Friday!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
It's been a long week, made longer by having a day off during it. I really hate that. Can't we just smash all holidays up to the nearest weekend and say that's when the holiday is "observed", the way we do with Veteran's Day?
This coming to work, then getting a single day off and then coming back to work again is exactly why I quit doing shift work and got a 7-5 job.
But yay - Friday!
Two days off to start getting ready for our Spring Big Trash Day - and since I'm cleaning out the storage shed of nearly 2 decades of kid stuff, that's going to be a lot of trash and recyclables and get0rid-ofs.
