Oh, I have been reminded that Nordstrom Rack exists and discovered that we apparently have one at the local mall.

Seems itt has been there since 2015, which shows you how often I go to that mall.

They have several varieties of the shoes I am looking for in stock, and all cheaper than DSW.

I have to Look Decent for my boss' retirement dinner next week.

My wardrobe is ~99% casual wear.

Thanks to Ross, I have put together a $300 outfit - that I even *like* to boot - for just under $65.

Damn shoes I need to grab this weekend are gonna be as much as the rest of the outfit, LOL.

Hello! I'm eloly, a crafter and musician.

I like to design amigurumi or sometimes amigurumi-adjacent crochet sculptures. I'm inexperienced but enthusiastic about sewing and quilting; comfortable with knitting and crochet; and a shameless dabbler in rigid heddle weaving and a billion other things.
I play recorders and double bass.
I'm a huge fan of C.J. Cherryh, Lois McMaster Bujold, Tamsyn Muir.

I haven't had much to do with social media platforms before, but I like the idea of the Fediverse. I'm excited to share some of my projects and see what other people are making.

And we are done. Once we got past the weird and unexpected teambuilding, it was nice. And I didn't have to provide a fun fact about myself.
OK, we have finally settled into pleasant chatting.
OMG, come to find out retiring boss almost did not accept the meeting invite, cause it was supposed to be a surprise so they changed the title on it - and he was "why would I want to be in a Q4 planning meeting? I won't be here in Q4." 🤣

Oh, this is...something. Apparently the going away is also part of their regularly scheduled GAMES HOUR.

There is definitely a cultural split here.

Just realized by the end of this month, I will have had to be social THREE DAMN TIMES IN A SINGLE MONTH. 🤣

OK, I have to be virtually social now for my boss' online retirement party being hosted by our overseas team.

But hey, I have my camera off and beer, and it's 9AM their time.

Well, whoever is playing hide & seek with the FCPD, they won.

Turned the scanner on for a bit and the pilot said they'd gone around multiple times (for real, the track on ADS-B exchange looked like spaghetti) and visibility was getting a bit shit, so they were heading home.

Hopefully it's not an axe murderer.
