My office said that I could wear jeans in the office tomorrow.
I have worn nothing but gym shorts for months.

You may experience some short-term irritation. It will pass.

Short-term? What, only 200 turns?
There's plenty of words I'd use to describethe Civ games, but "short" isn't one of them
In other news, when we said goodbye to the last doggie, we assumed we'd be rescue-free 'till the next year....But guess not! All those people wishing a "happy new year with lots of love/dogs" will apparently turn out to be right.
Wife's gone to the shelter now to pick up the latest: an old little dachshund who's always been with just the one old lady... But she's now in the hospital and it looks like she won't be coming back. Either way, it turns out she hasn't really been able to take care of her dog properly for quite some time (ingrown nails, felted coat, etc).
Guess I'll be home alone with a doggie tonight.

Did you find all the overpowered hidden items?
I found enough of them to make the big fights trivial. What a cute game. I hope the sequel will be as adorable.
It may have to wait for Dragon Quest though.
I have developed a taste for Evan Williams Green Label Bourbon. It has been fucking canceled. The #2 best selling whiskey in America, and *POOF* it is gone.
Are they just not able to keep going due to COVID conditions?
No I think they want the extra $3 a bottle for the Black Label.
And I think they moved the Green Label production over to the flavored whiskeys.
I’ve moved to Canadian whiskey because of the money grab from bourbon distillers. Bourbon I used to buy 10-15 years ago is now $10+ more a bottle for some magical reason.No I think they want the extra $3 a bottle for the Black Label.

Revel Stoke is good enough for me.
I'm about to whine about a five day vacation.
My wife and I spent the new years holiday with her family. Her parents mentioned that they and some of their friends are going on a five-day trip around Taiwan in early February, and invited us to come along. My wife wants to go, and that means I need to go too, because otherwise she'd likely need to share a hotel room with someone she doesn't know very well. Since the trip is scheduled for a Monday to a Friday, I'll need to take five days off work.
I have the vacation days, and our company's caseload around that time probably won't be too bad, so taking the time off work won't be a problem. And my in-laws are pretty great, they're always nice to me and everyone else, and I get along with them. But I'm too antisocial to really like the idea of spending five straight days with them and their friends. Also, the idea of spending five days traipsing around the mountains and streams of Taiwan isn't quite my idea of a good time. I like the outdoors just fine, but in small doses. Just like how I like my in-laws just fine, just maybe not for nearly a whole week at a time. I'd find it much more restful if I could spend the five days sitting at home instead of having to constantly be "on" around other people.
I'm still going to go. I'm still going to try to enjoy myself. But I wish I didn't have to.

Doing it for your wife is a good reason any way.
This part completely didn't occur to me, and adds deliciously to the whininess.Look at this person who lives in a responsible country flexing on all of us with a vacation he doesn't even want to go on.
Also, I forgot to mention that my wife and I would have to pay for our participation in the trip, it's around 400 bucks each.
Maybe you can invent/find something else in the area they won't want to do, and try to schedule 1-2 days to go there alone (or with your wife)? Mon-Wed-Fri with the in-laws, but Tue and Thu you're off alone to....errrr...Visit the Taiwan Hentai Museum of Tentacle Porn and the Bhamv's Former Colleagues Hottie Exhibit or whatever? You'd still be spending the evenings with them and I'm very well acquainted with "I'd still rather be at my own home those days", but it might help a bit not having to be social the whole time?
Yes, but perhaps not his inlaws. Despite what porn says, that's generally frowned upon
My back hurts.
It started hurting on Mon, probably due to my hasty snow-shoveling session on Sun.
It was worse on Tue.
It was slightly better on Wed but then I had to go do 5+ hrs of errands and groceries and so on.
It hurt bad enough on Thu that I actually had to call into work because I couldn't get out of bed until 1pm.
The rest of Thu will be spent gorging on protein & NSAIDs and taking it easy.
We will see how Fri goes.

I have not had a drink for over a week. Except I went to a nice Tex-Mex restaurant and ordered a beer in a reflex action. I guess it is nice to know that it is not a physical dependence. But I've been drinking whiskey daily for about 5 years at this point. But at times I just lose track of what I am drinking and drink way too much when I am sitting at home.
dude i quit drinking in october after a nasty incident with tequila and a woman. for new years i had a drink, did not want shockingly.
Decided to go to the fancy Kroger the next town over right after work. Blowing a little snow, but otherwise the roads are clear. UNTIL I get to the interchange with the other interstate 10 miles up the road. The whole town is a gawdawful mess with snow and slush. 70mph becomes 35. City streets are a crawl. But since I'm already up here, might as well get my shopping done. And again, roads are a snowy, slushy mess up to the interstate interchange. Then it's clear and dry the rest of the way home.
