hey there!

Hey, DreamWidth! It has been a while.

Good to see that there's still some people posting here? I had fallen out of the habit but I'm thinking I should post to this journal more. (Social media, ugh: Facebook is still evil, right? And Instagram is owned by Facebook, right? Twitter, I mean X, definitely very evil; Bluesky probably has the addictive qualities that Twitter used to have, and if it's trying to be "the new Twitter", it probably is geared to really short tweets, not what I'm looking for; LinkedIn is for job-hunting and such, and thus an inappropriate place to be really blunt about politics and personal things; Signal is geared towards more personal conversations. Is there anywhere else I should be???-- Well, this would be the audience that thinks that DreamWidth is the right answer!)

Anyway, a 30-second update:
* I am employed;
* Vic (my offspring) still goes by Vic;
* Vic is doing alright; employed, still in college, just learned to drive;
* I am completely dismayed by the current political situation, my rage is bottomless;
* I currently have one cat, extremely cute and sweet

Hi there! I'm over here, trying to avoid the FB cesspool, and failing. But the stuff I put here is more personal and longer.

We also have a cat, Gracie. Who is old and a pest and extremely cuddly.

How is the job going? We arrived at the Selkirks just as you were leaving. Your professional hair treatment is lovely, but I'll admit a little hard to get used to. But you have a job!

Now that I have made my first impressions at the new job, I will probably let my hair grow out. It is impossible to tie back at this length. Too short to stay in a hairband but long enough to get in my face and get annoying. Also there's always so much else going on (especially with M-F 9-5 reserved for work, and all of the rest of life squished into the margins of the day/week) so I probably just won't get around to getting to the salon. So, you might not have to get used to the 'do!

Job goes OK. I'll try to post more later on that, either here on on LinkedIn.

Hi! I'm here, but I comment only occasionally and post almost never. Should maybe work on that.

Hi, happy to hear from you! Catching up on pandemic-deferred mostly-routine medical maintenance has me posting in bursts and not commenting much but I'm still here. Looking forward to whatever you choose to share.
