Playing phone tag with an HVAC company's AI which can't process payments.
I eventually got a call from a human that needed a CC number read out loud.
They invested in a clanker that serves as a glorified answering machine instead of a payment portal.
It's the worst of 1995 and 2025 in one.

Anyone who is in favor of twice-annual Daylight Savings changes has never been the primary caregiver of a child under 5.

Finally decided it was time to comb through Dalaran in search of Pepe in his adorable goggles for "The Tangerine Traveler"

Had some fun running world PvP tonight for the first time in ages. Bombing across the sky with 38 other players hits a bit different than slogging through Ulduar by myself again.

I'm surprised there's so little interest in finding this battle pet (vs figuring out other Secrets). From the name/flavor text, it has me speculating that it's hidden somewhere during Phase Diving in the outside version of Tazavesh. Cat getting stuck on a ledge or something would be very on brand 😅

Congratulations to two of my favorite former colleagues as they add another Screaming Hairy Armadillo to the family!
Welcome to the world, little one!
Say hello to the newest (and cutest) member of the Museum of Science family, a baby armadillo named Backpack! Born right here at the Museum, this tiny pup is already stealing hearts with their tiny nose and big personality.

Today's Favorite Newly Learned Fact:
Polaris, the North Star, does not move. It remains in the same place in our sky because it is directly above the Earth's North Pole.
Because of this, The Pawnee people indigenous to the Great Plains called Polaris "The Star That Does Not Walk Around."

Doing some fishing World Quests in Shadowlands and the icon for the Glorious Shimmerfin is...a brownish-grey recolor of a Mud Snapper. I guess I was expecting something a little more shimmery and/or glorious.
