MFW the vendor has a big “user is an idiot” attitude, I finally get them to send a tech out, and the tech can’t fix it either BECAUSE IT’S BROKEN LIKE I SAID IT WAS

Ever have those “everything’s coming up Milhouse!” days? First patent published! Someone gave me a Coke! A raven gave me a pretty rock! But I’m really wondering why there is a brand new steam cleaner in my house? We have two of lesser quality, and this one just kinda showed up in our garage?

*sigh* Now I need to go back out to the barn and do my chores later, after #GarbageMare calms down from her massive temper tantrum. She is furious with me. I just wanted to see if she’d changed her mind about apples. And I guess that’s a war crime now?

"Can I really do a PhD at 50?" Yes, person I made up for this post. There are some surprising benefits. If you don't get hit by a bus sometime, then you're gonna be seven years older with or without the PhD. Might as well do it. If you do get hit by a bus, you don't have to do lit review anymore.

I don’t have much imposter syndrome left at this point in my career. However, I submitted my first batch of assignments for my doctoral work and I keep expecting the feedback to be “our apologies, we’ve realized you’re quite stupid.”

Glad the economy is healthy enough to support a small army of people to follow me around Hobby Lobby and just stand in front of whatever thing I wanted to look at, oblivious, like they’re figuring out wtf stickers are or how to spell the word “wood”

Dear vendors: I am begging y’all to monitor which clients haven’t completed mandatory migrations, and then reach out! Don’t just cut access. Take the time to ASK ‘cause maybe you sent your sole migration notice to, say, accounting instead of the tech who’s been trying to contact you for a full year.

COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT If your doctor prescribes a specialized diet or supplement, health insurance should be paying for it the same way it pays for drug prescriptions. (We spend about $400/month on post-surgical protein shakes alone.)

Judge: This book is unprofessional. I found numerous typos on these pages. This book was clearly not edited. Reader, those were the pages that talk about the main character correcting typos! You'd think if you paid for a judge to judge a book in a competition, they'd actually READ IT.

I keep thinking “It’s too hot to do anything with #GarbageMare” and I forget that she was born in nature’s forgotten furnace. Spent the first three months of her life in 110° weather. She gets so much energy between 90° and 100° and I just sit here melting.
