Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.
Good luck today! It sounds like you’ll have a busy day ahead of you. Hope you still get to enjoy today in some way though.
I’ve been off since Christmas and won’t start work until Monday. It’s coming out of my vacation days mostly, but I always end up having too many left over at the end of the year anyway.
My partner is also off, but they get a mandatory vacation between Christmas and new year, on top of the usual vacation days.
My surface pro from work has this, though I can’t say I’ve ever used it in all these years.
It’s like time travel. One moment you’re here, and the next it’s an hour later and you’ve somehow arrived.
Don’t ask me what happened during that time, I wasn’t really there.
Don’t listen to him, he’s not even a spider!
Cuddling with my partner in bed. Especially early in the morning, when I give myself an extra half hour to just stay close together for a little while longer.
Oh and having to type

Before doing turning it off :)
I remember our family computer having an actual switch instead of a button.
Still did the toe thing though, down for on and up for off.
We both use baby for each other.
Which sounds weird for some reason, when I write it down like this. Even though we’ve been using it for about 20 years now.
I disagree, those bastards will find a way regardless.
Sure! It’s this one:

Of course windows is going to be replaced the moment it arrives :)
A small 8 inch laptop that can fit in my everyday bag. It hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m not sure if it’ll be worth it.
It’s my usual birthday purchase impulse, the one time I allow myself to splurge for something for no other reason than “I want” :)
I hope to use it to wean myself off of phone apps and have something that is more under my control while I’m outside.
I don’t have a favorite but Error Detection by Nemophila is an often played song in my list right now.
Oh good, so it’s not just me :)
SJW seems to be having some problems I think.

Oh dear, now I’m wondering if I’m on your list or not :)
I only have two bot accounts blocked, not even sure if they’re still active.
The Planet of Adventure series (it came as a single book) by Jack Vance.
It was more of an adventure book than sci-fi. Light on the science but amazingly descriptive with the details of its world building. It was the first time I could read a book and really experience it like I was there.
I dug it out of my dad’s sci-fi collection when I was about 11 I think. It was a Dutch translation and came with a separate map. I loved that map so much, you could follow the journey and fantasize about all those other parts that weren’t mentioned in the book.
So yea, it’s the book that opened a whole realm of imagination for me.
Inattentive adhd. My mind likes to go on little vacations.
They had to cut down the company from 15 to 8 employees due to a big client leaving.
I was one of those seven that needed to go. But one of those that got to stay had a year long sabbatical planned and decided to take it earlier. This allowed me to stay, but I only got to hear this about a week or two before I had to go.
I already had some second job interviews planned and attended these anyway for fun. I wasn’t rude, but definitely a lot more casual than your usual applicant :)
