These were bad amendments. Gov Landry is a mini-trump and he can go fuck himself sideways! Proud to have helped ruin his weekend!

Work is still being idiotic about closing the site, but since they’re going to go through and trash everything left in the cubicle area tomorrow I went through after most everyone was gone and collected as many leftover rolls of tape, decent scissors, various-colored sharpies, boxes of kleenex, post-its, and 0.5 pencils/lead (not as many of those left as I might have liked, most of the guys seem to use 0.7/0.9) as I could find. The first half of the list goes with the outreach stuff since even for electronics tape and scissors come up a weird amount and sharpies work to decorate most everything, and the second half will keep me supplied for a while. Plus I also got an ESD desk and chair and a couple fancy power supplies, several new monitors, enough cabling to redo my house and a couple others (admittedly most of that is destined for the local makerspace), and a cabinet and rolling cart for the garage. Oh, and also 4 random rolls of wrapping paper that was there for, presumably, reasons.

I had coworkers that would bring gifts to work because it was the easiest place to hide them from children (and possibly spouses). In December it was not unusual that one table in a random weird corner became a gift wrapping station for people on their lunch breaks.

That’s an excellent haul for the outreach group though, good thinking!

I’m glad you rescued all that stuff!

Finished our taxes and saved $15 by doing it tonight instead of tomorrow, when the price goes up! (I know there are better companies but Marmalade likes using this one because it has all our info from previous years for stock loss carryovers and stuff.)

What’s also amazing is how long I’ve waited to follow up on some of this stuff, and nobody has caught it!! :person_facepalming:

Man, are you guys listening to him winding down? He’s electrifying.

Also he made sure he was talking about John Lewis at the moment he beat Strom’s record.

It’s been so beautiful. I don’t think he knows he’s past 25.

He is an amazing orator and is doing something different.

I cried. I wish I could remember more of the quotable things he said especially around the record breaking mark.

I expect we’ll be seeing a bunch on them on signs during Saturday’s protests

Luna’s heart murmur is benign and she has no cardiac defects! :tada: (she would like it to be known that EKGs suck and ultrasounds aren’t very fun either)
