So my parent’s washer exploded.
Its not funny… Its hilarious. I’m visiting and apparently, the chip shortcircuited and kept filling the washer past its capacity.
I walk into a tidal wave of water and their fluffy cat sailed past me looking like a drowned rat clinging to the wash basket.
So off to home depot in the morning.

An ad stealth merged with my screen when I was looking at the status updates, so all I saw was:
“So my parent’s washer exploded.

DQ Holiday Blizzards! “So I clicked on expecting a totally different story. Now I’m hungry.

The good news washer cost under 600 for a 7 year warranty but we had to purchase the hoses separately.

I hate being mistaken for a manager. A long shift and roughly five minutes in I’m getting blasted for something a coworker is doing.
-
Well that sucks
-
Maybe it’s a good sign to start asking for a promotion? (and a raise)
-
Haaaaa…. I know that feel. I was the de-facto manager for almost two years before my boss was willing to provide the title officially…. because as long as they don’t give you the title, you don’t command the pay. Your job sounds like it is full of a-holes, too. Screw them.

Now if you were a deity vying for control of a world with pantheons(teams/alliances) With the standard alignment axis
and you only got one avatar(lynchpin to said world. Its destroyed you’ve irrevocably lost your bid for said world)
With the alliances having access to far greater resources and power of said world. With heroes, monsters and even demigods duking it out over this vast map. Fog of war at play.
You’re a loner god with no ties to any faction. Where would you decide to place your avatar?

Hm. There are so many possibilities…
I like positions which are easily fortified but which also provide avenues for escape. Mountain ranges with an extensive network of caves and tunnels would work, especially if I could allow my shadow people free rein in those caves and tunnels. “No one who enters leaves without my permission. Now have some pie.” That sort of thing.
Mountains are hard to assail, and also very useful for hiding things you’ve acquired but aren’t ready to use yet. And there’s just something wonderfully majestic about being on a mountaintop, surveying the world below, ripe for the taking. My gamer brain keeps recalling Flemeth of Dragon Age fame. She starts out in Origins as a cranky old granny in the Wilds, and by the end of Inquisition, well… the Old Gods are never really gone, are they?
-
thank you
Hadn’t considered mountains like that. Delightful space to hide the spoils and to found a harpy’s roost.
No one is gonna get the drop on you.

Survived the double shift
Unfortunately, I had to witness preteens in skintight jeans and G-strings. I’ve never felt the urge to call child protective services before.

I’ve reached homeostasis on tired.

There is no explanation for some people. I picked out my kids’ clothing when they were preteens, and there were no arguments. They dressed appropriately for their age, because I believe children are children, not miniature adults or objects of desire.

Children should be allowed to be children.
I won’t pretend to understand such a mindset. I don’t want to understand anyone who actively sexualize their own children.

S’a shame. I hope there’s at least some bright point today.

Hell week is apt. Holiday panic is in full swing with every miser and groupon fanatic trying to get thanksgiving done. Foresight is a thing and being horrible to cashiers will not endear you to them.

I try to be nice to the cashiers, and I try avoiding those self-scans. (However, the local %*!mart is trying to make it unavoidable, leaving one cashier available when it’s installed self-scan in lieu of *most* of the old regular lanes.)
Yeah, I’ll be making a stop tonight, though to a more local shop, get one or two things I know I’m out of.

I don’t like the self scans either. From the selfish point of view there’s always something goes wrong, and from the unselfish I’d rather cashiers had the jobs.
-
I made the turkey run last night—I like a fresh bird, and I always pick up my bird at Stew Leonard’s. The staff there is incredibly helpful, and not a self-scan in sight. It’s so much a part of my holiday tradition that I’m not sure I could do Thanksgiving without Stew’s and those turkeys.
At my local market, I know most of the cashiers. We talk to each other about our kids, our lives, our vacation plans. I always mutter about using one of the grocery delivery services in our area, but I’d miss chatting with everyone at the store.

That moment when you read your own story on hiatus… Grand inquisition nowhere near done.
Time to be a necromancer and breathe new life into it.

Injecting scifi into high fantasy.
Lets see where this goes
-
Robotic necromancy…. possible.

Well it certainly would end the debate of do robots have souls.
If necromancy does work on robots then the manipulation of their animus is not out of the question.

Weird dreams are weird.
So you know you that dream where everyone wants to see your presentation? Yeah.
Only, I saved it on a thumb drive on my belt.
and the teacher was like show us your world. A solar system pops out and all.
I get points deducted because “my geography is uninspired and bland.” We’re talking like HD incredible detailed world. And they decide to bitch about my geography. Every single variable listed and on display(my world is textbook life viable)
to which I replied at least my world can support life. Shots fired the whole class goes “Oh damn.”
Somewhere in the dream world I just pissed off a demiurge/deity.
