My undecorating is finished!
I think, anyway. I'll probably find something else Christmassy and think what the fuck, but yeah.
Oh, the garland and wreath are still on the front porch.
But we did it, and I can drag it all down to the basement, and then it's done!

We're getting snow now here too. Take it back lolli, I don't want it.
No alarm again tomorrow.
Earlier my son asked me who broke global warming. It made me laugh. I was going to post it right after he said it, but then I was distracted by other things.

Rain's washing away the ~8" of snow we got last night. Looks like it should all be gone in another couple hours.lolli.
I'm glaring at you.
You'd be dead if you were in my line of sight.

Started playing squash again last week, and again today. Of course, my level is dramatic, but I still beat my friend (who used to be slightly better) 7-0 so far![]()
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
I'm on my 4th supervisor in 4 months. I'm on a roll around here
The county has requested that the library system find a way to cut out 3 million in spending. Meaning that a lot of outreach stuff is getting trashed, and departments are getting merged. The ongoing shuffle is finally winding down (reason for so many fly by night supers), but unknown to me, its resulted in my specific position being up to grabs to who ever needed me the most. The proposals that are included with all this shifting include which staff, and from where, they want to work with, and why. I was included in 3 different proposals, for 3 totally different directions that my duties allow.(do we have an emoticon with a bigger grin?)
The library director had to schedule a meeting between the authors of the proposals to work out where I was going to go.It was between teen duties (gaming, middle/high school contacts), electronic resources (digital books, online reference, phone system, dead man's group), and technology education (deciding class direction, staff educating, and funds management on new equipment).
Found out today that the technology education proposal won out, so I won't be changing my role to much, but I am getting more freedom to teach as I wish, with what I can convince the library to afford. It wouldn't have been my first choice (gaming!), but the simple fact that I specifically was requested into multiple departments... man, that just feels fucking awesome.
I want to take this as a sign that I'm a shoe-in for the Senior promotion thats going to open up later this year, but I'm having to watch that I don't become to specialized and important that they won't move me out of my current position.

Happy may possibly be too strong a word, but still, I like it.

Stephen texted me "what time will you be coming home?"
My response "Zionism!"
Typed "soonish!"
Hope is the denial of reality
Pipes fixed, showered for nearly an hour till water ran cold. Turns out they weren't frozen, not the pipes anyway. It was the main shut-off valve at the street. Broken pipe filled access with water which then froze solid. Utility workers were on it until after midnight, digging up the main and replacing my shut-off. quick work considering the scope of the problem.
The worst job in the world is better than being broke and homeless
It's almost up to freezing outside, and it isn't even noon yet! Today could be the day that escape happens!
I'll be watching the ice melt, I will.

The seats look pretty cool. I'm actually kinda eager to see what the decals or paint job or whatever looks like on Bitter's car.
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
I'm officially engaged to my lady. I asked her yesterday morning and she said yes.![]()
