Feb. 10th, 2024 12:07 pmSo, it turns out that having to pack up all my stuff and schlep it into the city two days a week to fulfill the company is mandate for “hybrid” work is freaking exhausting. About all I’m able to do when I get home is lie on the couch and scroll TikTok, which is not, as the kids say, a romantic life. I like the people I work with I & I like being able to see my team & the new building is very nice, so at least there’s that. But yeah, I can’t even muster the mental energy to open a book when I get home. BabyBoy and I went through all the things I have on my To Be Watched list and decided that I could possibly put on the second season of Welcome to Wrexham and/or Suits and at least not be completely out of pocket. Stay tuned for updates (I know you’re all dying to find out how it goes. My life is so exciting.)
In other unsurprising news, hitting Costco on the day before the Super Bowl is not a really good idea, not even if you get there when they open. I just totally forgot that the Super Bowl was tomorrow and the whole upcoming week’s food and meal prepping was based on having all that stuff in the house today. At least I did get there early; it was actually almost chill for the first 15 minutes, but then the hordes arrived and I got through check out just in front of the serious lines. Now I just have to get the food production line rolling.
In actually surprising news, last week while I was desperate to find something to listen to as I cleaned/unpacked, I came across a Court of Thorns and Roses on audio at the library just sitting there on the Available Now filter, ready & waiting to be checked out. I’ve sort of missed the romantasy wave and I don’t know if I’m gonna manage to get through all of the dozen books in this and related series, but it seemed like a sign so I grabbed it. It’s like 16 hours long and now when I look, there are 8 people waiting for it, so I’m going to have to finish it in one go because once the library yank it back, I’ll be waiting half a year to get it again. So now you know what will be in my earbuds for the next two weeks, night & day.
