Sep. 11th, 2025 10:03 amBetween having 90 hours of use/lose leave to burn before the end of the year and the thought that the Pentagon might be a headache to deal with today (I thought there was a good chance Trump would show up for the memorial ceremony at the last minute just so noone would be prepared for the building traffic being halted over it), I am taking today and tomorrow off, staying at home and watching the skating from Bangkok in the mornings. Although it was maybe a touch odd watching Yanhao Li's short today. (Will they always insist on adding vocals to Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close programs?) Though I should probably go buy new walking shoes at some point. My current pairs are literally falling apart.
Somewhere in there my sister will also be coming over to help us sign up for Fios. Though she has bigger problems than us right now. Tuesday along with the rest of her division PBS laid her off from her main job. She'll still do contract work for them, hopefully, but that's a major blow, leaving her once again at the mercy of a gig economy that's only going to get worse. She also has to take my mom to get her flu/Covid shots, which she at least is undisputedly eligible for starting next week. Perhaps she'll even be here for the Fios install, although I intend to be either way.
I, on the other hand, remain gainfully employed at what is soon to become the Department of Making War on Those Americans Trump Doesn't Like. (And who knows what he'll use that asshole's death as an excuse for.) When I first said after the election I was going to look for another job, mother and sister alike urged me to stay there. I think they realized right away what I didn't want to: that I'd be safer there than anywhere else.
