Stormtrooper armour saves lifes!

@Grayson It was a full and happy one by the time it left the common. It found small squeaky things and took them off. Beautiful. The bird, not the DEATH of small squeaky things.

@SuperiorHuron said in RL things I love:

ETA: Thirty copies of practically the same report? I thought that was a journal?

That and teaching. Which is what I and @JinShei do.

I would wince for you, but I'm still too relieved that marking doesn't refer to something related to furries.

You think a Skype call is bad, try doing it with a class of inattentive fifteen-year-olds.
Now you may wince.

I wrote weeks worth of asynchronous material for one group, went to check on it, and none had done any. Apparently I didn't tell them to...

Whereas my other group is on it, doing all asynchronous and in person meetings. I got 20 emails from one girl on one day. They are keen and working their hearts out.

I stomped around the house shouting fucking fuckers.

I'm an English, middle-class woman - it takes a LOT to take me there.

Now that depends on which part of England you're from/in. Middle-class in Carlisle is very different to middle-class in Kent.

Source: Was lower-middle-class near Carlisle. Says fuck.

Cotswolds, darling, and Oxford before that.

Oh please, everyone knows the Midlands don't exist.

We're in the SW, whatever Devon and Cornwall say!

This is my home. We walk the dog there, with that view.

Because @Tinuviel bought it to mind.

@SinCerely You made that ring?! That is amazing...

If your brain is busy but you are too exhausted, invest in audiobooks of the books you love but know well. That way, you are engaged but not so much you stay awake.

My mother is actually Mrs Doolittle. In her little 4 acre plot, she has deers, foxes, and many birds, all living happily. She recorded this yesterday.

Oh, and we ate late yesterday and someone was starving to death.

Running community group media is HELL.

Someone: Can we message all the people from the old page?
Me: No because creepy
Someone: But they liked the page, and surely want contact.
Me: No, most people don't...
Someone: Can we at least signpost them to the new page?
Me: Like this post I put up two days ago? I'll pin it to the top.
NewSomeone: Can we put up a post to tell them about the new page?
Me: .... like this one I shared here two minutes ago?
NewSomeone: Yes! Can we pin it to the top of the page.

@LWhiskey Also:

Someone who is retired: We need to do these five things (meaning JinShei and JinDaughter need to do these things)

I'll just fit it in between my full-time job, coping with the pain because the weather changed again, being anxious bout dying from the plague because of our government, dealing with demands to get our organisational infrastructure in place, organising policies whilst bickering about which ones we need, and dealing with the two wankers who are bickering. Oh and marking. Marking season, so my calendar is full of anxious students who actually do need and deserve my attention.

@L-B-Heuschkel An electrical storm went past. Ten miles to the west of me. They got rain. I didn't get lightning or rain or ANYTHING and it is not FAIR. I slept for 4 hours and I am no longer rational. My house is built to keep a ton of warm in and it is muggy and horrible and....

@Derp just. If I've pissed you off, tell me. Don't be snitty. Just fecking say it

@L-B-Heuschkel Boobing boobily across the room...

David Prowse aka Darth

@surreality He was also a person featured heavily in the British childhood... He was the Green Cross Code Man who watched children on CCTV, and then went to talk to them about crossing the road safely...

I'm exhausted. My student nurses are exhausted and talk to me about how hard it is out there. The wards are worse than they were in March. I listen to them and realise how lucky I am but that doesn't negate the depression and fatigue. I'm using all the tricks of my trade to help me cope.

I'm looking for the helpers. I see my nurses pouring their hearts into their work, even when they are so tired. My charity guys just spent a month organising, collecting and then delivering hampers to people with nothing for Christmas. They're up there in our hall four times a week...

I don't know. My well of positivity is running out I think.

@aria we had a similar device after poppy our boxer burst a disc in her spine one day. We had to teach her to walk again after surgery.

Dear bastard fitbit. How is 6 hours of heavy gardening involving chainsaws NOT very active minutes? 1 very active minute? Fuck you, fitbit, fuck you.
