catching up!! watching 911 season 7 episode 1!! let's goooo

the first three minutes of this episode are like "athena watched a cruise ship disaster on tv and it affected her for life. here's a cruise ship disaster we're putting on your tv (hehehe)."

i briefly stop watching mayday/air crash investigation episodes, only to STILL see a plane crash into a house. let's get greg feith and his excellent colorful ties in here asap

okay not actually technically relevant but. i googled "greg feith ties" and found this:

and the answer is no!! shut up!!

anyway. bi buck and his bi saw! (i may be too early.)

ahhh, the face i've already seen a dozen times:

buck was missed. <3

god, i love chimney. presumably this honeymoon life plan of his isn't going to work out perfectly smoothly, but it's adorable.

athena's dress is great, but this is a prime Just Talk To Bobby Please sort of worry she's having. i mean, literally, talk to him, and she'll probably find they do have things to talk about.

THREE DATES A WEEK. yeah, there we go (affectionate), that's gonna be a mess. very sweet, very stupid!

a spreadshEET. i love themmm. still very stupid though!!

"except only in one case is there underlying sexual tension [sprays using phallic looking object at hip height]" is definitely a little insane, you were all correct. also EXTREMELY a conversation that feels like they knew what they were doing, considering i now know where this is going

eddie is a nester! he nests!

christopher doesn't get this from eddie, implying he gets it from buck somehow. feelingssss.

god. buck taking save the trees a bit too figuratively:

throwing the champagne glasses to the side while you're in the pool is i guess a cool carefree no fucks given thing to do in theory, but it's going to be so much less cool and carefree when you step in the glass while walking around barefoot later. i mean, on top of the waste of a perfectly good glass

i HAD seen the angsty mom-left-us (and eddie is listening in) part of the buck&chris conversation, but not the entire part before it with buck very earnestly trying to find his way through this parenting talk eddie enlisted him for, and it's great, i love it.

"i feel like you're trying to avoid me." < thank you for Saying The Thing, bobby.

lola is resting..... this man has blood behind his ear...... this is 911...... he killed lola?

"i don't think we're gonna see much of lola any time soon." oh, she's VERY dead. and/or locked in their cabin, which would potentially be good and dramatic when the ship starts sinking

he made a list!! love you, bobby

athena going full "norman peterson murdered his wife!!!" and bobby being very convinced that he didn't and athena is making things up to avoid him is a) finally a funny turn for this subplot and b) even funnier in light of bobby's behavior in the rear window episode.

"... o-or he murdered his wife." i love when this show does comedy and the timing is just right. thank you, peter krause

one of the things about this show that i still think was a terrible writing choice is the way they killed shannon, so i'm glad they're at least dealing with the impact all of the parental shuffling and absence had on christopher. it's great that they brought the actress back for that one moment.

"did i read the spreadsheet wrong?", reminding me of the spreadsheet, and "did something else happen on a call?", meaning maddie immediately knows what would have changed chimney's mind again - maddie and chimney are flawless, no notes.

THEY took lola!! so that's how the ship activity manager or whatever that guy with the weird vibe's job is will turn out to be evil and/or in evil cahoots with lola

dongle. i haven't heard that word in forever. didn't know they were being used for bitcoin

oh, 911. just a ship in a weather-related emergency isn't enough, we also need terrorists holding everyone hostage. at times i could almost start to think i was watching h50

#911 #*#if i do it this way watching four episodes will take me about three times as long but that's okay. i'm extending my stay in 911 world

If It's Cracked.... Don't Fix It

A crack fic because I tried to write an angst but I got too sad.... The pain will come later. I promise

Hello! My name is Ivory Lily White Rose Flower Princess and I'm a Jedi with my clone boyfriend Hunter. Well, actually they're all kind of my boyfriends and we all love each other equally. My parents named me Ivory because their favorite name Ebony was already taken by some other weirdo. My middle name is Lily White because of the beautiful long flowing white hair cascading down my back that is as white as a snowy white loth wolf. My parents gave me away to the Jedi. My parents are also dead.

One day, me and the bad batch (who were all my boyfriends) were planning the most daring rescue EVER. Hunter of course kissed me before we left the Marauder. And then Wrecker did too and so djd Tcich and Echo! Their lips were so warm and soft. Except for Echo on account if him being mostly made of droid. But I was still in love with him even though sometimes his metal dongle made it really hard to have the sex (which I had with all of them daily).

But anyway, out spirits were low. Crosshair was still missing. I was partly sad about him because he was my boyfriend once but then he betrayed me like he betrayed the Jedi who were my family (but not my real family because they were dead). We were finally going to rescue Crosshair from the Empire!

We had to be very quiet as we snuck into the large black building that housed most of the Empire's important people but then suddenly the train we were on collapsed and I screamed in agony as my lover Tech fell out of the train. He wasn't dead! Nope. He wasn't dead at all because I could feel it in my heart and the Force told me that he was still alive. I could feel him being alive still. I told this to Hunter but he would not believe me! He told me to stop feeling in the force because it was not real! That made me angry. I did not kiss Hunter that day.

Then finally we were inside the prison where the Empire kept it's secret silence expiraments! Horror filled my souls when I realized that that evil Dr was using the clones for his own evil science pants!

I grabbed Omega by using the Force and Hunter (who was now not angry at me anymore) got Crosshair out of his chains.

Tech ran up to us because he was not dead. The Force had heald his injuries from falling. (And it turned out that he fell directly into a bacta tank that I had somehow brought to him by using the Force. I really don't know how I did that because I had never really been a Jedi that could use the Force very well. I always seemed to get into trouble with Yoda for being defective and the younglings used to laugh at me and call me names. That is why I so quickly became part of the bad batch because they too knew how it felt.

So Hunter and Tech helped out Crosshair while I held Omega in my arms. She was crying.

"Hey!" I yelled loudly at Dr Hemlock.

"WHAT!?" he shouted in confusing as he turned around in anger.

Then I looked him in the eyes and shot him in the face with my lightsaber gun that Tech made me. I was very glad that he was not dead and that I had saved him. His soft lips and ample bottom did not deserve such a death.

Everyone then smiled and clapped because me and the bad batch had once again saved the day and Crosshair was ok and Omega was okay. And Tech was not dead.

THE END

Rookie Hour

Chapter Four - Where Do We Go Now?

A/N: I'm sorry this took so long @.@ I'm a major procrastinator Major thanks to my girl: @neteyamsmunch for reminding me about this chapter.

Word count: 2.2 k

————————————————————————

We go down the stairs and see this weird secret room with a mini replica of the Raccoon City Police Department, I walk over to it and examine it. “Huh…weird.” I notice a box of shotgun shells next to it, I grab it and toss it to Leon, “Hey rookie, think fast!” Leon turns around confused, “Huh?” then catches the box. “Good catch.” I compliment him, with a small smile. Leon laughed softly and cranes his neck stretching trying to take a small break before we continue. “Aren’t you younger than me?” He asked, raising a brow, I stifled a laugh behind my hand leaning on the desk behind me being careful to not knock over the replica.

“Maybe, how old are you?” I ask Leon to give him a once over fully taking him in, crossing my arms. Leon tries to match my pose and he looks cute attempting it, stumbling slightly. I adjust my lip piercing and sniffle, and raise a brow. “Well…?” I was getting slightly impatient waiting for his response, his face clearly went through so many facial expressions before I’m guessing he decided to be honest. “I’m twenty-one.” I nod slowly as I realize that he’s two years older than me, I slightly shrug thinking well who cares if he’s older, he’s hot anyway but don’t tell him I said that. He looked as if he was waiting for my response, I scratched the back of my neck, “I’m uh…nineteen.” I admit.

“Oh cool, another question. What’s the meaning of your laces?” He asks looking down at my blue laces, oh shit…How could I tell a puppy dog rookie cop that my laces mean I wanna literally get rid of his job and corrupt cops. I blink a couple of times, thinking of a lie. “I just like blue.” I shrug and lie, I look behind him spotting a short hallway. “What’s over there?” I ask starting to go over to it and see it lead to an elevator, Leon follows behind me and I click the button the shutter opens. “I guess we should go down there huh?” He suggests, and I nod. We both step into the elevator and I press the button, closing the shutter and it starts to go down. “So, Leon, are you an actual blonde…?” I ask with a smirk and Leon’s face drops, he scratches the back of his neck and blushes. “Uh no…I’m actually not.” He admits and I chuckle, “Well, I don’t mind helping you get a better dye job. After this is all over, of course.” Leon nods to the offer and we make it down underground with a soft ding to the elevator. We step out of the elevator, Leon clicks on his flashlight as we head down the stairs. I immediately take out my gun in case anything pops out, wanting to have Leon’s back, my eyes go over his back as he walks ahead of me. Jesus, why do I feel like this? Shit, I’m sure Sherry could tell me…I miss that silly kid. We finally get down the stairs and Leon finds a hand grenade, we find a S.T.A.R.S. box maybe we need that little dongle that the office needed. We try to go through the door that leads into the other area yet we can’t. Shit now what?

I decide to head up the stairs and peek into the other doorway that seems to lead to the sewers, “Leon, come on.” I shout over the railing and he quickly comes up to where I am, “Seems like we gotta go that way.” Leon points out and I nod. We go inside and hear a man moaning and groaning while running on the grates above us, “What the─!?” Leon gasps. We give each other that, if shit goes down I’ve got you look. We nod and jog after the person, I hope he is a survivor like us but chances are he isn’t. We get around the corner and I keep a look out for Leon as he lifts the cabinet and I turn to help him lift, “Come on, Leon we got this.” We both huff as we lift, and suddenly my…oh what the hell…my father hops down. “What the fuck?!” Me and Leon both yell at the same time. My father, well, William grabs Leon pushing him back and pinning him to the floor. I try to pull William off of Leon, “Get off of him!” He quickly shoves me into the wall hard, and I gasp hard feeling the air getting knocked out of me as he slams Leon into the floor several times until the floor falls out under all of us. Fuck, fuck. Me and Leon, as well as William, land on the floor. My legs fucking ache and so does my chest, but the adrenaline kicks in faster I grab Leon off the floor as he’s holding his chest aching, “Come on, get up.” I mutter as I pull him to his feet. William starts to get up as well and we both step back. “...Jesus. Well words aren’t gonna work on this thing.” Leon jokes trying to lighten the mood. “Hey, cut him some slack, that's my dad.” I huff and Leon looks between me and William. “We can talk about that later.” He said, as we both take out our weapons ready to take him down.

…

After we finally beat William he falls over the railing falling into the deep abyss, fuck…How…am I gonna tell Sherry? Shit, how I gonna tell Annette…Wait…why was he so…mutated? Fuck, did he…start this?! I’m gonna have a mental break. I just need to focus on surviving, praying Sherry is alive and getting out of here. But I’m snapped out of my thoughts when Leon grabs my shoulder, “You okay?” I nod slowly. “I know it wasn’t easy seeing your dad like that, I’m sorry Ky.” He adds before pulling me into a hug, wrapping his arms around my waist, it feels like my heart skips a beat, what the fuck is this feeling and I hug him back, wrapping my arms around his neck. I take a beat before pulling myself out of the embrace with Leon. “Let’s just keep going…” I muttered and heard a ladder fall down in the distance, I walked over to the ladder and climbed up it. Knowing Leon was trailing behind me, I know he was concerned but I wasn’t one to talk of my feelings. Especially with a guy I just met. I can’t focus on that I need to survive, for me, and hopefully for Sherry. “Someone has to be watching us…” I hear Leon mutter suspiciously. I nod silently, really deep in thought. If someone is watching us, then who is it…? And what do they want? I stretch my back as I continue to walk ahead of Leon, not really one to wanting to be distracted from our current goal.

…

After a couple of moments of us in silence, Leon speaks up, “Kyaire…I know you probably don’t wanna talk about this with me. And I get it, but don’t keep it all pent up…” At that moment, I so badly want to just break down and sob for all the hours that have passed, but I can’t. We have to keep surviving, I can cry when we get out of this stupid city. I continue to walk only giving Leon a hum of acknowledgement yet he spins me around grabbing my forearm not roughly but tight enough to show that he cares about this subject. “Kyaire, please…Don’t shut me out. We’re a team.” He pleaded with me, genuinely giving me puppy eyes with his pretty pale blue eyes. I shut my eyes and let out a sigh, “I’m sorry, but I’m used to holding everything in and suffering silently. I’m just tired, frustrated, and sad. I can’t cry in front of you right now because we need to get out of here. But, when we do and I promise you, I will cry and scream and show you every emotion I have inside of me right now okay?” I rant all of this while pacing, fidgeting with my leather jacket. When I’m finally done, I have to take a breath because I know good and fucking well, if I talk again I’m gonna cry. I look at Leon and then the ceiling blinking hard, suddenly he hugs for the second time today. Jesus fuck, can my heart chill? It must be from the adrenaline from that fight earlier. Clearly, that’s it. I buried my face into the area where his shoulder and neck meet, and a moment where I get a whiff of his scent and his cologne mixed together, I break down full on crying.

Leon rubs my back as I cry, caressing my back up and down. I cry a little bit more before he holds me by my shoulders and looks at me as I wipe away my tears sniffling, I pull out a tissue from my pocket and blow my nose. I knew these would come in handy, and I took a deep breath. Leon gives me a soft smile and finally speaks up, “You feel better?” his voice soft as he asked me. “Yeah, I’m okay…How’re you?” I ask giving him an encouraging smile to talk about how he feels. “I’ll be honest, I’m super stressed but not too terrible. I just wanna make sure you’re okay and we get out of here, and hopefully find your sister Sherry.” I nod and give him a smile, “I’m okay, now. Let’s just keep going, yeah?” Leon nods and we continue on until we find a ladder leading up out of the sewers. Leon climbs up and out first, while I follow he walks ahead of me to the parking lot shutter and we check it out, seeing we need a parking pass to leave. “Damn. Need a key card…” Leon cursed and I held back a laugh behind my hand, I hear growling and turned my head sighing, “You’ve gotta be kidding me…” Two zombie dogs jumped up onto us, of course we weren’t able to pull out our guns in time.

I struggle fighting back the zombie dog until I hear two gunshots taking out a nearby dog and then mine that was on top of me. We both look at each other and then we hear a feminine, “Hey.” I slowly sit up breathing heavily, “Who is that?” I ask confused. She doesn’t answer my question but then yells, “Stay sharp.” I turn my head seeing the zombie dog slowly getting back up and I take out my single fire handgun shooting the dog in the head, then take out the dog that attacked Leon. Leon is still shocked but grabs his gun pointing it at the feminine figure. She was an attractive asian woman in a beige coat while wearing sunglasses, her heels clicking against the parking lot floor. She points it back at Leon and I point my gun at her, she warns him, “Lower it.” I grunt and immediately don’t trust her, why in the hell? Who in the hell? Something in the BLACK in me is telling me not to trust this bitch. She takes out her badge that was an F.B.I. badge and I immediately put my gun back in my holster, squinting my eyes at her suspiciously. “FBI.” She explains, Leon puts his gun down as she says that, sighing softly. “Sorry…Thank you─” I cut him off accidentally by shooting the zombie dog that was growling next to me with my gun, the woman raised a brow at me and I raised a brow back at her giving her a smirk. She clicks her tongue, Leon looks from me back to the woman. “For your help.” What the hell is this feeling? Ugh why is my heart wrenching…? The woman looks at Leon giving him a condescending look, “Surprised you made it this far.” I raise a brow at the woman again, narrowing my eyes at her. Once again y’all who the fuck does she think she is??? Leon is more than capable! We both get up and walk after her, I trail behind him just in case this bitch pulls some shit. Sorry, she’s not a bitch…Nah she is…Nah she isn’t…Maybe. Leon speaks up again, “FBI, huh? What’s going on here?” He asks confusedly, and I nod my head figuring we should know what the hell is going on. Hopefully this woman can at least tell us something. The woman looks at us over her shoulder giving a small smirk, “Sorry. That information’s classified.” Then continued to walk ahead of us, I paused and put my hands on my hips scoffing. “Where are you going?” Leon asks all of the important questions.

I huff and take a breath, waiting for her to answer. She turns around clearly annoyed with his questions, “Do yourself a favor: stop asking questions and get you and your girlfriend the hell out of here.” I let out a short gasp, “He is not my boyfriend!” I let out a groan and rolled my eyes at her, Leon just looked flustered scratching the back of his neck. She gives a short mhm as she walks away opening a door off to the side and Leon yells after her, “Hey! I’m not done talking to you!” I groan and roll my eyes and lean against one of the parking lot pillars’ while Leon runs after her trying the door, finding it locked. “Dammit.” He huffed.

Great…So now we gotta find a parking pass out of here…

Hello there! Its gm again

Glad we finally got this working

A lot has happened, from my perspective its been about two and a half years, ive completed a further two sessions

But i think we did it, i think we're out

We're back on earth, like normal earth

Well kinda normal

Sburb doesn't seem to exist here and our sylladex's have vanished along with basically everything we didnt have on our persons when we walked through the door

We had a hell of a session, one where we god tiered relatively early game due to the danger

Of the four of us (space, time, breath, and light) we seem to have retained little dregs of power, small things, our space player can give you the dimensions of a room down to the millimeter from just a glance type of things

I have an intimate awareness of time even without a clock

As far as we can tell paradox space is still out there but is functionally unreachable at the current moment due to technological restraints

Took about a year of tinkering just to get a stable signal using the replay-net dongle

Its

Is it strange that i miss it? Its strange out here, for gods sake i work at a gas station now how wild is that

Ive killed hundred of thousands if not millions or more enemies and created thing beyond understanding and met clowns and fought kings and queens and Eldritch beings and made fucking universes and i work at a gas station! A fucking gas station dude! Arguably the most normal of jobs that you could have!

Its wild! its so far beyond insanity that the four of us are sure we have to be in the game still

But its right there in the fuckin sky, like no one else can see it, a giant "thanks for playing"

We cant even go to some kind of therapy cause who the fuck would believe us? Gods sake our youngest is 13! She has at least 15 sessions under her belt, how the fuck do you even recover to a societal normal after decades of being fucking 13!

Its like sburbs final fuck you

I wish i knew what we did, how we got out how the fuckin menu got fixed or if it was just some fucking random twist of data

I wish i could help others leave

But we dont know and we have no way of figuring it out without access to the game and ill be fucking damned if we push our luck

I wish i could help you

The Sylladex isn't a SBURB thing, anyone can do that, dingus. Post disproven.

Okay but for real, even putting aside the fact that I innately refuse to believe "I found a way to fix the game" stories, especially with the addendum of "the game fixed itself mysteriously", I do have to interrogate the intention behind sending this ask. It can't help anyone because it happened randomly, it double-can't help me because I am not even in a position to receive random twists of fate. And ending it off with the random pitiable "I wish I could help you"? Every so often some guy will troll around by claiming they beat the game, say everyone else has a "skill issue" or is "not seeing the bigger picture which is why you're stuck there", and then starts making crass comments about how we're stuck standing in a circle and providing genetic material to a frog while they're going to spend the rest of their immortal life in their new universe being fed grapes and receiving blowjobs from their followers (and then they get banned), and I have to say, at least the troll posts are funny.

Even if this is true and you are now free from the game >assuming that a new SBURB session can't or won't be initiated in this new world, I cannot really help you acclimate to living a new life in a normal world, nor can I direct you to a resource that can do the same, because nobody has experienced this. The closest you'll get is guys with absurdly long (we're talking around three years) pre-Sessions, and even then they know the game is about to begin on some level, even if they don't know when, and that dread kind of characterizes the entire text. So enjoy that I guess.

#sburb #replay value au #the vast disappointment

on the one hand i know that if i want to protect my peace for the next five months i need to blacklist any and all vocab terms surrounding the election on this site (b/c i know what i'm doing/not doing and have no real interest in watching people argue with walls, convinced that that's useful political action), but on the other most of those terms also overlap with so many of the silly polls that go around on here and i'd hate to miss out on making yet another poll shaped like a dongle...

05/24/23: Wednesday finds! Fleamarket was the first stop. Didn't find any movies there, as the sellers pretty much had the same stuff from last week. But I was surprised by a lady with a ton of manga! The first thing I saw at her stall was a lone N64 football game. While debating to get it or not, I spotted a tub full of manga. It's been hard finding these things lately. So I started looking through them. It was all shojo, fantasy, and some Yaoi titles. But I chose to get these. They seemed the most complete or similar to stuff I remembered ages ago. And at a dollar each, fairly priced. The game ended up being $3.00 and $25 for all the books. Afterwards I found some random gaming electronics; a wii nunchuck, a rockband dongle, and a 70s calculator with gaming elements; $6.00 for all. I managed to find some games. I found four sealed copies of Brink for Xbox 360. They were two for $5.00. And lastly I found a Galaga mini arcade for a dollar. It's missing its back battery cover, but I won't make a fuss. It's only a buck.

Now, at the thrift store, I had more luck on movies. I pulled out a box full of them. But since I already own them in some form or another, I left a whole bunch behind. The ones I got here are some that I can sell later, and a few I don't have yet. I also found a Minecraft toy weapon, a ps4 soccer game, and two silver ps2 controllers. It ended up being around $40 for everything. Not a bad day.

Long story short (I won’t be able to type much since I hav fever n low pressure due to my wisdom tooth it’s unbearable) those same ppl who hammered my Bath set which I’d taken with a lot of enthusiasm for I always, always wanted that style since before we even had it in India, they also ruined my two extra tiles and wasted them including one additional highlighter tile, luckily we found one more tile, so the contractor who had come (we had only asked for a plumber) they’d already utilised those extra tiles and not only had they put the back component tilted but the tile was also cut slant (as per their stencil or outline) and so were the internal pipes, they were all tilted and for some reason they thought we’ll be very happy with their work, or a slant mixer 😡😡😡now we’ve used that one last tile which was missing and we’ve called someone from the company itself to fix the thermostat but when we tried to fit the bottom Bath set we realised that they had also messed with the lower area and we were told we’ll have to remove one more tile YET AGAIN after fitting the bathtub and door, we had already ordered 2 extra tiles luckily the shopkeeper charged us the same old price but since it’s already been a year the batch is completely different so they don’t look the same, they are lighter… and we had already fixed my tub 🛁 back in the same position cuz the exposed part has to be put after keeping the tub there, the bathtub has to fit first and then the spout (plus mixer, crutch, etc.) the plumber had to do his own scraping & cutting and it took almost an hour, we ended up having a gap so we did some more cutting phew 😮‍💨 I’m glad it’s done now… except for the thermostat, we’ll be calling someone from the company cuz plumbers are not able to align it and do the setting and all. The other plumbers were actually using the Panna or spanner 🔧 on my set, it had big teeth so it not only peeled off the coating but also left several scratches and dents, that too on the front part which had my fav hot and cold written on it (luckily only one side) I do feel blessed there are bloggers who are buying from Aliexpress also… they have a like “signature”/sign from which you can make out that it’s from there, if we still had it in India I would’ve also considered that because all this was not initially available here, they look cool they have cursive fonts which are very fancy and some also have a bigger lever not just a dongle but the front has a switch sign which looks like a pair of headphones at first glance haha that’s the only con other than the handshower shape. Buying from there is risky and if it’s only for the cursive part then I won’t recommend that i really don’t know why they are spending there cuz as long as I remember the prices are not that low… and it looks like a copy/knock off sometimes.

The thermostat is pending, the new plumber was not that skilled but he managed the mixer really well inspite of the fact that the tiles were not cut properly and everything had gone wrong in that area, he had a smaller spanner he said these brands make products which are more delicate so you can’t use those bigger ones, he wrapped it in plastic and then used a cloth to tighten the set to protect the coating, he also wiped it clean to remove all the finger prints. I love the functioning and all so I’m happy with this but you’ll have to check before buying from here cuz my stop cock had a minor defect, the threading was not proper so the cold insert kept falling out, they’ll have to strictly ask the dealers to keep these products in a good condition they just dump everything one on top of the other and secondly there’s availability issue too, they’ll also have to make sure they do proper quality checks before the final supply cuz that threading part comes under manufacturing. We somehow worked a way around and glued the insert. In India there are many people including me who want these English designs, don’t underestimate your own fellow citizens. I’m very happy with my IKEA faucet which also has white inserts and red and blue bands for hot and cold, I didn’t face any problem there, it came with a pipe, tape, overflow cap and drain (both) everything which was required for you to instantly put it together.

I do like this other brand but they will have to work on all those points. I’m glad my Bath set has been fixed now, the tub 🛁 looks better with this mixer because it has a European design too. This spout’s flow is way better compared to the previous one (from Kohler, they’ve fixed the health faucet but the hand showers, overhead showers and the spout are still lagging) our previous plumber had put the 2-3 way diverter valve extremely high because he had a shower column in mind even though we had told him about the bathtub and it was impossible for my hand to reach there after putting the tub (both the drop in as well as the new one) luckily since I have long hands 🙌🏻 I was able to reach the tip of the valve and I would adjust from there but it would require a lot of stretching and I would sprain my hand easily cuz I’m not even keeping well (since long) if you’ll go through the older pics on my tumblr or insta then you’ll see how high it was, next there were more issues, the diverter button would not work properly, and because there was no thermostat the water would come very hot burning hot even after switching to cold which was quite unusual it shouldn’t have been that hot… it was impossible to adjust the temperature several times while sitting in the tub and most importantly this was also full of hassles - the spout or filler, the pull and twist knob would not turn completely and even if we would gain some success the water would still keep dripping from the other outlet, the flow was poor, I would regret switching from one outlet to another cuz it would get really difficult to turn or pull or push it around… when you are in a bathtub you have to switch between the spout and the handshower if you want to use it during a bubble bath and it would take ages to fill my bathtub cuz the pressure like I said was too low & you wouldn’t get enough water, nothing was stuck inside we had asked our old plumber to clean everything and even check it after putting the bathtub, I have taken a single flow for top for the overhead shower with a thermostat (I wanted the other normal one cuz thermostats are more expensive but it had been discontinued and they didn’t have any without a diverter except for this one which is okay because as a “designer” I knew that a vertical plate would look better there) the head shower’s pressure is also very low someone told us it’s faulty and we should get it changed, they weren’t aware that even Kylie Jenner’s shower console had this issue cuz it’s from the same brand… changing the overhead shower would have incurred more expenses and I don’t even have much ceiling height cuz there’s a tank up there, all matching Victorian Bell showers/rainforest require more height and I’m a fan of those gooseneck ones but you don’t get them here, they do have a hook rail which looks similar but that would’ve required more 3-5 inches. I anyway get migraine and dry hair so I’m okay with this slower version lol and I’ll be using the tub and handshower more.

My EDC for Work

I mostly work remote now, but there's still some days that see me head back into the office. My EDC tends to vary depending on what's on my schedule.

Constants:

a Google Pixel 4XL w/ 128 GB in storage space. Basic comms, mobile file storage, music player, notes.

a Flipper Zero module, which is attached to my keychain and allows me to wipe and clone office-related RFID tags. It saves me on having to walk down to the locked and secured actual cloning machine, with Management having needed a while to come around to my using it. I also use it to control our conference room's projector, seeing as the actual remote is always misplaced. It lets me into my office and allows me to spook my non-tech-savvy EV-using colleagues seeing as Toyota doesn't individualize keyfob NFC signals. I also use it to control our garage door and to head inside the apartment. Oh, and it's also my dedicated IR remote for the media center.

two SanDisk Compact UltraFlash USB drives at 128 GB apiece. One is my Ventoy drive and is crammed with every single OS the office needs, from Linux Mint for the Call Centre to Windows Server 2020, as used by the Art and Production teams, with several variations in-between and a few bootable utilities, such as GParted, Hiren's Boot CD, FreeNAS and Proxmox. Both of them are molded to my keychain using little Sugru putty hoops. The Executive pool being beyond all salvation, I also pack a hacked Windows 11 image file that I've modded to be just a little bit more flexible than the commonplace Tiny11 ISO that's accessible online. Allowing sixteen year-old computers running on spinning rust to function off of a modern operating system has at least allowed us to acclimate the older ends of the Accounting department to modern standards. Unlike the actual Tiny11 ISO, I've kept the authentication suite because y'can't really run homebrew Windows images in an office setting legally if the resulting installation can't phone home...

Admin Days:

my Razer Blade 14 laptop and its associated dongles, running off of Windows 11 Pro. I edit campaign-related documents, review project files and sign off on our dealers having fully-assembled digital care packages packed with everything they'll need to get their sales off the ground. I also confirm the proper placement of documents that will need to be accessible for our Printing associates later. Everything IT takes place there, except for what relates to the Call Center. My laptop allows me to Term into our four server stacks if our checklists detect that something's missing, and to visually report on what needs to be transferred. To do all this, I also pack...

a TP-Link USB-C to RJ45 adapter, which is foldable and takes about zero space in my laptop's bag. It works like any other built-in hardline access point.

a no-name collapsible Cat5 Ethernet cable

a small bean bag. This one actually stays in-office, but I take it out from underneath my desk when I know I'll be watching the local network or mothering file transfers for more than twenty minutes. I am not spending half-an-hour standing up in the hot aisle, no sir.

Call Centre Admin Days:

my 512 GB Steam Deck. It's a couch gaming platform at home and a Linux Terming station at work. Going Linux-to-Linux is much more intuitive for me than loading Windows' Linux tools, seeing as it gives me a complete GUI I can use to guide less computer-savvy call agents through common procedures. It virtualizes a barebones-basic Linux Mint install that I can boot up and peer through if some colleagues report weird bugs or VoIP-specific issues, and I can use it for remote takeovers if things get too complex and require that I actually dig in to fix an issue.

my Steelseries Arctis 9 headset and USB emitter. I'm technically obligated to use wired audio peripherals at work, but Management soon realized I had too many side-jobs to take care of at work to really make the use of anything wired practical on the long term. They're plugged in if I have to lend a hand and make a few calls, but typically operate wirelessly. Everyone at the office knows to ping me on 3CX if I'm working within range of my desk, and to text or message me if I'm not.

On-Site Implementation:

my Google Pixel Slate. This old croaker's really useful when I'm dealing with non-tech-savvy salespersons who need a walkthrough of a campaign's documents or who want a demo run of some of our VR and WebGL content offers. It's a decent notepad on its own, and it comes with its own dongles. It's the PC I'll use to access any dealer's infrastructure and confirm with their Sales Director and Financial Controller that everything's above-board and ready to go.

That last one is the least-frequent of my tasks, seeing as Management knows not to send a cripple halfway across the province on his own. They let me implement campaign materials and check for head offices' go-ahead only for local dealerships, some colleagues of Walt's are scattered across the province for the rest.

All of that sort of informs why I took the Brain Gremlin as a persona, as I'm technically able to crater the company that employs me if I so desired, and could do so during personal or business-related trips.

Failing that, I get to fuck around with our presenting hardware if I'm bored, I can wreak havoc with my fellow geeks' radio-powered desktop toys, and have been known to pull an April Fools on my boss by using my Flipper Zero to put his shelf-mounted radio receiver on his least-liked station without opening the door.

FAQ:

WHY U NO USE LINUX ON LAPPY?

Because Razer are incompetent buffoons that long ago made it clear they had no vested interest in supporting the use of Open Source operating systems, and who made it a requirement to use Windows Update in order to get absolutely anything to work on the Razer Blade 14.

If it's any consolation, I use WSL to run Kali Linux on top of my Windows 11 install on my laptop. The way it's set up, you'd swear it's just a productivity and light gaming machine up until I mouse over to and click on a blank spot in the upper border. Kali's own GUI then drops down.

As to why I'd want to attack or breach my own employer's resources? Having an in-house pen-tester is a lot cheaper in this economy.
