Bow Tie Tuesday
Mar. 1st, 2022 08:51 pmSometimes I wonder whether people will think that I wear this tie to support or affiliate myself with the local university.
That's never it. But today I am wearing it for the support its colors might indicate.
For the coworker tie crew today, I superimposed myself on the postcard of Kyiv I posted the other day. See that, plus me against my handily adjacent blue & yellow walls, ( back here. )
Big stress time at work, with logistics of new hires, and people going back to the office. I did put in paperwork for more flexibility on going in to the office. Hope they approve it.
Such dread for what's happening in Ukraine. Remember Aleppo? How long ago was that? Time is so fuzzy any more.
I replaced my rear windshield wiper and went to the mall, to walk around and fake drive at the California Cruisin' game in the tiny "fun" store. Getting out was good. Tomorrow's going to be a long sprint, and I'll be surprised if I don't flat-out pass out as soon as I get home.

a special Dreamwidth-only post
Mar. 1st, 2022 08:51 pmHello. I've been using importing to back up my livejournal periodically, but that's been a pretty unreliable service this past year. I hear that crossposting to lj by posting here is also not working too well. So I reckon I'll take a tip from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
elainegrey and just double-post.
It's pretty weird that I still post at livejournal, I know. Not only is it so dwindled a community---like a mall much sparser than the one I was walking in tonight---but it's got the Russian complications. You now have to pay them in rubles, and you gotta wonder if the price is being inflated like crazy, with the rest of the ruble action this week. I suppose they might break out the censorship on US/nonCyrillic accounts any time. No doubt they're censored to the folks within Russia.
But I dunno. I guess it's a form of perversity, my persisting there. And I'm quick with the coding for a postcard, sized a certain size for the old standard size card and another certain size for the "continental" size that took over 40 or 50 years ago. Plus of course only some folks came over here. And I've just never switched up the habit. Heck, a couple of real-world people who (among the few) look for my postcards there never did have active livejournals of their own.
Anyway, hello, Dreamwidth. Hello, folks who are here.
