as for the former, I have little to no memories prior to the age of 15, so honestly don't know what the "norm" is for children
as for the latter, madness is part-and-parcel in both sides of my bloodline and at least one side of their mothres as well, so the possibility exists
Moving On... The Great Migration at work went well, my daughters were actually quite good in the new offices while everyone was busy around them
this first week in the new offices also went well - I was training most of the week, which went very well as well
because they're half-offices/cubical-styled, I have to get used to zoning out the background noise - which is much different than the warehouse noise
I don't think most people are aware yet how well noise carries in the new offices, since I can hear when people are on their phones or bitching about this person or that, or even discussing work-private information
hopefully it will segue into a better workplace via this soon enough, though... the work-pettyness is sometimes absurd
( though, yes, there are those co-workers whose lack-of-work pisses off the many and, in this new environs, should hopefully come to the fore and obviousness - either forcing them to WORK at work or force 'em out
...hopefully )
Moving On... outside of work I've been reading the first volume of Lumley's Titus Crow trilogy collection - and loving the 7 hells out of it !
I love Lumley's Necroscope series, so I'm none too shocked at liking his other series - particularly in that it stems off/works within the world of Lovecraft, which I absolutely adore !
weirdly, the 2nd portion of this first volume also stems into materia that's likened to a coupling of Lovecraft and Doctor Who, involving a time-space travelling clock that's bigger on the inside facing Lovecraftian horreurs *smirks*
( ok, so it's more than just a likening to ! )
Moving On... it's pain-inducing-weather season again *sighs*
aye, I bitch every fall/winter/early spring about it - but, by gods, I had a hate-on for cold even before the '96 car accident that cracked my head open and led to cold-inducing pain/headaches :(
funny that this is the farthest south I've ever lived, but still well within the US-continental arctic circle called Minnesota
( I also laugh when people talk about going "up north Minnesota" when they're only going mid-way up Minnesota - I lived in actual up-north Minnesota and it's many hours north of where they're treading ! )
'course, I'll be here for many a moon to come - at least until my spawnlings graduate, but likely well after, too *shrugs*
oh well and no worries... I've dealt with it for many a decade - aka my entire life - so it hasn't killed me ( yet... )
And that's about all I have for this particular foray into postination...
Until next time, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk !!
couple weeks' worth of twittage ::
9/25 :
my walking light, which I also used as a reading light, died last night *sighs* - pretty long life for a years-ago dollar store find...
9/25 II :
I never said you would like me - actually, some of you I know I've told that you WILL learn to hate me... even if it's only temporarily
9/27 :
"now is perfect time to go to europe, it's spring there"
no, it's fall, like us, you're thinking Australia
"no, it's opposite us"
sorry, no
9/27 II :
officer, officer, officer, ambulance, fire truck, ambulance, fire truck... a'yep, SOMEthing is goin' on down the road, I'd say *demn*
9/29 :
I now know two immigrants being rushed/pushed to citizenship in days instead of months to be legal to vote... wonder how many illegals...?
after all, it WAS just mere months ago that N0bama2.0/Hillary hired illegals to get people out to vote - coincidence? somehow I doubt it...
9/30 :
*demn* nearly 11miles walked today - and all AT work ... BUT there is a lot goin' on with the Great Migration (earlier) today and tomorrow
on the not-so-cool side of things, the ex & I are planning to (finally) bypass the state entirely w/ CS, since something screwy is goin' on
10/1 :
the girls were very good at work today, keeping themselves entertained in the new office while everyone worked around them without issue :)
10/5 :
spelling IS important: having to explain what you mean when you say you're "into rapers," or son/friend "rapes / is a raper" is a bad sign
10/7 :
nothing quite warms the heart like innocence...
the fresh, clean blood also warms the skin and keeps one feeling fresh, wholesome, & alive!
10/8 :
why, yes, I HAVE spent most of the mornin' listenin' to 'the darker side of' Pandora and provoking people on facebook... why do you ask ?

unusualist - I have yet to find a religion and/or spirituality that fits my own personal beliefs... other than, of course, the fact I am a (fallen) god.
( y'just now figured out that I'm basically a non-practicing hedonist? "if it feels good, do it, if it feels bad, you're doing it wrong" )
( "I believe in the proven power of willpower and the truth we are the gods we created. No one being created this universe and its wonders." )
( "the words of wisdom I follow will be the words I've written myself based on the life and experiences that I have Lived, Enjoyed, & Survived" )
( "I live not for tomorrow nor yesterday, but for the day in which I dwell - today. Today is who I am, I know not who I'll be tomorrow, nor am I who I once was. Aspects of yesterday may remain into tomorrow, but I'm never completely the same, for each day I live, I learn and this knowledge changes me, rebuilds part of me, and I am anew." )
( "may the platelets of justice travel the bloodstream of villainy, clog its arteries with honourable vengeance, and induce a coronary of truth" )
( "we are all inmates in the same asylum, some of us are just better at bribing the guards" / *breathe ... relax ... kill ... rinse ... repeat* )
( "Who do I think I am? thom Wolfox sR Rhose, official slaveboy, SchmooGod of the MidWest, and RedKnight of Pattern - amongst other names, why?" )
( "In a previous life I was the engine block to a '56 chevy, I lost my heart to a Volkswagen Bus... er, wait - or was that a '57?" )
( "I may not be the brightest orange in this bag o'donuts, but I know vasoline when I smell it!" / "Godfuck Me, Jesus!" )
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave..."
"Oh, man. I'm sensing something very canadian about this place..."
"It's all true, god's an astronaut, Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live..."
Jax : "yay for you, do you want a cookie or a bozo button?"
