It's ok to take time to figure things out. Hold it in suspense for a while and some random event will crystallize what you need into an action.
One idiot on the Internet is wishing you good luck.
OT: OT-“Look, maybe I didn’t say every single little tiny syllable, no. But basically I said them, yeah.”

Second application just sent. The jobs I'm finding are...rather varied. One subcontracts with NASA. Another works with rural schools. I think I've got a much better shot at the second, based on my background, and the kids are old enough that me traveling nationally from time to time is a lot less of a big deal than it was 8 years ago.
EDIT:
Found and applied for a third, a cybersecurity company. One way or the other, I need to GTFO of my current situation. Strongly considering telling my boss on Friday that from my perspective, I feel like I've been set up to fail with the goal of forcing me out.

That doesn't shock me. Causing a global shutdown because you let AI write your patches and don't check then probably led to a lot of rolling heads, Last Crusade style.

That must be the follow up to Zappa's "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" album.

Prolly not that one. Coin flip. It's more of a "would I rather literally or figuratively get effed in the a?"

My wife handles all the media in our household (phones, internet, viewing subscriptions) so that I don't demand we cut everything altogether and revert to paper mail, semaphore, and smoke signals and save the money each month.
We have directTV for now. Because of this ESPN dispute, somehow we're not able to get ESPN+ streaming either, even though we subscribe to that separately.
That right-hand photo above scares me. Had the Otters been around 45 years ago with the Riffs, the Rogues, Turnbull AC, the Baseball Furies, the Lizzies, etc., I'm not so sure the Warriors would have returned safely to Coney Island.

Well, Nate is living his best life as he now has to make up a lab on Thursday because his weekend trip to the Hamptons ran over into today.
And he hopes to be back to campus in time to make it to his 5pm class today.
And Nate and his roommates got signed up for the whaleboat race and ended up flipping their boat.
I wish I had video of it.

So I have been collecting the lego "Winter Village" sets for a few years now (going back to around when my kids were born), and haven't put them up in a few years even though I've been buying a new set every year (they release 1 new one every year). I think judging by my count, I last put them up in 2021 when my then almost 2 year old son decided he wanted to trample through it like Godzilla. I pulled them out of storage and am determined to get a full Christmas lego display up. I have 3 sets that are still new in box and a 4th one coming when it releases in October. Given my limited free time, probably need to start sooner rather than later if I want them all done by thanksgiving or so.
That's pretty cool. Do you have any pics of completed villages you can share? I'd like to see them.
This is from Dec 2020, last time I put what I had together. I'll be adding 5 more buildings to this (and likely increasing the track size for the train)

I didn't get a video of Nate and his friends dumping the whaleboat, but I did get one of them harpooning the whale.

Getting burnt out so taking the girls on a much needed sanity break to Krabi, so a couple days diving around James Bond island. 4 round trip tickets from Bangkok to Krabi came in at $116, with 2 beach front cottages for 3 nights at $143 total. The girls will love the Michelin star seafood restaurant across the street but doesn't do much for me

One fails to realize how many minor moves and fleeting roster/prospect concerns get missed when one barely watches sports networks and eschews social media all summer.
Thanks for the orderly team forum, folks. Nice catching up in the OT thread too. We're all just as similar to each other in some respects as we are different (jobs, family, love, health, traffic, home...)

Was wondering where the hell you went off to after returning after, what? A decade away?
