Morning people. First day back at work in 12 days, most spent sick; I fear my in box.

[jessecuster3]

Good morning, nerds.


Playing hooky today.

[Guapo Méndez]

Morning.
First day back to work and we got a power failure. We have a backup generator, but the battery was bad and it didn't start automatically. We had to rig a car battery to it to make it work.

[Guapo Méndez]

And I need to rewrite chapter one.

Spent the first hour getting caught up on meeting info by my supervisor, organized into piles all the paperwork from my inbox, now I am wading through e-mails; on the positive, no voice mails!

I got some more news regarding my great uncle Volf. The doctors say he doesnt have pneumonia, but in fact has lung cancer. Im very upset right now.

That's very sad indeed. Did they catch it early at least?

No but thats irrelevant.They wouldnt be able to do chemo or surgery anyways. He is too old. Im shaken up by this as he and I are very close.

Morning, nerds. On the early morning shift this week; people don't stop by very often so I could stream and catch up on Game of Thrones but the occasional nudity may not be a good idea if a co-worker does waltz into the little transmissions cave.

Maybe you need a transplant. I recommend adamantium.

But without a healing factor he'll contract adamantium poisoning and die.

No, it's Crabapple.

What? This whole time I've been calling her Crandall! Why didn't someone tell me?

It never gets easy, but as we get older, we have to learn to deal with letting go of the old generation... It's the way of life, and one thing we can do to make sure they live a life without too much tragedy is to outlive them. A parent losing a child can destroy a person, a child losing a parent is the way it should be, as painful and unfair as it feels when it happens.
