Bosses let us know we’re allowed to take days off even though we’re Excepted (back at work w/out pay), & that it’s okay if it’s to do some quick side-gigs, even if they’re apps/development that might in the past have risked moonlighting violations, as a group even if need be.
Very Normal Times.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Me at the coffeeshop window all furlough
Furloughs roll in 30day increments.
30days w/out supervision has so thoroughly cooked our systems that IT dept was Excepted & we’re all back in office putting out fires & disentangling users.
Still not getting paid until shutdown ends. Vibes very “increasingly feral class ignoring the substitute”

Extremely important pupdate from the NYC dog costume competition.
At some point while patching damaged walls at the beach house, my folks took me up on my offer of painting over the patches that were either noticeably lumpy or where the paint didn’t quite match the sun-faded walls, so my adventure in stenciled fish & freehand cartoony seagulls began.

"The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland attract many visitors each year, but little is known about the dragon that dwells there. Despite the visitors, very few have claimed to have ever seen it, and so it’s existence has been considered simply a tale of the high seas."

Management needed a nap today so I escaped to the beach & got my first payment in several weeks!
Also please enjoy this shipwreck (the Flambeau, from 1867, which reportedly sent hundreds of stovepipe-style tophats up & down the shore for miles)

This “being a painter/handyman” during shutdown has been very informative, having fun fitting screens into frames, spackling & painting trim/spindles, scouring railings/grout/pans, repairing broken art/furniture/etc.
That said, scraping out moldy caulk is vile & I shall not be doing it again.
