Wednesday: woke up early enough to get into FFXIV and finish all of the available Main Story Quests. I moved on to the Stormblood Hildibrand quests I hadn't finished and did a couple of those before work. I worked hard on my projects and made good headway, though I feel like the number of briefings we're having is only increasing. On breaks, I'm continuing to follow Preach's A Realm Reborn playthrough, and he's finally getting into the climactic story arcs before the ARR patch content. I've also been following the drip-feed of new Whizbang's Workshop cards this week, but with only one card a day, I don't find myself rechecking the subreddit as much as I will in the next couple weeks.
After work, I got the litter while Julie gathered the trash, since pickup was delayed by the presidential holiday. We'd wanted to get Chinese from the restaurant on a nearby corner, but they were unexpectedly closed, so I walked over to the Indian place instead to pick up our online order. Since I'd kept falling asleep during Poirot, Julie put on the first couple episodes of Abbott Elementary, and I fell asleep there, too.
Tuesday: before my shift started, I hit a couple rooms with the vacuum. Still acclimating to my new, weird work schedule, so I didn't get much done otherwise... think I went to bed early?
Monday: came across a post on tumblr about the impossibility of moderating social media, so people should go to web forums instead. People suggested assembling links. I recommended people visit https://intfiction.org for interactive fiction, text adventures, twine and hypertext, etc., as well as https://selectbutton.net/ for computer and console game discussion that's a little less heteronormative than most gaming fora.
Sunday: a post on tumblr talked about how out-of-control Texas energy bills are getting and encouraged people to turn off automatic payments. Some people suggested contacting your financial institution to request a stop payment, and I felt it important to add context: "You should ask your bank or credit union whether they can put a stop payment on debit card transactions. My bank's VISA debit cards can't be stopped, so if I had automatic payments on such a card, I'd need to report the card missing or compromised in order to prevent the automatic payment from coming out. While the banking mobile app can temporarily turn my card on or off, any company that I've previously paid automatically can still authorize transactions on a card I've turned off. You may also want to note that networks like VISA have a service that permits some merchants to be provided with your updated card info when you replace your card, so if you've ever closed a card due to fraud only to find the same company start charging your new card, a service like that one may be responsible. Your bank can probably create a new card for you that isn't linked to the old card number." These were the issues I dealt with on a daily basis while I worked at the bank.
