Cum Omnibus Coloribus Venti Pingere

not a big as all the other big wins tonight, but the millage renewal for the library i work at passed with 73% of the vote.

this means out library is funded for another 10 years. If it failed we would have lost 1/3 of our budget and had to slash staff, hours, collections, programs & digital resources.

we’re also in the thick of a massive renovation, which was a different funding stream but caused a lot of confusion and assholes on FB kept posting misinformation.

this is such a big relief!

support your public libraries y'all, we’re struggling but we make do!

someone ran a red light today & hit my car

hand hurt after & started swelling later, 1.5 hours in urgent care & x-rays

broke my metacarpal (knuckle) bone (thankfully non-dominant hand)

In a cast for the next 3-5 weeks 😔

The bruising is gnarly but improving.

this is the only pic i could find of my cat wearing the cone

obvious he was still able to use my textbooks as a pillow, the cone actually probably made it more comfortable

so we would just unvelcro it and fold it down & we could revelcro it around his shoulder so he could eat

it has enough structure that he couldn’t reach his body to mess with stitches, but soft enough to bend under his head when he would lay down

from what i remember, those thing strips had thin metal for structure, and the rest was like soft padding

this was one for a small dog & it had multiple velcro strips so you could tighten as needed

So a senator in Late Republican Rome is running late for the day’s session of the senate. He comes into the senate chamber about 15 minutes late, and Cicero is out the front giving a speech. The senator quietly sits down next to one of his friends, and asks “Have I missed much? What’s he talking about?”
To which his friend replies:”I haven’t got a clue, he hasn’t even gotten to the verb yet.”

I can’t believe this actually got some notes

i’m so glad i found this post again

when i was doing my undergrad in classical civilizations, i told this joke to my latin professor

he loved it so much that when i graduated 2 years later, i was presented with an ancient coin award for excellence in latin

i was totally surprised and he told me it was specifically because of this joke

i actually got a real ancient coin for it, from another professor’s personal collection (i had him for an ancient coin class as well)

so thanks OP, i still tell this joke periodically, though i tend to have to explain cicero to the unfamiliar

if i can find the coin, i’ll reblog with a picture

just realized I left my laptop cord at work, which won’t be open again until Monday.

I have 3 assignments due Mon/Tues, so I can’t wait that long, so I ordered a replacement with Prime and it should get here on Satuday

We’re getting tables delivered for an event tomorrow night at my work, and one of the guys setting up is wearing a platform 9 ¾ hoodie.

so i started my new job last week, working 3 days

i was scheduled off for this monday because i had to go to the doctor, but supposed to work Tues-Fri

Tues morning I woke up nauseated and thought it was because of the Tylenol #3 (e/ codeine) i was prescribed that was making me sick

so 3 days of nausea, 2 days of not eating, and 3 days of missed work, i went to the walk-in clinc this morning and they confirmed that i have the stomach flu again

so i’m missing my entire 2nd week at my new job

luckily my managers have been understanding and the doctor gave me a note and some nausea pills

so i went to the clinc on thursday and they gave me the nausea med and said i had stomach flu and would feel better over the weekend.

by saturday taking the nausea pill in the morning wasn’t working and i’d only be able to eat after i took the second pill around 7-8pm

so i went back to the clinc today (Mon 7/31 - my very last day of insurance coverage since i turned 26 a week ago), and the doc said my stomach flu should have already cleared up, so it must be a bowl infection

he gave me more nausea pills and an antibiotic, which will hopefully work
