Cat-ching some sunny Zs!
Good morning. I hope you slept well.
The laundry is mostly done, but the important thing is that I’m out of the laundry room. However, the cost of the laundry has gone up since last week, by 25¢ a machine. Usually, it’s just the washers that go up, but the next increase includes the dryers. Here, it’s all of them. Can’t win for losing.
At least I didn’t leave anything behind this time — except money.
Good morning. Happy Monday.
We seem to have survived the weekend. Not that it was all that difficult this time.
The weekend had lots of this kind of thing:

Y’know that thing where you have this kinda complex, technical system all sorted out, accommodating the various needs of many involved users, and you have it tuned, and working like a Swiss watch for months and months and months, and nobody else cares to know how it’s all set up, because no time / no interest / too technical / >lame excuse here< but you made decent documentation and put it in the archive against the fateful day...
...and then someone came along without asking, knowing this system was in place and functional, but too smart by half for their own good, thinking they were going to make a good thing better...
[cue the ominous, minor key music, here]
...and they took the archive offline...
[more ominous music]
...and on their oblivious way to tech Nirvana, they cratered the system.
[crescendo of crashing cymbals, thundering tympani, blaring horns — sudden silence]
...and now you’re The Bad Guy because you made a Swiss watch that met everyone’s needs but wasn’t fool-proof?
