ME: I speak English plus a little French, Russian, and Spanish. Most European languages have enough similarities to at least one of those that I'm fairly confident that I can at least order a coffee, figure out the way to the airport, and identify major landmarks.

But that's my emotional support pile of old computer parts. 😭

I think I would have made a pretty good systems analyst. If I had known what one was in high school and been remotely encouraged to pursue IT as a career path.

I had to switch my computer to light mode so I can take screenshots and oh, the humanity.

I blame violent cartoons.

OPTOMETRIST: How many computer monitors do you use?

ME: Just the one.

I just wanted eye drops. Replicants need eye care too. 🙁

The neighbors's cat is once again mocking #Dog with its very existence.

By "Not available", do they mean the sun?

It is currently -7° C here. I just tried to put Dog's coat on to take him out for his midday walk, and he immediately walked off up the stairs and refused to come down until I put the coat down. So I'm taking that as a "no".

Please send your thoughts and prayers to #Dog. He is being forced to lie on the cold, hard floor while I reassemble my PC and put my office back together, and he is unused to such treatment.

Inside you there are two linguists.

Honestly both the linguists probably need a grilled cheese and a hug. #Language #English #TwoWolves

Had to take #Dog's little sweater off because it was rubbing on his front legs. He's still keeping warm though.

What if I have neither of those things, but optimistically imagine that I can learn really fast?

Dog is enjoying his favorite place in the entire world.

My overly-attached dog has come to inform me that it is walk time.
