My company bought me a huge fancy laptop to help with remote work...
I'm so completely undeserving of this.

Tonight was a long awaited Harry Potter PARTY. ⚡
Ravenclaw got stuck with me and I understood basically nothing… and yet, somehow I went undefeated in every duel. Turns out I bring the muscle, not the brains lol. Who would have thought?

The government can reopen, but I’m not going back to work for it.

Work took over my October, and even though I’m grateful for it, the spooky season slipped by too fast with very little to show for it. So I decided that I'm gonna keep it going into November with things like dnd, horror game nights, Stranger Things, and Welcome to Derry.

I never would have thought my career would bloom in the absence of the federal role I worked so hard to have, but it has. And for the first time in a long time, I’m enjoying archaeology again. It makes sense now that it serves people, not politics.

Shutdown Week 3: I returned to the field with new scenery and a subtle change of pace, doing work in private full-time while my government role is paused indefinitely or whatever... And you know what?
I’m actually having a blast!

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.

If this shutdown drags on, I want it filled with: serious selfcare, making art again, actually reading some books, gaming with friends, weekly streams, and maybe even a vacation or two if I may be so bold...
