Day 27: The Senate Recess

Oct
27

Day twenty-seven of furlough. I woke up at 0500, not because I wanted to, but because my brain decided to start a committee hearing on everything I haven’t done yet. Sleep was more of a suggestion than an accomplishment. There’s been a lot on my mind lately, the kind of restless thinking that even Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha can only partially fix. The Amazon returns still sit by the door like judgmental little cardboard senators, filibustering my motivation. Maybe today I’ll finally get them shipped out. Maybe not. We’ve reached that part of the furlough where every errand becomes a philosophical question. Workwise, it’s a Canvas day, time to log in and grade papers for the students. It’s a strange feeling to be furloughed from one side of government work while still serving as the academic traffic controller on another. But I finished my Air Command and Staff College Joint Warfare course, so I’ll take that win. Even better, I officially dropped my November course. Taking a break until January. If the Senate can take some unpaid time off, I figure I’ve earned the same courtesy. Might run out to the boot and cowboy hat store, might not. The rodeo clown dream flickers on, equal parts midlife metaphor and genuine curiosity. I imagine myself standing there, sipping coffee, trying on hats while explaining to strangers that yes, technically, I work for the government… when it works. Remington spent the morning pacing by the window like she’s on patrol. Mittens continues to maintain judgmental eye contact from his perch. Tabby is in stealth mode, likely napping in a place I’ll discover three days from now. Morale check: thoughtful but steady. Coffee strong, coursework done, boots undecided, sleep elusive. The Living Room Republic remains in session, though I might adjourn early for a nap.

7 days to go. One more week until Back Row Underachievers is out. This one is for the hometown crews, the parade route, the lifelong friends, and everyone who knows the best memories were made from the back row. See you on release day.

If you're planning on ordering from @scubacom pay very close attention to all the information you get from them.

Bought 3x OTS Guardians. Showed in stock. Then they shipped a partial order with no notification of a backorder.

Now we have a month wait for the replacement.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games

Still waiting for @WatchMixer Season Three to drop-oh wait!

Also, remember when some of you Mixer Partners cried like little bitches because some of the shirts didn't have the Mixer Partner logo on the sleeve? I remember and I remember who you all are. 😂

@Lexxicharmsttv I create my own thumbnails however i did an A/B test with 1 thumbnail that made by me but enhanced by AI. My enhanced thumbnail had far better reach & views than my normal handmade ones. I have been doing testing the last few weeks on this.

In reality I don't think people really

US RSTC says SSI has been suspended, not removed, from membership. The clarification follows SSI's statement that the dispute centres on proposed training standards. Here's what we know.

Dedication is being able to keep a Promise to Yourself 💎 Easier said than done…. But EVERYTHING is easier said that done 💎

Next level knife skills by the folks at @panerabread here. I'm guessing the person working this morning is world class.

@PudgeTV Yup!! Build your community around you and not the game. I still have quite a few of my community from when I started 9 years ago. Doesn't matter my game they are always there. It is a great feeling to have that kind of connection with people.
