May. 20th, 2026 07:43 pmCrazy Org is having a bad week. First the railroad strike. Then issues on subways - with various delays...and well... one of its cars caught fire and exploded.
The disabled were also protesting out front of the building about twenty four elevators being out of commission and not having enough elevators. (Sigh. They aren't wrong.) And maybe Crazy Org should consider settling that law suit with the elevator repair company, so they could have elevators.
Other than that, it was business as usual.
The weather got funky. It made it into the upper 90s in the city today (with the humidity felt like a 100 degrees) then we had a huge thunderstorm and the temperatures are rapidly dropping into the 50s and 60s by morning. It's 75 degrees now, after being around 98 degrees at 4pm. The storm was rather brutal.

18. There are hundreds of different shapes of pasta – Farfalle (butterflies), Campanelle (little bell flowers), Orecchiette (little ears), Rigatoni (ridged), amongst others. Which is your favourite pasta shape to have with a sauce?
Marconi, although rigatoni can be fun.
19. How’s your gut microbiome? Your gut is linked to your immune system, so eating a large variety of plants each week (at least 30), and eating fermented foods regularly (such as live yoghurt, kefir, fresh sauerkraut and kimchi) is said to have a huge impact on your gut health and therefore your weight and immune system. Do you make an effort to do that every week?
Yes. ( Read more... )
20. It’s International Customer Support Day. When was the last time you had to contact customer support? Were they able to help you?
Sigh. I think it was Amazon, and kind of? Customer Support has become increasingly difficult to deal with since the advent of AI. AI makes a horrid customer support specialist. I gave up on Optimum's which is even worse - they just type in a set script and get upset with you when you go off script. I'd rather have the AI.
21. It’s International Tea Day – do you like a cup of tea every now and again? What type of tea do you drink?
Yes - definite tea drinker. ( Read more... )
