Today was a good day. 1st weekend day haha.
1700 words, drawing lessons, playing some #Theremin and (hopefully) figured out the recording function of the Boss looper, watched some TV (first time this week 😬 ).
I'm satisfied. Now I shall retreat with a book to read, after which I will study the inside of my eyelids.
#Hasta la vista, #Tootleverse.

Customer employee reports laptop won't charge anymore.
Laptop is 3 years old, no warranty, repair will be expensive.
Manager says employee can pick a new laptop for work, and... asks if employee wants to buy his old laptop for home use. Which I just said is broken and will be expensive to fix...
Seriously... I doubt the laptop will be sold.

"We need to talk to someone who knows where they are," Chrissie suggested.
"And we have some," Harvey said. "Those three we shoved in the furnace."
"You did what?" Randolph asked.
"Don't worry, they're not dead. Well, practically they are, as they're Alfie's, but we didn't switch on the furnace." Harvey felt they had to know.
"One of them's dead dead," Chrissie reminded him.
"True. But that was more of an accident," Harvey said.
