I thrive at my job when I'm left alone, but I did a thing that helped (it was just common sense really), and now I'm being noticed and I don't like it.

But I love my job. Very much so.

And please consider reading the books before gifting. Us Gen-Xers were built of strong stuff and handled VC Andrews somewhat as teens. The Wicked books are very dark and nothing like the musical. read the room, read the books
I'm not a musicals person, but I finally saw WICKED and it was incredible. Started off with "imma not gonna like this," and ended up bawling at the end. Can't wait for the next one! #TeamElphaba

“Meta launches Vibes, a short-form video feed of AI slop.” On The Daily Show, comedian Michael Costa put the situation more bluntly, describing Vibes as a feed for “fat little pigs” and suggesting that Meta wanted to “watch you eat yourself to death.” www.palladiummag.com/2025/11/14/t...

The Sorrows of Young Werther

The Soros of Old Judge Jerry
My “my 17 references to George Soros aren’t political” footnote is raising a lot of questions answered by my footnote.
But worry not, he has a footnote explaining why his fixation on Soros "is not political."

My most progressive therapy sessions are very much modes to transformation (why transcendental meditation clicked). There was a time I needed the validation, but man, after 50 I needed to heal, actually try to be better, and live by not giving a fuck.

Ongoing. Also naps. NAPS FFS

As a Toronto nostalgia fan, this was fun to see. Until January 11, 2026, you can get a rare look at vintage shopping bags from the likes of: A&P, Dominion, Eaton's, Honest Ed's, Simpsons, The Hudson Bay Company, Woolworth's, Zellers… and more! At the Toronto Reference Library.

These are the folks I adopted Horrible Babby Kitten from! Like all rescues they do a LOT of unpaid and invisible work for local animals, so if you have even $5 it would be awesome if you could kick in!

Leftover beef pasties for dinnah, a library book in transit, a sexy man on his way, an avalanche greeting of dogs, and this perfect kiddo.

The world is a hellscape, but there's glimmer worth fighting for.

Setting location permissions on my dad's phone so he can use Google maps.

Much fun. WHERE ARE YOUR SETTINGS, PAPI?

Made Cornish steak pasties. I am not confident enough to make the proper shape yet, but these were really tasty. Kids and partner gobbled them up.

Pommies non-alcoholic Anytime cider. THE best of the zeroes. Does not taste like vinegar. Does not emulate soda pop. Tastes a bit like Strongbow. We might have a winner. #soberdrinks

I was told I speak French with a Latin American accent (which I'm secretly chuffed by), but still a bit scared of speaking during work meetings, even if it's just a few sentences at a time.

I hope it's a smooth Colombian accent, instead of a harsh one, but nonetheless it's fun to know this.

You know what's scary? Forgetting my reading glasses at home. Managed somehow to get my fave dark roast coffee instead of its decaf version. *relieved*
