And that's it—for now. I've survived that freakish ten days of pain, the Alcopocalypse. Tomorrow I'm off. I celebrate with alcohol. (What else do I celebrate with?) I kinda wish wine wasn't so disgusting, because to be honest, the wine slosh hits different than the beer slosh. Wine is usually higher percentage, so one small bottle's all you need to get tipsy. I dig that. It's too bad it tastes like chlorinated pool water. We have so many different discontinued kinds of wine that I would Read more
Someone offered to work one of my shifts this week! That means I am thankfully off today and doing as much as I can to do not much of anything at all. I'm down six hours as a result, but 33 hours is still not far off from my old high of 35-37 hours or so and still probably a bit too much for what I'm actually hired to do, but that's okay, quite happy with this arrangement. One thing, months later, I still have yet to get right, is being able to balance working and hobby stuff. Forget big Read more
Well, I've gotten my schedule for this week, and it's fucking scary. I'm working 39 hours total, one day off (not even my usual day off, Thanksgiving), and Black Friday, I'm working a nine hour shift. Last night in general was a whirlwind of emotions. I got my schedule and that wasn't fun. I drank an alcoholic maple bacon slushie from the slushie machine and laughed my ass off the moment I took a sip (it is literally just drinking a sausage and it's the most bizarre thing I've ever tasted). The Read more
One last update on the Savannah stuff: she's officially on the top-level somnolescent.net with us! This kinda site really was meant for five people, and now we have a much, much better, much more excited and productive and cool-to-talk-to fifth person. Spot her all over the site! In the tree! Having a sleepover with us! Carrying a djungelskog! (She's also finally on the humans.txt, which I neglected to list her on earlier this year... Did I mention we have a humans.txt?) I've recently taken up Read more
Ah, fuck me, site stuff gets away from me so quick... Trying to pick up the pace on everything, kinda not doing too great. Kinda struggling with personal stuff. That's okay! Good things are happening. Still gotta finish the Setter cloud drawing. I had originally pegged it for a page on my computer-using history, but all the cool computers, I've gotten in the past 2-3 years. (So yeah, the links on the front page currently are all maybe-future pages. Just needed something to fill out the layout.) Read more
Hype times. Savannah's building a website! And she picked it up really quickly! I don't know of many people who'd build a two-column layout the same day they start learning HTML. It's looking pretty slick. I've already got her set up on the network to start posting stuff to her own subdomain, and I'll be sure to link it when it's ready for folks to look at. I've finally got the front page a little more structured to how I imagined it. I really like the lined bubble handwriting thing, I think Read more
Halloween is past, into the 55 days of Christmas! The scariest part of my Halloween was when a man with a vaguely eastern-European accent came in and put $40 into our lottery machine without quite understanding how the lottery works. I've made all the links from the old site redirect 501 Not Implemented while I get everything resituated. Some of it will be coming back, some of it will go back to mari.somnol, and others will be redirecting 410 eventually. Sorting through it all individually as I Read more
