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.

Not to be “that guy”, but you have a typo. Garner’s word bubble says “how MAN hours have you worked”…
Don’t worry man, if you hadn’t, I would have.
Ugh, I gendered you based on your avatar… Sorry if I’m off-base.
Ugh. Thanks. I’ve fixed it.
You aren’t the first or the last to do it. Just about everyone I’ve seen with a comic that’s gone long term has put one up at one time or another. At least you didn’t end up with a typo that made the speech all seriously capital W wrong.
Oh, I do it all the time — I just usually notice and fix it within an hour of the comic going live 😛
I have been in Sarah’s shoes.
I split my time between the game room, dealers room, and working more security with nothin’ else to do. And the latter and the former often doubled up as ‘game room monitoring’, which I was able to do while playing games.
Sounds to me like it’s time for a nap…. then again, I tend to spend Con running a panel until 6am.
How much you wanna bet there’s a requirement of 16 hours worked to maintain a staff position? I know my con has that requirement.
If Sarah works teardown, that would give her at least one more hour (and many cons count double points for work done during teardown)
