calling it a win.

The bad news is this report draft is in no way getting finished tonight. The good news is I made significant progress. The other bad news is I've no food prepped for the week and also I'm starving. Any other conclusions should definitely wait until after I've eaten.

Update! Choco protein was a bit chalky, but I'd planned to add a banana so that will likely help. The choco and macadamia both needed more sweetener so they both got their sugar doubled. The rice milk is naturally sweeter, so it was fine, but both it and macadamia got another tsp. of chia seeds.
Now, because I've annoyed myself beyond my own tolerance for the day already, a couple good things. First, the room Thing1 and Thing2 were banned from was the kitchen while I started an overnight oats experiment. (Descriptions are in the alt text in this case.)

"We never know how high we are 'til we are called to rise", "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?", "Into the valley of death rode the six hundred", "only this and nothing more", "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree"...
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

So anyway, despite all my crankiness last week, I did actually have a good conversation with a new PM I'll be working closely with the upcoming year. Turned out she not only didn't know my colorful backstory, she thought I was ~35, so I started, then realized I had to restart further back in time 😂

One of the particularly nice things about new fandoms is you find people you lost track of across some platform change or another

After both barking their fool heads off, then Tavi having a meltdown over the neighbors' yard decorations (again), then Tavi snapping at Kenna, they were both banned to another room for a very peaceful 20 minutes or so. Miraculously, the time out worked and we have achieved some degree of chill.

Some dogs get very sweet and comforting when their owners' are stressed and in a bad mood. Then there's Tavi the Anti-Therapy Dog (TM) whose lil anxiety meter ticks up because Vibes so he's gonna be extra annoying. Kenna, who thrives on mischief, thinks this is great fun.

It's the darkest 4 weeks of the year, my teeth are hurting for some being straightened reason, and my brain failed to reset its overload induced bad attitude overnight. Can I opt out of living with myself today? Is that an option? It definitely *should* be
