I think we can all agree that the most egregious offense here is the Appeal to Lulz without delivering said Lulz.

Seriously. If you're going to complain about a lack of funny, you better fucking bring the funny. Otherwise you're just an unfunny complainer, and we already have Unfunny Eric for that.

It's snow day nine hundred and fucktyseven here in the Niglty (Altnel?) household. I am so thoroughly over snow days.

I hear most of PDX has turned to cannibalism, with the vegans deciding that eating another vegan is OK.

It's really the only thing that's making this bearable.

Haha you stole our weather

Haha you stole our weather 

I'd like you to have it back, please. We have no infrastructure for this!

I"m on the fence about this.  On one hand, it's warm.

On the other hand, they built an ice castle expecting a normal winter, not sure how well that's holding up.

I have income again.  It's enough to scrape by, consulting for an NGO on the East coast.  Best part is, I can keep the position when I find something more lucrative, since this takes about 8 hours/week, working remotely.

[LMNO]

Good to hear that.

[NeonWytch]

Congrats, friend.

That's awesome, but hold up a second...

You can make enough money to scrape by working only 8 hours a week? Fuck, man, I'm so in the wrong line of work.

My sleep schedule has gone to shit over the past few months.

For example, I finished work Sunday morning.  Slept 4 hours until 1230, then stayed awake until 1500 the next day, slept for 4 hours that night, then slept another 5 hours from around 0600 in the morning, then yesterday I slept from 0400 until 1230 again.

That's actually pretty good for me.

I have some money put away.

Today is hilarious.

I almost forgot I have to let my interns in, and was 40 minutes late because of nothing going quite right.

Water is leaking into the basement levels. My lab is in B2.

My dad, who has dementia, isn't getting along with my brother and wants to move into our basement, which is also flooded, so I had a chat with him today. He was not thrilled about my insistence that first he has to look at the space, and THEN we have to sit down together with the brother he lives with, the brother whose name is on all his properties, one of my sisters, and my cousin to hash out his living arrangements.

After that phone call, maintenance showed up, and determined that the main drains on the east side of the building are clogged "with something dead", and that we can't use the plumbing until it's removed.

Appropriately, it now smells like a corpse-filled sewer in the science building. I'll be here until 8 (with forays to nearby buildings to use the bathroom).
