3969: The Future Starts With You
I feel annoyed that it's TECHNICALLY Wednesday and I'm only just starting next week's comic... X/
In my defense, I normally take Monday off, especially if I have to work late to get the week's comic done, but today was really no excuse. All I know is the house is vaguely cleaner but not nearly as clean as I'd like it where my efforts were focused, and I can't see the clean bits for the parts that are still a mess.
Like, I still have so much PTSD from living in mess, both having grown up in it [not understanding any better] and living with it for too many years after [which I won't spell out but basically I moved out of mess and back into mess]. Yes, I have an utter inability to organize my shit. To be fair, it feels like I could spend my days 24/7/365 organizing and still not get anywhere, and it's definitely better than it was, but I find I get addicted to "arrange shit in a rigid grid structure" types of games BECAUSE it gives me the control I can't get in real life.
Which is either insightful or just sad, but at least I can recognize it for what it is.
Anyway, I only just decided on the next comic's punchline, as it were. Was in the air about it for a little too long, since the comic following it will be a little oversized [six panels vs. four], but hopefully I can redouble my efforts and get this done early-ish...?
[pffff]
My father wrote again asking how the hurricane went--pretty much some branches and the odd brownout [longest lasting like five seconds]--and suggestedOr you can wait until after Labor Day, when Obama unveils his version of Franklin D. Roosevelt's WPA and/or CCC. I think it stood for Work Project Agency and Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC worked to maintain the National Parks and other federal properties, while increasing the employment numbers and serving in lieu of the military draft.
Personally, I thought Obama should have done the WPA thing a long time ago, putting money directly into individuals' pockets rather than giving money (bailouts) to the various banks, etc., with the hope that it would trickle down to the people. The only thing that trickled down to the people (as they politically correctly called the peons) was yellow-colored liquid. Hence the term pee-on.
Well, that'll be nice, if so. The job thing, not the pee-on bit =/
Would also be nice if my damned e-mail password WHICH I BOTH WROTE DOWN AND NEVER CHANGED would work, so I don't have to wait 24 hours to get the OPTION to answer my security question! I really don't know about this, Yahoo! Mail. There's caution, and there's fucking obnoxious. [I guess in theory it's a good idea, but I wish I could say, "This is a junk e-mail, it doesn't need this fucking excessive security bullshit." As far as I'm going to get with that.]
