She: “Did you eat?”

Me, panicking: “I uh I ate I had some of the bottom of that bag of old chips and — uh — no?”

She begins to laugh

Me, triumphantly recalling conspicuous calorie consumption: “DONUTS! I ATE TWO DONUTS!”

Made her snort-laugh so definitely a win.

Force font DPI (96 → 115) so I can be less squinty. KDE says I should be using screen scaling in display settings but apparently EndeavourOS doesn’t include that bit. So DPI change it is!

Hurt my shoulder putting ketchup in the fridge and although I appreciate not being dead this whole “getting older” thing is unacceptable.

Me: “⸘wat‽”

[Spouse looks on in concern]

Me: “Copy — and —paste, motherfucker!”

A professional at work.

Somebody commented “There is no Internet” in Slack and I was about to throw some cheeky reply like “at last” until I noticed it was the support channel.

Thankfully support was already taking care of them.

Learning new industry buzzwords is always a bit of a mixed blessing. On one hand, now you know what they’re talking about. OTOH, now you know what they’re talking about.

Played with #midjourney “synthwave rendering of the four evangelists from the book of kells” to bring you your new prog rock album cover and its sludge remaster before I go grab my coffee.

Spent a couple nights getting more of an intentionally sketchy look with the latest bedtime doodle.

@welshpixie thank you!

Right yeah it’s 2:30 in the afternoon I should probably eat breakfast.

Good lord there’s a lot of self-indulgent borderline prosperity gospel nonsense in the PKM space.

She asks if I have any cravings. Couldn’t remember “charcuterie” but I remembered a viral video — almost — and told her I wanted a coochie tray.

Which started an entertaining stream of jokes unsuitable for a public forum.

Loud Dog’s got this thing where she always has to pee at 5:30am. Jumpy Dog’s getting this thing where she always needs to poop shortly after midnight.

It’s like working split shifts.
