On "vacation"

I'm off until 2025 (which sounds good but is all of, what, 10 days?) but I'm part-time so of course I don't get paid, either. I'm not complaining, though. I did tell them I'd work if they needed me to, and I did my time working weekends and holidays when I first had this job.

UT just beat Clemson, and they're going to the Peach Bowl against Arizona State. This playoff thing feels a little weird to me, but the old bowl system, where all the high-ranked teams played one bowl game each and then some guys voted on who was #1 - that was pretty weird too.

I'm re-reading the Expanse series, mostly because I was reading my old journal entries from when I was reading it before. But I checked and I haven't re-read it since 2021 - was that when the last book came out? It may have been. So it's been three years, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm almost to the end of the second book. I don't know if I'm really going to read the whole nine books right now though.

I'm not doing so great at writing daily. Maybe now that I'm home for the duration I'll do better!
