Hey, at least they didn't go out of their way, climb over tons of shit and navigate a hidden corridor just to leave it at a door marked "Use other door", right?

That's my front door. It currently sticks, so I put a bench across it to make it clear "don't use this". Obviously, it's a perfect package leaving spot. (the picture is my side door, which is actually easier to get to than the front door)

But not a lack of rain! We're finally getting some much needed liquid. (Like all the dog prints?)

Kind of surprising it took this long.And yes, is having untrimmed strings in the database.

The spec was probably written for people who use
char
instead ofvarchar
.

This morning I was told to clear off my calendar for this critical, urgent group working session, and let nothing distract me from it.
I've been in this meeting for nearly two hours, and they haven't needed me for anything once.

I was snacking on a bag of mixed nuts, but I set it down, and now I can't find my nut sack.
Edit: it was behind my laptop. Now it's between my legs so I won't lose it again.

This is why you don’t leave your nuts unattended.

Status: We've had some off-brand cleaner at the store since sometime around the the start of Covid called "Citrus II." Every time I see it, I feel like they missed an opportunity not adding a subtitle of "The Revenge." They could even make a series of movies to advertise it, sharing the theme of killer fruit from another planet. "Citrus II: The Revenge" would take place 25 years after the heroes stopped a rampaging killer orange from ruining the Orange Bowl because the stadium was built over a haunted orange grove or something. It would be about a killer lemon from Saturn, who just now received the TV broadcast of that fateful day and vowed revenge against the people of Earth.

Last week status: I'm not moving enough in this fricking WFH pandemic. I was wondering if I have low blood pressure because of general fatigue, dizziness when standing up, limbs falling asleep, etc. Worrisome.
Today status: I decided to do some sit-ups etc. during our weekly department meeting, because it's fucking boring anyway and I got mic/cam off. Then I realized I needed to report from
go to 2chan and bring back a picturemeet with IT and relay important announcements for which I substituted last week. Gets off the floor, scrambles through notes...

discussion at dict.leo.org tells me that's how you translate it but it feels too literal to actually be an English idiom?!
Sometimes the English language goes all literal on you, in order to lull you into a false sense of security.

Status: Hindus dindu the needful again.
About 9 years ago, I started paying my DSL bill online. I never set up a full account and just used the quick bill pay link. Every time, I had to dig up a bill to find either my account number or phone number (never used because I only signed up for DSL). Pay my bill online and the receipt was sent to my e-mail.
About 3 years ago, my parents dropped their phone service, so I jumped through the hoops to get that phone number assigned to my account. Pay my bill online and the receipt was sent to my e-mail. Just like usual. Everything worked great until today.
Today I paid a bill and the receipt went to my parents' e-mail. Because reasons. I'm also questioning the amount now too...
Of course, the contact page is useless. There is a chat button that simply does not work. There are some other options below, disabled of course, because they can't figure out where I am and at different times over the years have sworn they did not offer service in my area even though I was receiving service. Once more, the majik of 21st century technology has me using a 19th century device that fortunately hasn't been completely ruined yet.
Edit: The Indian on the phone insists the late fee for a $45 DSL bill is $15. He also claims he can't resend the payment notification. I think he just doesn't understand words and will just have to call back until I reach a person.
