I read this as @Panda responding to @Greyweld. It seems like a reasonable reaction in these odd times we’re experiencing.

the backup monitor that I was hoping to use as a second work screen is too old to connect to my work machine with the connectors I have easy access to.

I had a bad dream about not getting a job. But worse, they wouldn’t even interview me for it because they said I waited in the wrong place and it was awkward. Worse still, it was a for a low-paying clerical job that I was trying to get so I could quit teaching. Worse still, while I was waiting in the wrong and awkward place I saw someone I work with so they cat was out of the bag that I was trying to leave my job. Except I failed to even get interviewed, geez.

My husband said he was done at (work thing) and was coming home. An hour later, I did a location check to get An ETA, and he was still there 
so he hasn’t even left yet. Some dingus is holding him up, so now I’ll have a late AND grumpy husband most likely lol.

I need to keep tabs on my husband like this. (because it affects both of our moods and would be good if I can plan, not because I stalk husband.)
My tiny complaint: people using fertility rate when they should be using fecundity rate. FFS people I could have 7 kids but I CHOOSE to have 2.1. Also, number of children/woman is actually a stupid thing because gender and also how many non-womens are there in your population? I don’t know, and children/woman isn’t accurate about whether there are enough children to support the same population of adults, just whether there will be 2* Womens. A child is not a half woman. OR something. UGH. WORDS THEY AFFECT SOCIAL SHIT STOP USING THEM WRONG.

Bactine on a q-tip will help. Alcohol if you don’t have bactine, but it’ll hurt. You can wet the qtip and then apply a drop of alcohol, then apply to the problem area.

Whereas I suppose you could argue if Latte hadn’t been a statistical mystery, I would have zero fertility but a fecundity of 1 
We use google maps and location share to each other. His schedule is so bizarre and unpredictable that it’s a very good thing.

I should also, since words mean shit, be clear that I was using “I” in the general, population sense. And exactly in your case. Fecundity =/= fertility (weird as that is). But reading about “declining fertility rates so women are only having 2.1 children” I’m like, NO, there IS declining fertility but we aren’t suddenly all only able to have that many children, stop wiping feminism and sexism and huge social changes from your version of history through the use of one word.

I was watching my daily opera when the power went out. This is a small complaint.
But I opened the window to ask the guy working out there if he had done something or whether it was a neighborhood outage, and he said it wasn’t him. And he had been about to mix concrete with a machine and now he has to do it by hand

my boss complained at a 5pm call on Wednesday that we’ve been working from home for two weeks and [thing] still hasn’t been done. And I was only responsible for it since Monday at 11, and I was told to wait to organize something until my boss had a chance to discuss with the person who has been leading it for 14 months that I’ll be working on it, and she did that Monday at 4.
So I was told off for not having things delivered 48 hours later, when it has been 14 months of non delivery. And then she spent 30 minutes making my ‘deliverable for Monday’ thing substantially more complex with all the things she wants us to be considering and doing. I get that she is concerned about second order impact, but the results of that to date is that her team hasn’t externalized any of their work because whenever they are ready, she thinks of another risk they should consider, and they fall into learned helplessness.
This is triply ironic, because the team is supposed to be showing MVP, test and learn and iterate to the rest of the org.

I will publicly retract this complaint. The money has gone to my account and I don’t need to phone anyone.

My moms neighbor invited her to a “Q the Great Awakening” FB group. I knew he was conservative, but I didn’t know he was batshit insane. I had to navigate explaining to her what it was and to not listen to him about anything because it might be a conspiracy theory, while trying to avoid the words “batshit insane”.

The fridge at the new house worked before. Now it doesn’t. I went from needing 3 appliances to needing 4. That’s a lot of money.
