By the time NYE rolls around, I’m tired of festivities, not just because my social battery gets deleted, but also because the food served at gatherings really sets off my IBS. This time of year I opt out of as much holiday stuff as I can without upsetting anyone, and I almost never do anything special for the new year.

Yeah, aka we want to RIF but are too cheap to pay severance.

I still use minidiscs!

Among American users, this probably has a lot to do with the recent election.

Not enough jeans. :(

Real answer: there’s been an uptick in the amount of content lately, which is great. I’ve also unfortunately noticed an uptick in belligerent comments, which often detracts from the conversations taking place.

I quit my PhD program in Physics because the misery wasn’t going to be worth the eventual paycheck, especially because I refused to work for contractors in the military-industrial complex. I ended up working for a while and got an MS in Applied Statistics, which is meh. Physics actually interested me. Statistics bored the shit out of me but it was useful for the field I ended up in. But now I’m retired, which is pretty satisfying!

True! But I guess young adult readers don’t tend to be as discerning, which is why I never expect the writing to be any good.

I pronounce spigot as “spicket” but that’s normal where I’m from.

My mom had a couple of weird ones that took me a while to unlearn:

Stipend = “stipp-ind”
Antibiotics = “antee-BEE-otics”

Yeah I’m from NJ and same, but more like wooder.

Also orange = oar-inge
Florida = floor-duh

And of course glottal stops everywhere:

kitten = kih’-in
Trenton = chre’-in
