Household update: Jumpy Dog played with Bouncy Dog for a few seconds rather than running away, Barry and Bouncy Dog have exchanged head bumps and kisses a couple times (Jumpy Dog is scandalized by Barry’s polyamorous feline ways), and Jack is still deciding between distaste and indifference for Bouncy Dog.

@IamMrsGeek Yah we’ll be keeping an eye on that for sure.

Meanwhile I’m glad he mostly stretches out lengthwise when he sleeps on the bed.

@IamMrsGeek @jens in addition, the animals have a joint offensive against the robot: Jumpy Dog attacks it when it moves, and the cats attack it when it’s sleeping.

Concealed in his perch, Jack ponders whether to facilitate Bouncy Dog’s demise.

A small black and brown dog sits on the floor, oblivious to intense scrutiny from the cat on a nearby table.

Dramatically stylized detail of the cat’s intense stare.

If I get a “this job you applied for was closed” or even some version of “we didn’t pick you,” and the sender isn’t no-reply@no-job-for-you.com (or whatever) I’ll send a “thanks for letting me know” reply because somebody actually took the time to hit send.

Probably.

I’m not a big email person, but these days I feel like it’s important to acknowledge honest-to-god attempts at communication.

@camper_samu yep, probably would be more awesome if I cared about either of those things.

@camper_samu the less smart-ass version of that is that woof yeah it’s got some issues and it’s not as big as it was. But I’ve had fun, especially playing with modpacks, and that’s all I really care about in a game.

@IamMrsGeek He is notably more cooperative than Jumpy Dog about scritches.

Lest there be any doubt about who claimed who at the animal shelter.

TFW the medical appointment reminder is very clear about a mask policy and you’re the only one there in a mask, including staff.

@martini makes sense to me.

“How did you know your tinnitus pitch is over 2KHz? Are you a musician?”

“…no I’m a nerd.”

Related: when I saw my hearing test scores I had to fight the urge to ask for a retake because “I can do better next time!”

@rafial we live in a universe of nigh-infinite possibilities.
