So the HR guy wasn't in today, but another manager checked my attendance/PTO list and I was listed present for every day and only the one PTO so it's not the weekend/day off schizopost.
So, another schizopost: I changed shifts last month, starting with the week I had a monday off and I'm missing four day's pay. So maybe he accidentally set the pay using the old shift's attendance. because I know, they managers have talked about it before, each shift has their own attendance lists and when someone changed shifts before they were listed in both lists; absent in the old one and present in the new one.

But anyway, I won't know for sure until tomorrow so whatever.
Besides, I didn't get to schizopost during anime watch today since it was cancelled, so I had to get my kicks somewhere else.

Of course schizoposting was wrong.
I was a dumbass in February and forgot to account for the extra pay from weekends when making the estimated revenue declaration so the tax went from 10% to 30% since I went over the declared amount.
 
Boy howdy, t'aint even but a time since December started. We ain't even double digits yet. Yet, November went so quickly by... Hm. Alright. o7. Morning gentlemen. May it find you well enough.

I got food poisoning last night, had to repent my transgressions multiple times. Good news is I probably lost a pound or two in explosive fashion, bad news is the weight's the kind that just comes right back. I was unable to cultivate the experience into my dao, unfortunately.

There is a cat sitting on me and purring. I do not own a cat. I am in my house. I have no guests today. I do not know where this cat came from. I doubt this cat belongs to anyone.

Incorrect. You now own a cat. The Cat Distribution System has chosen you.
 
morning. o7. game awards today, although with a name like that, you'd think there wouldn't be so many announcements for new games

What kind of cat has found you? What does it look like? Fur color? Eye color?

Female, marmalade orange, yellow eyes. Kinda young, I think? Maybe less than a year old.

The cat's got an eye that wanders a little bit. Not a lot, but occasionally one eye will be locked onto me and the other will be looking somewhere off to the side. Not sure what that means, healthwise?

An AI breed detector app says she's probably an American Shorthair. Also she has six toes for some reason, well five and a dewclaw. I counted because her paws looked sorta weird, and both front paws have six toes. The back paws have four and a dewclaw.

Good morning. o7. I hope sleep finds you all well enough these nights.

I find driving a fascinating sink of time when on the road. Actually, let me qualify that; I find the observation of other people driving a fascinating sink of time. I am of the belief that you can learn a lot about people from their mannerisms on the road.

Do they drive over the limit, under, at? How many tailgate? How many pass by, how many follow in packs, how many drive in solitude? How many signal before a turn? How long do they wait at a stop, or if they bother? So much more.

It used to be a joke that you could tell a lot about a person by the choice in car. I find the how driven equally fascinating. I drive standard transmission. I doubt very many people on the road understand just how uncomfortable starting from motion is. I am not a gifted driver. I cannot rev match my unsychro'd first gear within 200 rpm's on a consistent basis. It is far more comfortable to stop completely and let the engine spin down before putting it in gear. And yet that half-second is a personal affront to most people. I love the game of stop-and-go at a four way intersection. I love being tailgated while already above the limit.

Cars are such a myriad expression of behavior. I wish more studies were done on this. But really though, I wish I drove a hundred grand truck like I could pay cash, how these people do.
