We don’t have a max capacity sign in our parish hall, and we’re thinking about having an event. We called the fire marshal to come and let us know what our maxcap is. He came yesterday. Today my junior warden presented me with a report detailing 7 violations, a failed inspection, and a requirement to get up to code.

I am grateful for the few drops of rain over the past few days, but not for the green pool and now the R2k for chemicals to fix it.... #dammit #firstworldproblems

the thing that drives me NUTS when watching tv shows is the shot of two characters driving in a car, and the driver CONSTANTLY turns their head away from the road to carry on the conversation. #WATCHTHEROAD #DAMMIT
it’s beyond maddening, especially because once in a while, one of the tv shows will take the opportunity to stage an “unexpected” car crash.

One of the hardest things for me to deal with as a priest is this: you put the Christmas service schedule (including only one service today) on the website, in every bulletin for the past month, in every church email that goes out, on the answering machine, and on the doors to the building, and still someone shows up an hour late because they didn’t know it was at 9:00 instead of 10:00.

Well my husband tested positive for covid. Awesome. At least he doesn't feel very sick, just a little run down. I left the stupid in person office when he called me in case I have it even though I don't feel sick. Now I'm hiding in my office with Watson and some cats. #Covid #Dammit

TFW you so cleverly and carefully attach a SMT quartz crystal to the legs of an 8-pin chip you *thought* was a DS1307 RTC ... but it turned out to be an LM386 amplifier instead

when you have a brainwave and hurriedly outline the entire next chapter and then aren't actually able to sit down and write it aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh

Not me being a professional independent professional and fucking up my invoices! #dammit

Oh. The sportsbots are down again. That's why my TL was such a ghost town earlier today. #Dammit

eARC is an invention of the devil, designed to plunge home AV nerds off a cliff in desperation.

Who ever thought stuffing video, audio, Ethernet, copy protection and everything bidirectional between devices from different manufacturers into a single cable in the most complicated form possible was a good idea?!?

I take your CEC and flog it with a Toslink cable.

The wind is HORRENDOUS today. We’re fishing furniture out of the pool. & we lost one of our #DarkBrandon heads. #dammit

Was just notified that my bishop has been deposed. Not exactly the news I needed going into the Triduum and Easter.

One of my agencies has a fire and the other has a dive rescue. I’m stuck at home in isolation. #dammit

Cool terms — increasingly useful, unfortunately — for that pesky tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon, "the inability to remember the correct word":

lethologica

or

letholexia

Hmm. Oh no: have I posted about these before?
