    If my job had work for me to do right now I guarantee I would have been back today. I have two weeks off because of Christmas and New Year’s falling on Wednesday, which means for the company we have a contract with, their employees were about to use only six days of PTO to get two paid weeks off. Most people took the opportunity. I don’t get PTO. My poor wife had to go back today and I know she hates me right now.

    I can’t complain. I am getting paid for doing some bullshit easy online training done. The classes are actually fairly complex networking stuff, but I can pass the tests much faster than reading and watching everything. I just give it a skim and hit the tests.

    Which reminds me I need to bang out a couple classes before midnight!



  • My neighbors diagonally across from me feed deer in their back yard. I have a not great photo from a week or two ago, when there were 14 deer in the yard. I think I got 12 in the photo. The bucks usually stay up in the treeline guarding, but this year we have two bucks, probably a couple of two year old brothers, that behave like the fawns and doe. One was 4 point the other was 6 point last time I saw them. They aren’t in the photo.

    Lemmy is saying can’t upload image, let’s see if I can fix it.

    There we go. 13 of the 14.

    Here’s a fun way to play it- say “We’ve talked so many times over the years, and I bet you don’t even know my name.”

    If he does, explain that you said that because you don’t know his, laugh about it. Get his name and put it in your phone if you think you’ll forget.

    If he doesn’t, then say “Well we’re in the same boat because I don’t know yours!” Exchange names, and put it in your phone if you think you’ll forget.


  • Enjoy winter break. If you aren’t going to college (and I wouldn’t recommend it for most people), this will be the last time you have that much free time unless you live long enough, and make enough money, to retire. Well unless you have a wealthy and generous family. Congratulations if that’s the case, you won the birth lottery!

    Sorry to be such a downer. I forget there are high school kids on Lemmy. For what it’s worth I’m sorry about climate change, but that’s largely the fault of my elders and the corporations that control the government.
