So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

Wait, wait… is it actually possible for someone to be this dumb?!
Alas, yes…
I got nothing. Although it can be easy to forget names or confuse them.
Did he forget the part where Veronica is Max’s girlfriend? Maybe he thinks that she only became con director because she’s sleeping with most of the staff.
At this point it might be wise to have a professional have a talk with Terrence, what ever meds hes taking are not working.
Sarah: the girl who hated on you every time she ever saw you, unlike the rest of the staff…
…who recommended Terrence for Bork Con staff again?
No one – Terrence saw a flier and just showed up to a meeting. Bork Con has an open invitation for new people to pop into meetings to see if they’re interested in joining staff. From what it looks, if you’re interested then you start by working under someone else and gain more responsibilities the longer you stay on and prove you can handle it.
So Bork Con’s staff system is directly based on No Brand Con’s (because it’s the system I know best).
It runs with open meetings — anyone can join “general staff” just by showing up at meetings. Those “general staffers” can join committees (with the consent of the committee or department head that oversees it), but they don’t have to.
…..no Terrance…. just… no…
In what universe is “She’s not my girlfriend!” “Yes, she is.” an exchange that’s anywhere close to sane?
