Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This is from 11 days ago and I’m still cranky. Every once in a while I want to give in to the urge to travel to the US and then Sir Meatball says something that makes me ANGRY and here we are. 030
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I am slowly booking every Friday off between now and Christmas because I have failed to take all my holidays this year. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Why I am so frustrated with basic things? I need to get this shit together. 000
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yes, the Avengers Assemble screen from Endgame was amazing on the big screen, but I will not be tempted back into the theatre to watch Black Widow die again. You can’t make me. 020
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ahhh, I miss the optimism of West Wing. This comment brought to you by me watching Posse Comitatus, which says a lot, I think. 020
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’m freezing and it’s making me mad because I’ve been looking forward to cooler temperatures and I don’t want to complain about them. 🤣 040
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026In unrelated news I think I may have accidentally found myself on conservative TikTok. The Canadian side, so it’s much more subtle. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026As a result of the falling pinboard snd my inability to put it back up (it broke when it fell), I have lost the hook I usually put my headset on, and now it’s taking up space on my desk. 😫static.klipy.comPingu MadALT: Pingu Mad 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There is nothing like the sound of a pin board crashing to the ground. 🤦🏼♀️ 020
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I updated my phone wallpaper to a picture from Cape Spear and now it looks like the time is sinking into the ocean. It looks pretty cool, but is also kind of a dark metaphor. 230

Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 20/09/2026JENNIFER, stop thinking about a random Christmas trip to DLP and start planning the friends trip to Pompeii, you asshole. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I have been “dragged” to an SCA dance event by @abbieprime.bsky.social. I will not be dancing. I’m here for the vibes. (“Dragged” because I did drive here voluntarily). 030
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I realise this is a very niche "first world" problem, but my current boycott of US travel, on top of keeping me from my friends, is making my sudden irrational desire for a Disney Christmas trip unattainable, which is making me cranky. 041
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That sounds weird. Probably better to say THOSE people care about me. I (mostly) know others do. 220
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I haven’t been in the office in a couple of years, but I’ve been working with some of my coworkers for 20. Several people CROSSED THE ROOM to hug and talk to me. It’s a weird feeling to know that people care about me. 040

Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I bought myself new sheets, because I’ve had the old ones since before my Dad passed away. They’re jersey cotton, because that’s what I prefer, they’re also kind of ugly, because it’s hard to find inexpensive jersey sheets. I think I love them anyway (they’re more red than orange, I swear) 020

Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I have been home 24 hours, I don’t return to work until Wednesday, but I am already having anxiety and, oddly, the hot flashes that were absent my entire trip. 🤦🏼♀️ 110
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Does anyone know the secret to maintaining the joy/relaxation of vacation? 110
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I am safely home, where the current temperature is 20. The temperature when I left St John’s was a wonderful 14. The temperature in my HOUSE is 22.5, which is perfectly acceptable, I guess, except I had the hotel set to 18.5. The transition is going to suck. LOL. 040
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I am on a plane. It’s pouring, and very foggy. I assume these guys know what they’re doing. 020
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Made it to airport. It is VERY foggy, but apparently my flight is still on time. 🤷🏼♀️ 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Porter is giving me warnings about low visibility and that my flight MIGHT be delayed on cancelled. I don’t like not knowing. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026All the best places have fried bread. It is, sadly, cold, because I got it to go at dinner, but I have no doubt it’ll still be delicious. It’s “touton”. 020
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I’ve been to this restaurant four times this week. To be honest, I’ve tried to go elsewhere, but I haven’t enjoyed the food or atmosphere as much. The selection here is great. 020
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Also, THIS I feel bad about. But in my defence I was expecting a tiny amount of chocolate in the middle like you get at a standard bakery, not icing leaking out when I took a bite. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I really wish handmade crafts weren’t so expensive. I know WHY they are, but I’m still frustrated. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026A souvenir obviously isn’t REQUIRED - I took a lot of pictures and I’ve been “junk journaling” and, you know, memories, but I want to bring something home. But I can’t find anything. 🤷🏼♀️ 020
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I’ve been here for almost a week and I’m still confused that all the TV shows end on the half hour. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The teenager (I assume) serving me dinner is wearing a pair of pants that make her look naked. It’s deeply disturbing. 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This is, perhaps, the worst guided tour I’ve ever had. I have “reminded” him of things he should be talking about at least twice. (Not on purpose, just by stopping in front of something and expressing interest) 010
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I don’t feel guilty about this because I walked 19 km on Wednesday. It is an Oreo flavoured cinnamon-esque roll. 170
Jen @athena4lynn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Stuck my feet in the ocean at Middlecove Beach, and found some rocks. 030
