Karma?

I've had the same roommate for years at Midwest FurFest - with him only missing one as he'd moved.

He was laid off from his government job a month ago. His attendance is understandably in doubt, though we've got time to spare to determine this.

My plans for an Alaska trip this summer hit the wall of finances for friends who were interested, so I made alternate mini-vacation plans. One to Myrtle Beach with a friend, and one with my husband.

My friend has suffered a family emergency involving a significant number of dollar signs. Right now, he is unlikely to be able to join but has asked me to check in with him in a month.

I don't know who's karma is coming back to get them, but it is causing me frustration.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

Phone woes. Email woes. Texting woes.

So my current plan is to stop off at Best buy tomorrow when I'm kicking around in Baltimore, and say hey, it feels like everything about this phone is wrong. I am getting texts half hour to an hour after they're sent, texts I send aren't necessarily even going through, everything refreshes weirdly, the system UI keeps crashing, it's unconscionably slow, and if I'm listening to audio on sub stack it sounds like it's underwater and YouTube is no longer willing to play in the background even though I pay for it.

The text thing is especially problematic because it's already a miracle if I notice email that comes to me on my main accounts because I have so much other random stuff that I mean granted it's partly because sub-stack adds you to emails all over the place and I need to figure out how to undo that.

This post brought to you by my having happened to notice a reference to something I thought there was a possibility I was invited to and so I went searching through my email and eventually found something at the end of January and then had to look up whether it conflicted with something else I'm committed to and found that date from an email near the end of January...

And also hopefully I haven't pointed poison to myself with overly old tortellini.

Anyway, I'm really hoping that showing up at a Contra dance doesn't count as moderate activity in terms of avoid moderate or strenuous activity the day before this particular study thing because I would really like to get to Contra tonight up in Baltimore.

So very tired.

Anyway, a pretty good rule of thumb is that if you haven't gotten a reply from me for something it's quite likely I have for whatever reason either not gotten that message or not seen that message or maybe saw the message meant to get back to it and didn't. I will never be upset with getting something like a.. or a question mark follow up. Somehow double ?? Follow up gives me a stress response.
