Mirror, mirror.... not on the wall. 
Came home to this discovery. The mirror relocated itself. Somehow it didn't break at all, the only damage was one of the connectors on the back of the frame came loose with the wire.
I'm glad this happened while I wasn't at home. I've been watching videos that a couple engineers have been posting about the Champlain Towers collapse and I probably would have freaked out if I heard this giant mirror crashing to the ground.
I should probably stop watching those videos, lol. But they are kind of fascinating.

Either I missed a bunch of deleted posts, my ignore list has grown a little too large, or both
I am ok with this outcome.

I'd say stop watching those videos but I am just as guilty of watching videos on things you probably shouldn't watch before bed

Plenty of other internet sites to discuss pros and cons of government agencies.

Had a Bruce dream Monday night - just the usual - Bruce & I were very best friends and I was hanging out at his house, all caž and whatnot.
Tuesday morning I got a notification that I had won the Springsteen on Broadway lottery to purchase tickets for Wednesday night's show at the low low price of $80 (they normally run $75 - 850). Called my Bruce running mate and procured the tix without delay.
Wednesday would have been my mom's birthday, and the last time I saw her was a year ago on that day. She passed away 10 days later after a 10-year struggle with Parkinson's. I truly can't say if she knew I was there on that last visit, but I'm glad I went to VA in the midst of Covid.
The show is full of ghosts - Bruce's dad, his high school buddies who didn't come back from Vietnam, Clarence & Danny from the E St Band, and lastly his mom, who is now 96 but 10 years into Alzheimer's and can no longer speak, stand or feed herself. She does still recognize Bruce and reaches out to "dance" with him when he visits.
It's not really as maudlin as I'm making it sound. It's also a really funny show. He's got a lot of rock star self-deprecating humor and hilarious stories of Growin Up. Patti joins him for two songs which are a definite highlight.
All in all an emotional roller coaster, closing with a recitation of the Our Father and the message that we may live with our ghosts and even draw joy from them. He's replaced Born to Run with I'll See You in My Dreams for the closer, with my heartfelt approval.
I'll see you in my dreams
When all the summers have come to an end
I'll see you in my dreams
We'll meet and live and love again
I'll see you in my dreams
Yeah, up around the river bend
For death is not the end
And I'll see you in my dreams
We are finally going to lay Mom's ashes to rest next week on the anniversary of her death. I'm looking forward to sharing some time with my family.

So last week when I told my job I had covid my manager made a joke that I just wanted 10 days off. Now part of me wants to go to the GM and complain because I didnt find the joke funny AND this manager has a history of saying in appropriate things to people. I think I may play it by ear when I get back tho. I need to be on my best behavior so I can transfer in Jan/Feb

Was it tasteless, yes but you should have told him up front that you didn't care for his joke

Yes that's a pretty tasteless joke imo. If it was a coworker that's one thing but your boss can't make that comment.

Dudes got in trouble for his mouth before. Even as recent as like last month. Someone was already wanting to leave the department, he said something and management made it easier for the dude to leave. Whatever tho. Ill just keep to myself.

Work for a great company but like most great companies not every location is great or has the best managers.
in the last year along with covid we have gotten a new GM and 2 new AGMs and now I hear one those AGMs is leaving after she like re-did and restructured most of our floor. Good for her tho shes going to a building more suited for her.
Im glad im good with the right people in management. The GM and other AGM im on good terms with.

used to LOVE the Halloween movies. Stopped following them after Rob Zombie butchered the series.
but also Myers never dies. He was never even a magical character like freddy or jason but somehow hes become that over the years.
