Huh, OMERS is under review with Ford advisors and I can predict that if it goes the way Ford wishes then all our first responders plus myself would probably just leave the province due to the lack of gratitude for holding things together with our bodies during the toughest of years.

Like, I know members who have literally dropped dead.

Or you know, give us a bonus scheme. Workers aren’t widgets. We are not interchangeable and what we have left can go if we think they are.

It’s doubtful people would work with people if not compensated. Have you met people?

Red grevillea flower in a green garden setting

I’m sure once I do the excel training it will be easier, but still. Like, just.

And the same goes for the photocopier stuff. It’s a self service and yet, no one even tries to do the yourself part first. What happens if you do your own google search? Yikes. Why is there an instinct to interrupt first? No. First you try.

Today is a dumpster fire so here are some photos from inside the compound.

- The cat (because cat)
- Wigelia
- Malva aka musk mallow
- Garden sage in bloom (I had to check to see if sage and rosemary are in the same family b/c this looks a lot like the very tiny flowers my rosemary gets in the early spring while it's an overwintered house plant). EDITED to add: They are not related.

Dark tabby cat sits on a rock as big as he is, which borders a small stone courtyard. His back is to the camera, his face side on. There's a black metal gate in heavy-duty deer fence several feet beyond him, with a simple wood grape arbour just beyond. Inside the compound is a profusion of plants, with the frothy blooms of a goatsbeard on the right side of the frame. A planter with viola is in the right foreground in the corner of the photo.

Closeup of a red wigelia flower, with 5 round petals and 5 stamens, with one sporting a white round tip. There are other flowers around it along with green leaves.

A cluster of white malva flowers with 5 triangular petals and pale pink centres. There's a large hosta out of focus behind the plant, with a small cedar-clad studio in the background.

Cluster of garden sage flowers, irregularly-shaped purple flowers with petals reminiscent of irises. The base of the blower is reddish green, a cup-like shape with pointed tips. Soft textured sage leaves can be seen at the bottom of the photo.

Omg, trying to math and husband wants to know more about something and asks a research question, son needs more computer time and daughter is asking for multiple snacks. F standard diviation and the Greek alphabet.

What is Mu? Just call it mean.

A quiet riot of violet. Petrea volubilis — also known as Queen’s Wreath — cascades in delicate clusters of five-petaled blooms. This one stopped me mid-step.

A cascading spray of delicate purple flowers on a vine, surrounded by large green leaves in soft background blur. Each star-shaped bloom displays five slender petals with a deeper purple center.

Fine…we’ll watch KPop Demon Hunters.

Canada TikTok is going to court it seems.

Nope, presto is still glitchy AF.

People are shocked to discover they need to fact-check ChatGPT and I'm having the uncomfortable realization that they never fact-checked their uncle's Facebook posts, their friend's medical advice, or literally anything Google's top result told them, and suddenly the last decade makes sense...

BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.
