So, yeah. That's how my life's been here lately. How've y'all been?

Oh, right. Nursing school. Remember how I was going to become an EMT? Yeah, turns out, not a hugely trans-friendly area to go into. I mean, it mightn't be the worst once I transition, but right now? No bueno. But, the doctor at the trans clinic suggested ER nursing, and, after some thinking and looking, I decided to go for it. So, I had advising on the 3rd, and it went well enough that I'll be returning to UTA in the spring as a (pre)nursing student!

Oh, yeah, I have a phone interview today. I applied as a transporter at a nearby hospital. I figure it'd be a good way into healthcare. They called to schedule an interview after seeing the screening form I sent them, so that's a good sign. Hopefully, all goes well. I could use the job, and, well, apparently, this hospital will pay for your nursing school, so that would *really* help!

So, my phone broke. Another 5X lost. Except I actually got this one to keep going. (Good thing, too, as I have *two* important phone calls today!) Tried to flash a BLoD patch, but it wouldn't boot, so I dirty flashed a BLoD patched Lineage 17 ROM and it's working again. Hopefully it holds up long enough to get through these calls. (And hopefully the phone interview goes well so I can get a job and afford to get a new, not-broken phone!)

I look forward to the day microsoft decides to bring back XENIX

Yeah, I decided to go with the milling head. I though about going for the lathe spindle—you know, mount a four-jaw or something—but I figure the milling stuff'd be more useful.

Trying to get the cat to stop messing with the Christmas tree:
Me: If you don't get out from under the tree, I'm gonna stick a bow on you!
Mom: You know that's not gonna work, ri--
Cat: *Gets out from under tree*
Mom: OH.

@devurandom@cybre.space After doing a bit of research, no, that's not why it's called the Super Bowl. It's actually part of a tradition of "Bowl Games" which started with the Rose Bowl, named after the stadium in which it was played (which, incidentally, was named after a tournament that the Rose Bowl was a part of, The Tournament of Roses). Other bowls, like the Cotton Bowl were created due to the Rose Bowl's popularity. The Super Bowl is a part of this etymological lineage.

Trying to decide if I want to switch on over to Windows and """obtain""" misnomer 2077 just to see how bad it is. One the one hand, it could be a time, if not a fun time. On the other, do I really want to swap hard drives and all that just to play that pile of shit?
