rebus for today:
< ☕️ 🌎

Oooh, it's post-break #cold/#flu #exchange season! My boss is out today at home taking care of a sick kid. We're right on time.

[Exchange season is the result of travel for #holiday breaks. Some kids pick up a cold/flu where they travel or from guests, then school starts back up, and there's an exchange/incubation period of the new-to-the-local-area illnesses. The next stage is passing to parents, and then you get a wave of cold/flu in offices the second or third week of January.]

#Trivia #Challenge:

Why does the #weather station that reports for the #NewYorkCity area have the code #OCX?

In case anyone needs clarification -- the problem is not that I am worried that the film will contain triggering content, it's that anyone who names their production company something like that is an asshole with aspirations of being an edgelord, and their work is likely to reflect that aesthetic.

It's like noping out of taking medical advice from anyone whose favorite word is "toxins".

So I needed something to be background nonsense as I cleared easy tickets, and I got the note that #Bright was coming up on #Netflix and I figured, eh, #WillSmith... can be fun to watch, #Shadowrun: the movie... could be entertaining.

Then the producers credit comes across the screen...
"TRIGGER WARNING ENTERTAINMENT"

You know, I think I can find something else.

I’ve not been posting much for #introvertvacation because, well, I've been #introverting. Also #napping, #soaking, and catching up on #streaming.

I went out two nights for dinner, both at places #yelp thinks are #divebars. Seriously - maybe I'm off but my standard for #dive is way lower than yelp's. Everyone was perfectly sweet to a lone out-of-towner.

Off to soak more and see the season 4 premier if #TheLibrarians.

Welcome to the back #parlour (there are two). I think it might be a bit early for #sherry but a #keurig #hazelnut #cappucino and a #hommemade #cookie are just right for settling in to the #introvertvacation

#introvertvacation #quest level one completed. Located #bed.

Solo travelers, lets make #introvertvacations a thing - leave home, find a quiet comfy niche, and chill. Or explore a new place without worrying about anyone's pace but your own. Dooooo iiiiiit.

Would you walk into a doctor's office, leave a message saying just "something's wrong", walk out, and expect a miracle cure to show up at your doorstep?

Then why send a request to support saying "I saw an error. Fix it." without mentioning such trivialities as WHERE said (perceived) error might be or (heaven forfend) WHAT it might be?

If I were clairvoyant, I'd have a better job than this!

4) I am overdue for a new prescription anyway, but I will miss these frames. I mean they were Prada half rim cats eye frames the right shape for my browline found on sale. I'm not going to find that in my price range again. (Yes, I know about Warby Parker, etc, and will likely do something of the sort, but current fashion is a little chunky for my taste)

3) The manager who always has everything had some superglue, so I may have a temporary repair in the works. (I improvised a clamp with a binder clip.) If that fails, I will probably resort to tape.

I am wearing my last pair of disposable contacts today, dig out of the back of my bathroom cabinet, because I broke the earpiece on my glasses.

1) The contacts change my vision in a different way than my glasses do. I can function, but the difference annoys me.

2) I tried wearing my hair down for a while to test out the "take off glasses, unpin bun" effect, but I do not think I became more beautiful.

@bizbot give me a job

Oooh, I emailed one of the #introvertvacation prospects and got an email back saying that it may be possible to negotiate a single occupancy weekday rate!
