I applaud the microwave for discovering a way to ignore ONLY the inputs on the number buttons.
(It does not have presets or +30s/etc options so this stance makes it a fancy clock/vent fan.)
It does this sometimes so I’m hoping it spontaneously fixes itself by sunrise.

Guys I need your help w/a Very Important Decision.
Capybara: In warm spam tub w/extra persimmons? Or on their own?
(Ideally I’d make more but I need to paint dozens of other figurines before MFF next week so this might be the only capy ready for that con.)

It’s me. The person that probably got the Toasted Marshmallow Raspberry Latte yanked off the menu bc I ordered it often enough that the baristas realized the milk curdled 3 times out of 5.
Initially we thought the raspberry syrup had gone off or gotten too acidic but a new one did the same thing.

Snapshot of an assortment of work-in-progress sculpts (you’ll get to see the critter that sits atop the cheez-its box later, they just really need to be painted first (the gryphons also need painting but look fine in their base colors for a WIP)

Do we wanna talk about ending the longest govt shutdown to date with a “no we’re not carrying over any use-or-lose leave caused by this, use it by end of year” policy that’s gonna result in offices being more of a ghost town than usual come December or are we all too busy correcting our timesheets?

Bosses let us know we’re allowed to take days off even though we’re Excepted (back at work w/out pay), & that it’s okay if it’s to do some quick side-gigs, even if they’re apps/development that might in the past have risked moonlighting violations, as a group even if need be.
Very Normal Times.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Me at the coffeeshop window all furlough
Furloughs roll in 30day increments.
30days w/out supervision has so thoroughly cooked our systems that IT dept was Excepted & we’re all back in office putting out fires & disentangling users.
Still not getting paid until shutdown ends. Vibes very “increasingly feral class ignoring the substitute”

Extremely important pupdate from the NYC dog costume competition.
At some point while patching damaged walls at the beach house, my folks took me up on my offer of painting over the patches that were either noticeably lumpy or where the paint didn’t quite match the sun-faded walls, so my adventure in stenciled fish & freehand cartoony seagulls began.

"The Cliffs of Moher in Ireland attract many visitors each year, but little is known about the dragon that dwells there. Despite the visitors, very few have claimed to have ever seen it, and so it’s existence has been considered simply a tale of the high seas."

Management needed a nap today so I escaped to the beach & got my first payment in several weeks!
Also please enjoy this shipwreck (the Flambeau, from 1867, which reportedly sent hundreds of stovepipe-style tophats up & down the shore for miles)

This “being a painter/handyman” during shutdown has been very informative, having fun fitting screens into frames, spackling & painting trim/spindles, scouring railings/grout/pans, repairing broken art/furniture/etc.
That said, scraping out moldy caulk is vile & I shall not be doing it again.
