Strange mix of elation and disappointment when I found out work I was about to turn in today was expected for Friday.

I've been flooded with voice messages of length less than 5 seconds. Really, you can't just write the 5 words you left on the voice message?

It's very cold in London. We had snow today.

I've gone off red meat. I like crispy chicken. Not really a fan of fish.

Less time.

Less thought.

Less time + Less thought = Less involvement (contagious, perhaps?)

Yes, you're likely right. When one is tired or otherwise short on mental resources, the mind takes shortcuts by cutting down on the use of resources, such as the ability to focus, which is limites.

Re 'Microsoft Access' sounding like ' Microsoft Taxes', maybe more of an issue of parsing in the English language.

Story , maybe made up, about email program that created a username out of the first 4 letters of the first name and the first three of the last name. Lucía Fernández wasn't too happy about it.

Our bengal jumps up at the living room door handle and opens it. She is not allowed to do this as she might escape somewhere. The door has a lock, so we keep it locked at night. You can't take the key out of the door when locked.

The other day, I saw her jump up and push down the door handle, twisting the key with her other paw. She did this action in seconds and opened the door. I shut the door and locked it again and she jumped up and repeated it with the same precision.

Quite an intelligent animal. See if you can train it to answer questions in PF ; ).

I've found YT videos about sheep shearing to be surprisingly enjoyable and relaxing. Some shed around 8-9 lbs worth of hair.

In Breaking Bad, they refer to pure crystal meth as "glass grade". In reality, glass possibly the least crystalline substance that is also transparent.

I have to rehome one of my cats. Ella keeps attacking my bengal. I have to keep Jade in my bedroom until I find a suitable home for Ella. It's not play fighting. She literally tries to kill her.

They used to be ok together, but Ella has turned into a psycho. Ella is ok with people and accepts my other two kittens, but just won't tolerate Jade anymore.

I'm eating Polish sausages. Smoked Kabanos.

Well the cats have stopped fighting.

I have fresh eggs at the back of the fridge that froze solid. I've defrosted them. Will they still be the same if I tried to fry them? I guess I'll find out.

Well, a phone security surprise. Google sent me a message that someone had asked to use one of my mail accounts as the recovery phone of that someone. I of course said no. I suspect the issue is that one of my authentication factors was a phone number I no longer use. Someone at that phone number may have received a password meant for me. Anyway, 2FA reset. Phew.

It could have just been a simple typo on their part. I did that when entering a phone number for an account once and couldn't get the company to fix it because they insisted on using the wrong number for verification. I ended up giving up on buying anything from them.

My point was that the person who now owns my former phone number likely received a notification , as part of a 2FA, intended for me and somehow used that knowledge to try to hack me.

Spent ; more like wasted, 10 minutes until disambiguating "under Pressure" from ZZ Top from the one by Queen.

This has been going on for years now/already, but I find the seemingly intentional removal of comfortable seating at Barnes and Noble bookstores to be really unpleasant and uninviting.

There is no reason for me to go and stay there. I used to go and spend half a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to early evening there just relaxing, exploring, reading, people watching, and even buying food/drink. Now, it's less enjoyable and I've lost a place to "chill."

I know...they probably think less stragglers leads to less property maintenance or something like that. But, for me, it also has meant just not going and buying/spending anything at all.
