This has been a wild week for me. Got back from Amsterdam Tuesday night. Worked at both jobs on Wednesday. Spent most of my day at the FBI on Thursday then went home and crashed. Worked both jobs again yesterday. Just now getting home from working at the brewery all day today. I’m so tired and sore.

Went back to work today and was immediately greeted with an inbox of 300+ emails 😬

Im really not enjoying my airport experience. I saw a mouse run across the ground while walking to my gate, it’s extremely dirty and there’s lots of trash all around my gate, and the free usb chargers that are all around to use, when I try to get one, I keep getting an error and there’s no outlets 🙃

Won’t lie, this airport is crazy busy for 3am

Look at all those chickens

Every month we post our Commander A - Z series were we play games playing with unique themed checks. Today we are dropping F-bombs with @magicmishamigo.bsky.social And @kurohitsuki.bsky.social ➡️ youtu.be/5frv4NtTa0U

Oops. Had a busy morning at work and time completely slipped away from me. The odds are not in my favor for getting a Festival in a Box since I just hopped in the queue.

These five-boots were made for walking and kicking a whole lot of butt.

Grabbed a caramel macchiato this morning and I’m pretty sure I just got caramel milk. I’m still going to drink it.

Another new experience at my job today. It’s the start of my 4th week and my branch manager wasnt in the office today but he was supposed to have an interview for a new technician. I just conducted that interview so that was neat

Just finished my shift at the brewery and it decided to pour down rain and hail. 😅

If you're in town for San Diego Comic Con... Let's Party ;)) (Spread the word, even if you can't make it)

I think it's pretty neat that, despite everything, we can look back and remember that we've met some pretty cool people through a trading card game

We're launching a MelaninMagic Discord! We are very new! This is a space for Black and Brown magic people to relax/ hang out/Jam some games. I'm not a discord savant, but send us a DM and we'll get you added!

Resharing for visibility. The @deckedout.bsky.social team works so hard on these episodes and puts a lot of effort into them. Honestly they are constantly trying to expand the type of content they create and this has been a hit. Guest starring: @guildpack.bsky.social youtu.be/FPhWzL7SNAY?...

Fun new development at work, I’m now my office’s safety manager too.

I spent almost 4 hours today stripping concrete cylinders. (You drill a hole in the bottom of the mold and blow compressed air into it until it releases) These cylinders are about 10lbs each which isn’t too bad until you have to move over 50 of them around and drill them too my arms are SORE
