Got called into work early and staying late, also picking up both days this weekend. I'm still pretty lit. I'm going to try and cool my jets with work. I will if nothing else get some extra cash this way. I'll check in here as I can, but not really going to likely get any creative work done for a bit. I have a few too many plates spinning. When I know what's what with my work life and have cooled off about some things I'll be back good as new.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Snakes are easily startled by shouting loudly at them to stop what they are doing, right now.

Look up the symptoms of a serious skin infection and refresh your first aid training. Pack a kit that includes at least one ace bandage, gauze, medical tape and alcohol wipes. Never apply a tourniquet unless the limb is already trash.

Also, being in charge of article titles is sometimes the best job.

A lot of them are millennials...
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

So.  My dad has skin cancer.

His prognosis is excellent, but still.

I've cooled down and, as is my right by contract, left early since they called me in early. Still going to work through the weekend, but I know it's critical to pace myself. I DO have a rant simmering in my guts that I have to get out real soon, but got some friends to chill with first. I WILL keep working on creative projects. I'm not going to let a silly thing like a shitty article steal my happy. That shit is mine and I'm taking it back!

Yeah.. there's a distinctive chill that goes with any news of threatening illness in a parent. I've felt it every time I even hear my dad has a cold since the lymphoma. Hang in there sir. Hope the best!

Pretty sure he's gonna be okay.  He's still fairly young (72), it's not an aggressive cancer (and it's early), and he can afford treatment.

But this is what happens in our family if you dodge early death by heart attack.  At about age 75 (more or less) all your cells rebel and it's one cancer after another.

Glad it's the kind of cancer with nads that can be kicked.

Welp.

Someone entered my bedroom while I was sleeping today.  Naturally, I have sent a very angry email to my boss and his boss.

I've also explained, in not so subtle terms, that 1) I research scary people for a living and 2) I also work as a journalist, and any unauthorized access to my computer could have serious fucking consequences.

We shall see how they respond, though I am not holding my breath on any serious response.
