I’m watching the first episode of the new season 3 of Silo. I’ve also read the books previously. I have no idea what’s going on because my memory is now a bit shit and this is very distressing.

I visited an old 19th century cemetery today and walked around looking at the graves. At least a third of them were for children under 10. My first thought was thank goodness for modern medicine and vaccines. My second thought was a big fuck you all the anti-vax cunts in this world.

Modelling project. The Mig-25A. When introduced into Soviet service in 1970 it was the fastest combat aircraft in the world capable of speeds exceeding Mach 3. The kit is a vintage Hasagawa kit built in the markings of the aircraft flown by Lt Belenko who famously defected with it to Japan in1976.

The creepy office cvnt who wouldn’t leave me alone despite repeated requests to do so has obviously had a little chat HR after I reported* him. Now he just stares at me whenever I leave my desk 🙄 *I was told I was being unreasonable and it’s just the way he is & I should just accept it. #workskeet

Two colleagues I’ve worked with for over 15 years retired today. It’s unlikely I’ll ever see either of them again as they are moving interstate. I’m both sad and jealous.
