taxes done for another year. got a notice of asessment back within 30 seconds. maybe some human will check it but it is pretty standard so I doubt it. Nice refund. I like this automated filing thing.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 uggh I hate this time of year.

okay, taking a guide dog to the united states is a pain now. apparently this dept of transportation form is fillable but it sure isn't tagged correctly. not sure I even need it since I am coming on a Canadian carrier. instructions are not at all clear.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 sigh. 2024 and accessibility is not a priority. Rage inducing.

I swear they should sell survival kids for parents based on a kids' age. No one warns you how bad 12 is. 😒

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 can he take my 12, too? Cuz I may not survive until I get to send her to camp for a week.

and here we go with a 36 hour outage of internet. Robbers is upgrading the infrastructure in this area apparently. glad someone reads me the mystery papers by the elevators.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 oh ouch. I guess that means you're in the office to work?

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 that doesn't sound like a fun day. Hopefully, it's at least not a long one. I'd say maybe the outage will end quickly, but it's Rogers. Lol.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 and that's if everything goes according to plan. Any Saturday or Sunday night plans?

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 I am going to work at being conscious, and we are catching up! I miss you

we are moving to a new building in the summer. this will mean having to cross my least favorite intersection in the city every day. this sucks! I hope there are some good parts to this new building that was just built.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 wait.. what? I thought you were staying put because cheap?

The things I have learned about #ADP today and getting mobility devices paid for. Now I can see why so many #disabled people are getting screwed.
It's not ADP screwing people it's ODSP because of course it is. 🙄

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 It absolutely fucking does and I swear I am SO mad because disabled people are people dammit. It shouldn't be this hard to live.

how do I keep doing this. too many computers again. got a couple of mini desktop things I must get someone to take photos of so I can put adds up. Really love these small form factor things some of which are quite powerful.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 Is there such a thing as too many computers? I don't know lol

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 I wouldn't know so I defer to your expertise LOL

hmmm, got a message from a recruiter offering me 200 k for basically the same job I am doing now. Half tempted but many of these recruiters are full of crap. Might apply and ssee what happens.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 OMG! That is amazing.

alright, annual performance review meeting in a couple of hours. Despite working for a big organization where this is a very formal thing for the last 5 years, these always stress me out. Mostly creating the documentation for it. I talk to my manager basically every day so there will be no surprises but still.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 you got this. Anxiety just likes to screw with us.

well, went to walk in clinic. Once I got past where is your carer and how did you get here by yourself, seems I have Acute bronchitis. Hopefully doesn't last too long. being short of breath from normal things like walking the dog a couple of blocks really suck!

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 Sigh. I want to say all the angry things you know me to say when this happens. Rage inducing. I am sorry my dear. This may be the universe nudging you to stop smoking you know. That can not be helping.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 LOL It makes the nic fit go away but that is the wrong kind of better

My tween has lost the use tech and internet at home indefinitely. How's your Sunday going? #parenting

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 She figured out how to delete the record of tech time and what apps have been running and for how long. Then tried to lie and say she didn't do it. So the closest she gets to the internet at home is watching tv.

pen_and_pixel,

@bmoore123 I am so blown away by it. I don't usually have stuff like this coming at me. I was so disappointed. I think once she realised that she knew she fucked up bad. She has been much more cuddly and trying to have time with me since. She would rather me be mad than disappointed.
