It’s a race and there ain’t no room for someone in second place

Shawshank, November 5, 2025

Podrick let us (me) sleep in! I only really felt him once. He landed on my hip, and quickly moved on with what he was doing. He came back up on the bed, and was close to me. I opened an eye and looked at the clock: 7:44. Time to get up. I gave him some loves, an heaved myself out of bed.

Time to greet the day.

A spike indeed. I had over 190 visitors yesterday! I’ve probably had about 400ish over the last two weeks. Crystal thinks it’s probably bots doing whatever bots do. But it’s still crazy, that bots are so interested in my little corner of the ‘net.

Work was less chaotic than the day before. We had just about 300 people come through our doors and buy something. Yesterday, I walked into work and saw just about every employee outside staring at the ground – a nozzle fell off the gas pump. About 5 litres of fuel had spilt all over the ground. The acting manager was fumbling to try and get a picture to send to the GM. I pulled out my phone and snapped the picture and then it to the GM with the caption “now what”. Within about 45 minutes, the boss got here and fixed it. Woohoo! It actually takes something to break to get it fixed. Nothing proactive allowed!

The cats were wrestling on me at one point this morning. It’s warm and sunny out there. They’ve just been getting up earlier and earlier. I was the wrestling mat this morning. Welcome to the first real day of spring. After checking the weather app, we’ve actually started out in positive temps this morning. Needless…

Feed it off an aux, speed, grunt, no, strength

November 20, 2025

Back to work this afternoon. Also in breaking news, Podrick is a menace. But y’all already knew both those two points. After a nice sleep, and gentle wake up, with nothing knocked over, or pulled down, shit was all over the floor. I don’t think Pippin was this bad, when she was his age. I…
