These first two work weeks of the new year have been… something else.
Really wondering how the whole “take on tons of new work but not hire tons of new people” thing will work out.

Hung out with some kiddos at xmas. Said things I never thought I’d say:
Better to fall off the dock now. If you do it later, the adults may not be sober enough to rescue you.
Stop throwing crab pots at your sister.
No, I don’t want to hold that dead thing. Thanks for asking.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

And thus begins the holiday rush at work to complete every project known to man and several arcane or eldritch ones hidden in the void before the year ends.

In light of the astronomical increases for my health insurance next year, I thought it would be a good time to encourage people to subscribe. (A few hundred should cover it. Sigh.)
