jenettYikes! I had a sufficiently complex morning that I completely forgot about posting. Sorry!
Topic of the week
I've been seeing a number of discussions around Dreamwidth about different ways people use social media, different customs (and how sometimes those are formed as ways to deal with a particular site's features or bugs.)
How do you use your Dreamwidth account? Has that changed over time? What's important to you? What do you not care so much about? And while we're at it, do you have a favourite feature you don't think enough people know about?
Not interested in that? As always, whatever other topics people want to talk about very welcome. Start a thread, see who joins in.
What I've been up to
Moving is exhausting! I got most of my kitchen unpacked last weekend, then fell over in a pit of exhaustion other than more or less keeping my head above water at work.

Comments are welcome whenever you get a chance - even if that's hours or days later. Feel free to jump into whatever sub-threads intrigue you. More discussion is the point of the salon posts!
Got a question you're trying to sort out, or a thing you'd like to discuss? Lots of thoughtful interesting people with a wide range of interests show up here! Feel free to ask about things you're thinking about or trying to solve, as well as other kinds of chat.

This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.
1) Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to. Keeping conversations SFW is appreciated.
2) If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
3) If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

Date: 2019-01-11 06:34 pm (UTC)I was praying it wouldn't snow before I moved apartments (I moved to a place that's a walk-out basement, down a weird flight of stairs), but we have been almost totally snow free near Boston this winter (one bout in... November?)
So I'd like some, in a manageable amount to figure out how shovelling works at the new place, ideally.
(I also like snow a lot more now that either I get told not to come to work - I work at a school but not with students - or if they don't cancel, my boss is fine with me working from home most of the time.)

Date: 2019-01-11 07:05 pm (UTC)Getting to stay inside on a 'snow day' as an adult is the best. I have a job where I can definitely work from home if it's snowy and gross outside. I walk to work so I've definitely taken a remote work day in the interest of not sliding around and breaking my tailbone. I'm also based on Washington, DC, so even though we're a private company we follow the federal government's snow operations policy. I have no idea how that's going to work with the whole shutdown thing.
(And glad it wasn't rude of me to drop in! I mistook the feed of all Metafilter community users' posts for the community feed. D'oh.)

Date: 2019-01-11 07:12 pm (UTC)I fortunately don't have to do drains, but do have to clear the steps and my own car, and maybe help with the driveway. But not having to do it in time to leave at 7am is definitely a benefit. (I've got a bunch of chronic health stuff, so I am also a "I do 15 minutes, then I sit down for 15, then I do another 15..." sort of person.)
