That is similar to how I fold T-shirts
Our filings are sometimes so infrequent and poorly organized that I had to go to ratefilings.com just to figure out what we did ten years ago.

Yeah, same. I used to pile things in my dresser but then you can’t see what all is in there without making a mess. I think I got the idea of going vertical from one of those Marie Kondo (sp?) shows. I didn’t learn a ton from her, I guess, because believe me I have a LOT of crap in my house that brings me no joy.
that’s weird

The bathtub has just been cleaned. The dog needs a bath. Think I’ll kick that can down the road a bit.
One of the more useful takeaways from my Combinatorics class in college, after counting the number of words you can make subject to the “I before E except after C” constraint plus a few others regarding vowels, was that the movie title Weird Science violates both “I before E” (weird) and “except after C” (science).
That class taught me how to spell “weird”.

A woman i used to like on another forum had spent a lot of time in homeless shelters. She recommended showing with clothes on as a way to maintain personal privacy without owning towels, and also to keep her clothes clean.
She used to post from the public library. Sadly, i haven’t heard from her since the pandemic lockdowns. 
I’ll risk my jeans to the washing machine, though. I think they are good for 3-5 wearings, maybe only 1 if i do some heavy work. But if I’m mostly wearing them indoors, sitting at the computer, 5 is generally fine.
Except for socks and underwear, most clothing is okay for a couple of wearings, except for the stuff i exercise in; that gets put in the hamper as i head for the shower.
Management keeps asking me to opine about whether or not we’re getting a fair deal on our company’s health insurance and, now that we are self-insured, our reinsurance. Which is fine, I’m not a benefits guy but I probably know more than anyone else how to think it through. The problem is every time they ask, I get an email with relevant info and I’m asked to discuss it in two hours. Yeah, I’ll give you an answer but it’s going to be half-assed because I have no time to really read it.

I’m on a Zoom call but my video is not working. The camera light is on, so I’m puzzled. Turns out there’s a no video button next to F12 on my work laptop.

Working at 8pm on a Friday because of a last minute deal.
God, life sucks sometimes.

Supposed to be quiet today, was going to get caught up on some writing. Instead, I’ve been on the phone all day, nonstop, which is exhausting. Still have another call to make and it’s 4:35.
I guess that’s not bad, it’s all business. But like, how about calling me on Monday folks.

Obligatory “You don’t wanna lose this deal!!!”
Well, there is a price to be paid for a generous corporate expense account.
And working on a Friday night is one of those things.
I am always “on call”.

I once worked at a place that used that as their documentation source. “If we didn’t put it in the filing, we probably didn’t need it - and if we do, we’ll make it up.”

Got a ticket at 4:41 PM. Apparently the parking spot only became free at 5. Thought it was free all weekend.
$10 gone.

I live in a town whose summer time population is much higher than the year round population. This means that during summer, trash collection takes a lot longer b/c there is a lot more of it, and the garbage on my street doesn’t get picked up until early afternoon. In the fall, it tends to get picked up much earlier, maybe around 9, which is still late enough that I often don’t set it out until the morning.
Woke up this morning to the sound of the garbage truck backing down the street. No trash pickup for me today.

If you got a parking ticket for $10 that’s pretty good. And really you’re only out [$10 - cost of parking for 19 minutes].
and $10 is pretty cheap way to teach one the importance of reading the parking rules
