I am possibly the only person on my work team who responds to “this could be a bad situation” with “let’s go look at the data first and see whether it’s something we have to deal with at all, and if we do have to deal with it, dealing with it knowing what things look like.”

I wish I could send you some of mine. My job has many faults, but lack of PTO is not one of them.
Second day in a row of BABY NO NAP. I think he’s giving up his nap… I might die.
I am so, so, so sorry for you.
Websites in this state seem to think that randomly allowing people in or just randomly shutting off is a reasonable way to limit ordering when they’re overwhelmed.
Oh wow, that sounds like my state’s unemployment phone lines and website! 
I used to think my complaint was government because of how badly everything is run. Now I’m shifting over towards the people close to the top that are terrified of watch dog groups that flip their lid over any spending whatsoever. It’s ok to modernize! In fact, we need to. Who cares if some group that hates the government doesn’t like it?
Apparently Unemployment is no longer taking claims calls until 5/19, which means I’ll no longer be able to transfer folks tomorrow when I take calls for them.
We have a script, sure.
But this is not going to go well.
A squirrel dug up our potatoes.
That’s shitty for all involved…best of luck today!
Apparently Mr. Squirrel also bit off the greenery and bit into many of the potatoes. (Dude, if you are hungry, can you take one and eat it instead of sampling all of them?).
I don’t know if this would be true for potatoes, bit when I’ve had squirrels take only one bite out of tomatoes instead of eating the whole thing they typically are thirsty. A few bowls of water and the tomato tasting stops 
I might just have very Minnesotan squirrels that don’t want to be the one to take the last bite, though 
The birdbath (we fill with fresh water daily) is right next to the potato garden, but I’ll give this a try! And we’ll definitely put a water bowl next to the tomatoes if we grow any this year. Thank you for the idea!
I was thinking of doing some sewing, of some more fitted-type masks. (And maybe that cool plague doctor mask.) But my parent’s printer is non-functional. Believe me, I tried. 
Work issued a psychological profile survey thing after I left for the day on Tuesday, which is due Monday. I’m not back at work until Tuesday. No-one told me I needed to log in and do the survey until I specifically asked when it was due and whether, by any chance, it was due while I was on leave. PLEASE for the love of dog be more competent, people.
I also am very much not in a frame of mind where I should participate in psychological profiling.
I move every 3-4 days. It sucks.
Baby just fell asleep for the night and I have to put on his jacket for moving time
Today I went for a hike in the desert. I got lost, and the sun was setting, and I finally figured out where I was going and I came upon a rattlesnake in the trail. So I went wide, like way wide, to avoid it…and I went wide right into a huge cholla cactus. And got two giant cholla balls stuck in my leg. The spines were in like 1/2 inch deep and there were…20-30 of them 
I had to yank them all out, and while doing that proceeded to get them re-stuck in my fingers. So now I have like 40 scabs all over my leg+hands.
In case anyone is curious about what a cholla is:
Hiccups. Please go away.
Jesus. Ouch, to say the least.
Cholla is incredibly nasty! Ouch!
