Full time skunk, part time golden retriever. I love to make your convention something special to remember.
We booked a cruise today also... DBruin's 50th birthday will line up close to the Joco 2027 cruise. It's like a nerdy convention cruise. We have been watching videos on it a few years. Ex. Formal night is dress your best! Ren Faire, ball gown, star fleet. I know what my most expensive suit is.

Tonight I am older. I have culver's, cake and dogs so it's a good year. A nice husband to go get cake doesn't hurt either. Thank you for the too many wishes today all.

I have a project at work that is just burning me out. It's a massive project searching for cost savings ideas. They keep wanting us to use AI and as idea generation for these types of topics, AI is terrible. I'm essentially being forced to create project teams for terrible ideas now.

Someone at work said they want to come to MFF and that just blew me away. Maybe I'm a good salesman. I really hope they come. Its a really cool person.

At a normal business everyone is hired for their expertise in a field. They might be good or bad at it, but they have a foundation. At a con, some people are experts but a lot are just really devoted and willing to put in the work.

We were having a conversation about how dumb the 6-7 thing is and it occurred to me that in grade school we all had these wierd little memes and we weren't on Twitter and all that so everyone's was different to their school. That could be a fun panel. We did some bizzare/terrible stuff.

Heading back home from BLFC. I just hunt around cons trying to find skunk stuff. Skunk merch is rare.

I was alone in the elevator when someone did that run to just barely stop it in time. I pressed the door open button to be nice. The door opened, he got on and then he started coughing and hacking like he was super sick. What in the fuck dude. I'm hitting the door close button next time.

They took my parent's gardener. They have a very small house in an old folks community but they are in their 80s, they can't do that work. He was literately just getting food at Culver's and got picked up. This isn't making America better, it's just fucked up.

The sears tower can light up with certain colors which is interesting from a marketing point of view, but fucked when you consider it's a way for billionaires to spend a few dozen grand to get a 5 second blurb on the news I've already forgotten

If you ever wonder how terrible the people are in your town, look at your local Facebook groups. A new grocery store just got announced in a poorer area of my town that is more than a mile from any other and everyone is saying how it's going to get robbed and shut down.

Shed continues. It's like a mini house. Next step is literally "put 300 nails in the roof" Vidar bought a special roofing nail gun. We need to get it weatherproofed/shingled before he goes on vacation next week.

We saw Wierd Al last night in Madison. A row behind us was a child that when it came to certain songs he knew every single word and was belting them out. It made the show better in a way.

We've spent a week making a huge shed. I did not realize how much this would suck. I feel like we should find something fun to do with this before we fill it with stuff.
