What do you suppose Colter Shaw's business model looks like? A reward job for $10,000 lasts 3-5 days. He has to pay the Scooby Gang. His gas-guzzling truck goes all over the country. Expenses, etc. How many jobs does he need to take to pay the gang well?

Weather is supposed to get bad soon. As in, tornadoes bad. Boss says I can leave as soon as I finish processing invoices and receipts. Which is great, I say, looking at the stacks of paper growing taller. I love PTO, but this work doesn't do itself. And I can't WFH bc it's a govt database.

The fabric selection has started. I wanted these clear plastic bins specifically so I could organize projects. My work table has cubbies where I can put these bins and other organizers.

This is perfect and I love it!

I've seen so many "patriotic" ads for giant trucks lately. Be strong, be proud! Drive a gas-guzzler while we jack up fuel prices!

If you have a Costco membership, they have generics of both zyrtec and claritin. 365 tabs for around $15.

My diabetic cat is in the veterinary ICU, and I am injured and unable to work. If you're able to help out at all, I will hugely appreciate it gofund.me/842e92659

I resisted. Instead, I bought fabric for the wedding quilt.

Quick! Somebody tell me I do not need this fabric. I was so tempted by the entire line when it came out. These 3 are the last my LQS has.

Youngest in London

I promised myself that if I vacuumed, I could play. And yet, here I am searching for pet-themed charm packs. I related news, I've decided on a design for Middle & DiL2B's wedding gift quilt.

I used to host a lot of swaps. Some were Halloween themed, others based on color/size. I'd lay all the stacks out on the floor and, while fending off infants and toddlers, assemble the fabrics to be returned. If you sent 10 squares of the same color, you got back 10 sq of different colors. So fun!

I miss the days when I could do fabric swaps online, when it was safe(er) to give people your address.

Happy Pi Day! Throwback to 12 years ago when we had all 9 pies that Harold* liked best for dinner. Oldest made these. I made Shepherd's Pie (not shown). *If you get this reference, let's be friends.

Youngest has just taken off. Wish them safe travels!

Being 63 and grey-haired is awesome because I'm frequently underestimated. They never see it coming.

I'm trying to do quilt math and I realized how out of practice at geometry I am. For me, it's not particularly hard math (except for hypotenuses). It's just been a while.

20 minutes left of the workday on a Friday. Sanctioned goofing around time, right?

A goat. If I can wrangle 5 children under the age of 11 into a minivan, while following the restrictions of the wolf/goat/cabbage logic puzzle, I can handle 1 goat. I have a lot of experience with kids.

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. The smell of bread baking. 2. When a dog cuddles and rests their head on you. 3. Big, warm hugs.

Socks are gay now.

I ran across a pair of glasses from 2016(?) and tried them on.

Ever since I ordered my new glasses, it's like my eyes have given up trying to focus with my old ones. It's super fun trying to read my computer screen. 😵‍💫

Dear Idiot Elevator Inspector, if you don't send the invoice, I can't pay it. If you don't send the invoice, you don't get paid. If you don't send the invoice, you can't complain later that you haven't been paid. If you don't send the invoice, you can shut the fuck up about not getting paid.

Youngest is off to England tomorrow! I know it's a lot of stress for them: traveling alone, finding GF food, without family. But I hope it goes smoothly so they can enjoy the experience! I'm so excited for them! ✈️

90 minutes so far. *adds another item to the yelp review*

Now I'm being tortured by Fleetwood Mac cover songs.

I checked yelp and saw multiple bad reviews for the service here. And I was on yelp because it was the only search result to yield a local (not corporate) phone number to set up this service visit. Guess who's going to add another bad review?

I've had to explain 3 times that the clock tells time accurately. It's the date function that isn't working.

I'm at the Nissan dealership. The floor mats that were in the back of the car are an optional change. You can stick with the plastic all-weather or use carpet. When I bought it, Sales Dude just said the mats were in the back. I had them switch out the ugly ones for the carpet ones.

I still don't want to work on Saturday. But I have to balance that against how stressed out I am from everything that needs to get done. My job focus has changed dramatically in the last 18 months since New Boss took over. We do a lot more repair/new work projects than that 1st year. 1/

I did some work, which is how I know the mech did his paperwork wrong.

One of the off-site mechs did a bunch of his paperwork wrong for work orders. On one hand, it really bugs me that he didn't follow instructions AGAIN. On the other, IDGAF that the data is wrong. I've got the hard copies to prove it wasn't my fuck-up.

Ugh. I don't want to come in on Saturday but I straight up don't feel like working this afternoon. 😴😴😴

17-year-old me would have been so proud.

Welcome to #NoStabWednesday

I left for work shortly before sunup this morning and there were rain clouds on the horizon. The sky is defiantly ace today.

Oldest dropped off cat food while I was still at work. When I got home, Bernie gave me a lecture because he didn't get pats! Oldest said he never came to greet her. But he still complained that he didn't pats! He does the same thing when the food delivery guy comes to the door. 🤣
