Both on the bed mid-morning. So I opened the blinds for them to sun.
I'm up and down today. Tried to complete the Unemployment documents yesterday, and after spending a lot of time accurately answering the questions about why I left, the site kicked me out without warning, saving or reason. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Poured out my raw pain in carefully neutral and precisely chosen language, and ... poof. I will write it elsewhere and save it, copy paste and finish the application tomorrow morning. Then start my job search.

The problematic aide at my former job was likely her brother. A troll, a sealion, a walking AskReddit post, a bully and a misogynist at 19. Lumpen fool.
I will never roll bias bandages ever again for the one surgeon who used them. A job I took on long ago because it wasn't getting done well, and I was working with said surgeon - and getting chewed out about them being too short. It wasn't a bad job, I could roll up several months' worth in about 15-20 minutes, if I had the time and there were the steel OR tables available. Rarely got help, which was silly of them, because I had a really efficient system, it wasn't hard, and anyone looking to stay a bit longer to get their hours in could have milked it nicely.
Not my circus. Not my monkeys.
Spent a long time in the garden, thinning the sunflowers, pulling the spiky-seed grass. Oiled the hand mower, to keep the mint along the edge short this summer.

A sealion ... I have made the acquaintance of one such creature ... ach!
Rou,
They are truly miserable sorts to deal with. "But I was just asking a question!"
Peace. Your cat photos are remarkable.
Websites that don't allow you to save your entries as you go along are the absolute pits. They don't even tell you up front that you can't save, which, while annoying, would warn you to write your text elsewhere. You only find out the hard way. Gah!
As for sealions - I've seen this term a few times recently but haven't clicked where it's come from. Do enlighten me!
Your cats look so happy.
Beautiful cat photos.
Copy and paste is a good idea..oh for paper application forms!!
Gentle,
The link is to the Wondermark cartoon that coined and explained the term.
I re-wrote the answers this morning. Got up, had breakfast, showered, dressed, walked around the block, wrote. I'll put in the application by 9AM.
Cat, GZ,
The light was just so good.
