The problem with snow days is you always want more of them. You basically get a taste of retirement and then get slapped back to reality. It was nice while it lasted though.

Today: The shuttle lot was moved due to icy conditions expect that wasn’t communicated minus a small sign at the normal departure lot, so everyone, myself included, were scrambling far too early this morning.

Status: The beast of getting older has shown up for others around me and it’s a frustrating experience to confront it.

Reading: Martyr!, Kaveh Akbar. I checked this out as an ebook from the library and got a chapter in and quit. Checked it out as a physical book from the library’s new self-serve vending machine and it’s been a much more engaging book.

Last Watched: Game of Thrones. I’ve promised for years that I’d watch GoT and never committed to it, mostly because I always found it kind of off-putting. I don’t mind the nudity or sex but a lot of it seems both unnecessary and problematic. I get it, we’re set in a fictional past and gender norms were far different, but I still find it deeply unsettling to have an older male writing about teenage marriages, rapes, and everything else. That being said…having finally seen the red wedding, I can see why people were so engaged by it.
