As I, ahem, mentioned elsewhere, today my boss confirmed that I'm getting the raise I requested a few weeks ago, effective immediately, and on Monday, my 97-year old father-in-law is moving in with us, hospital bed, wheelchair, commode and all. Any morning or night carers coming in? They are brilliant people.

He usually goes to sleep at 6pm, so evenings won't be a huge issue, and he's deaf as a post, so my band can still practice in the basement!

Yesterday, I met a friend for lunch that I haven't seen in 30 years. We were on the same AAU swim team growing up.
It was a good time and when the waitress came up him, he commented to her if I drank the glass of wine I ordered with a raised pinky.
My friend never married and much later in the conversation, he mentioned that a mutual acquaintance asked him if he was gay at a recent meet-up he had. He was angry he'd been asked tha.
I commented, "The irony is not lost on me that someone who implied I was gay to our waitress in his first interaction feels insulted that someone thought he was gay."
He laughed.

Network is down at work. Everyone is staring at phones. We have, presumably coincidentally, no hot water in the downstairs office. It feels like society is on the edge of a breakdown. If I get out alive, I'll be scarred for life by the horrors of what I've done just to survive.

I had a dream last night where I was walking in a neighborhood of my old hometown and some pre-teen girls asked me to pitch baseballs to them in their frontyard. My current boss and a bunch of his friends wanted to start a game and when my boss was up to bat, he kept stepping out of the batter's box. I got angry, and instead of pitching the baseball, picked up a rock and plunked him when he stepped out again.
Then he wanted all his friends to beat me up, but I told him if he was so tough to try and do his own dirty work.
I guess I have a little built up resentment against the guy.

Just before Xmas I had my shoulder operated (torn tendon). Two months later I realized that I'm feeling good because now I can move my arm roughly the same as before the operation

I just went to the bathroom at work and the guy at the next urinal was executive management. He was brushing his teeth with one hand and pissing with the other.
Now that's multi-tasking.

Considering it. I decided to do study it more out of personal interest than anything else, but the potential for a career change has always been at the back of my mind. I've been in international student recruitment for 15 years now, and while I still enjoy it, I'd rather like to try something else.

Just got confirmation that my dissertation has passed, so I now have a Master's Degree in Terrorism & Security Studies. Did you use BCB as a case study?
