Updates:
1. Georgia-Pacific apparently has a rock star customer service team and is sending us a new towel dispenser thanks to a lifetime warranty 🍻🙌🏼
2. Samples were supposed to be delivered between 11:40 and 3:40, but it's 1:40 pm in TX and tracking still thinks they're in NJ 👎🏼

The glamorous life of a chemist on Friday - troubleshooting the bathroom paper towel dispenser while desperately hoping FedEx hasn't lost your critical samples somewhere in New Jersey because they're supposed to arrive today but tracking hasn't updated since Thursday morning.

I feel like the @desertbus.org sound engineering team (or the @videostrike.team) needs to have this squirreled away on a list somewhere...
Putting this on and forgetting about it.

All this posturing over a (definitely real) island is giving me big Jingo vibes, except I don't think we have a Samuel Vimes or Carrot Ironfoundersson on our side (or a 71-Hour Ahmed, if it comes to that).

I bet Calgary will be surprised to learn their airport is located in Ontario, according to this clickbait article about Canadian airport codes I just read.

The sock knitting will continue until moraaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😱😱😱😱
Scrap socks won (again).
My best friend was like "...surely you've almost run out of sock yarn by now?", and honestly? I'm still not through the 10+ year old skeins and scraps. There's another few months of socks still in my stash based on that alone.

*Increasingly* fewer. This is turning out to be one helluva rough holiday season.
Hug your loved ones close, friends. Growing old sucks.

Nobody tells you that growing up with a lot of aunts and uncles means that at some point, inevitably, you will start having...fewer aunts and uncles.

Sewing in sock ends and trying to decide between a new pair of scrap socks or switching it up for a knit stole instead. Decisions, decisions...

One day, someone will finally explain to both the communications team and the people at the top of this organization that hashtags are for categorizing and search tags, and HAVE NO PURPOSE in internal memos (especially when used in all caps).
WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING SEARCH TAGS AT ME IN AN EMAIL???

Listening to a 2021 episode of Behind the Bastards and the sarcastic "I think it's safe to say that the 1970s were the last time the US did anything sort of questionable in Latin America" raises even more eyebrows in 2026. 🤔

So long, 2025. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Actually, DO let it hit you in the ass and good riddance.
Now to survive the next installment.
