Welcome to the first day of winter...21F here with a storm on the way for tomorrow and Saturday.... and with that.....I shall try to stay awake for the winter

No! Try not! Do, or do not. There is no try.

Christmas this year can go **** itself. Blasts or Artic air and lake effect chills are expected, and if that wasn't bad enough my sister and her hoard are coming over here in the morning because, basically what it boils down to, she and her douche of a husband are ****ty parents. Even my mom is complaining about their presence "infringing on our own Christmas."

Have you ever considered getting a different family?
Try something more Wally & Beaver.....or Bud & Kelly.

I find it amusing that at the office I'm apparently the only person the printer will cooperate with. I walk up to it, put in my login stuff, release the print jobs, and it prints for me, to the dismay who have been complaining it's not working and/or waiting for their own stuff to be printed.

There's nothing like having magic juju when it comes to printers and computers.

How's this for the 12 days

The dearth of posting for a while seemed to indicate that there was an outage somewhere. I was sitting her with not much to do since but now things appears to be back to what passes for normal.

I blew a head gasket at work due to the amount of anxiety I was under. I got back from a visitation a little after 11, and when I got to the office a group meeting/Christmas dinner was going on. This meant not only that it was uncomfortably warm in there, but there was also a lot of people and a lot of noise going on. And then I had a meeting in a room where it was even more uncomfortably warm from the body heat, and lots of people still. It was so bad/hard on me that I actually got a bit dizzy and lightheaded while I ate lunch, I got a pretty nasty headache, and I'm still a bit shaky even after my drive home.

Looks like I'll have some clients to work with next week.

This morning, an injured deer was on my property.
Looks like a broken leg from a car collision.
Called a friend, who shot it with a crossbow.
(Went clear thru....a lung shot.)
He gutted it, & took it to a processor.

Its condition suggested that it was injured at least a few days ago.
Btw, deer blood coagulates really quickly

It wasn't me...I was no where near that deer

I already knew that.
The deer didn't smell of wet bear.

For all the "them and us" talk and not-really-that-friendly literature, training manuals, and forms towards non-theists that have had me feeling out of place and that I don't belong, I also feel welcomed and that I'm a part of the team. The guy going on about health care and profiting off it and how good religiousness and patriotism are (even implying patriotism is something everyone has) can **** off, but my boss got me this as a Christmas gift/"stepping stone" into my new career (can't see it in the picture that well, but it has lots of those reflective dots that reflect rainbow colors):

The positive social connections I've made over this year, the acceptance and support, it makes me wonder how different my life would be if I would have had such things 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago. Of course nothing can change that, but I'm starting to not feel strong suspicions of someone's motivations if they are nice to me, and not feeling so awkward when they are without malicious intent behind it.

And even though the way the company policy is written an employee can be fired for alcohol use, one employee (not sure of her title/position) gave the advice of getting a keg if you want to save money on beer, one announced that she always has at least a 12 pack at home, and another (the one who helped me get HIP insurance) "whispered" in the office (the door was open) "I can't air this in front of the group, but I like my eggnog with rum and I don't see the point in drinking it without rum."
Those drinkers need to chill and go green.

UPS gave me a package....I did not order it...no one in my family ordered it...and the address on the box said it was not for me.... but they gave it to me just the same..... apparently UPS does not make these mistakes...because there is no option to choose for this on their website and no reply you can give their automated phone answering system that covers this either...

You have to call them twice.... say; operator, I'd like to speak to a human, real live person, human being please....several times...the computer will say it is going to hang up on you....because it can not understand you...then ask you of that is ok.....to which you say no..... then repeat the whole human thing again....go through the several times...... eventually it says.....OK...I will connect you to an attendant...... so I figured....they think it is a Christmas gift they gave you at the expense of someone else...so you should not tell them they made a mistake and just keep lt.... but being a honest bear I pushed ahead and finally got them to at least say they would send a driver to pick it up.... however I have no idea when that will be.... it is for a neighbor... but it is rather large and I have no desire to deliver it to them since it is heavy and I most certainly do not want to be held responsible if it is broken...thank you UPS for the thoughtful gift..... but I think I need to return it...Merry Christmas
