Monday: we left for Stogie Joe's a little early, and the place ended up as crowded as ever. We did pizza for a change of pace, but for some reason I caught myself getting frustrated about pizza portioning. In terms of performance in the trivia, we did have a pretty strong first couple of rounds, but we fell to 4th place by the time the game ended.
Sunday: day two of my work-week, and it was pretty productive as far as trade sanctions emails were concerned. (Julie continues to be under the weather.) On my first break, I had to start the chili in the pressure cooker (slow cook settings and lid), but I was a little bit late back. Lunch went better, even with another 30-minute nap in the bedroom, and I've now eaten half my week's salad supplies. Once my shift ended, we both spent additional time napping, after which we ate chili in the kitchen. Julie had no input for what to watch, so I just put on I Think You Should Leave as something I figured she'd enjoy having on in the background, while I tried to play a little Hearthstone on my phone. Once the secondhand embarrassment became too much to handle, I brought our bowls to the kitchen to do the dishes. Now that I've spent so much of the day unconscious, I'm going to check into some MMOs, briefly.
Friday: my poor level of accomplishment yesterday carried over to put me in a bad mood for most of today. It didn't help that Julie got a flat tire on the way home from work, the grocery store was out of my preferred grapes, I couldn't find a couple other items on my list, and I didn't eat anything until dinner. I washed the towels in the basement, and for dinner, I prepared a Mexican rice-based casserole in the pressure cooker. It came out pretty good, but I burned my mouth eating it. We played some Civ VI, but my run as Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt was wrong-headed from the start: thinking I could downplay my military since I'd turned off barbarians, I was soon invaded by Egypt and lost my capital. We didn't play much longer.
Koop gave me a scare when she vomited a bunch and decided to hang out in the basement for some reason. I went to look for her after a bit, but she slipped into the bedroom when I wasn't paying attention. I hope she's feeling better tomorrow.
I decided that even if I'm not going to get my other goals accomplished, I might as well at least log into FFXIV, and my progress in the Endwalker patch raids continues. It's weird to realize that I'm approaching a point at which I could work on progression content with the Free Company; that's a part of World of Warcraft that I never pursued, since my family-and-friends guild barely had more than three people online at once over my twelve years playing that game.

I completed my first draft of this very calendar system. Now to start the laborious process of importing all my achievements, trophies, etc. from Steam and similar services... It's so much easier to be productive with digital projects when I should be going through boxes in preparation for the move next spring.

Another list of phone bank employees came out with our extensions. This time around, Cyle (CCS) rejoined the department as a CSC agent, and Mathew left my team. I think this was around the time that we started doing engagement activities on the Internet side, which I was responsible for writing up as either a quarterly or mothly email; I can't remember which. We'd get our next phone list on October 19.

This wedding locale is pretty awesome. I would totally get second married here.
Open bar with three types of wine? IT'S ON!
I'm amazed I was able to make it through the buffet and not spill any food because I'm drunk. There are stuffed peppers!
The speech from the father of the bride is awkwardly personal...
And the maid of honor is crying. My wedding toasts were so much better.
Actually my wedding in general was so much better, but I'm biased.
A cover band? I can get drunk behind this.
21:43 Jason can't stomach another beer and yet drank a glass of straight vodka and finished my pinot grigio.
"I feel like an uncooperative puppet"- @jsnlxndrlv
22:10 I'm so drunk I am voluntarily eating cake. Wat.
Dear cover band, play pour some sugar on me and me and hall and oates or gtfo
There are no bagpipes at this wedding? Party foul!
SAVE A HORSE RIDE A COWBOY
So drunk I am dancing despite my sore back #whipit
Aw hell spice girls and bruce?? I'm on tit
Of course I am the only person screaming "south detriot" during this song in kc mo. #michigander
I dont know if i have ever been this drunk since i passed out on the side of my managers house in undergrad.
I am amazed my tweets are spelled correctly
Jason is sitting there giggling to himself he is so drunk

16:14 I've bitten my lip so many times that my lip no longer contains a blood vessel--it contains a blood reservoir.
19:59 It is astonishing how drunk I am at this wedding. Any legibility I accomplish is solely the work of autocorrect.
21:27 Sometimes I have to remind myself that this is a real moment.
21:33 I may have been more inebriated than this, but certainly not by much. Everything has a film of inevitability to it.
22:27 I don't think I wad previously aware that one could be this drink and Stoll be conscious. I will regret tweeting this, I rhink

While the cause remains unclear, the historical record indicates that I was in a bad mood today.

Ryan Gregg picked up BioShock today, so there's a good chance I did the same.
