Dispatches from Asteroid Hopkins

learning curve

The Wife had a dentist appointment, which left her with a headache, which is a way to sum up the day.

Kirby was brilliant by calling a training doll from a Turtles sewer playset made to look like Shredder, a mock-up. When did he learn that word? After that, i realised how much he'd grown since that time we brought him home. Parent nostalgia.

Checked with my union council if it is possible to reduce hours for a while. "Of course it's possible; but not here." was the answer i got. But they took pity, and will have a talk with HR. Another colleague worked a year on less hours, he suffered a panic attack that ended in a bout of broken heart syndrome, from which he had to be resuscitated via defibrillator. My theory, of having to chafe the edge of death to facilitate change or just receiving a modicum of recognition that i'm not well.

Got a comic display case, and it doesn't look like it's worth the price… It's a learning process.
