Vincent Kompany has received an MBA from Manchester Business School. Looks like he put all that time injured into good use. Smart guy.

FFF:

I bought three books (The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, Gigi and Chéri, both by Colette), ate a ton of crap and watched a K-Drama at work this week.

I’d have loved having him at United. What a wonderful man. And very smart getting a degree and preparing for life post-footy.

Oh is it transfer season again?!

the transfer window opens Jan 01st

But everyone is wrapping up deals already.

[lady_teazle]

January is nigh! 🤪

I'm quite annoyed that Archive of Our Own started actually removing deleted fics.

I used to be able to dig up fics that were gone for years. Thankfully the Wayback Machine helped me this time.

what you mean

[jazzypom]

Supposedly that wasn't their fault

RE: what you mean

[meliadoul]

No, I mean if the author deleted their fic it wasn't gone from the AO3 server. As long as you had the story ID number and author name you could dig up any fic an author deleted without the Wayback Machine or any other internet cache.

my partner & I had a date on Wednesday and it started snowing while we were in Star Wars and it basically hasn't quit since then. I'm not ready for this part of the winter

normal work shifts don't start for another week (but I go back Tuesday for prep shifts)

also I still haven't quite made my reading goal but I'm close so I think I'll make it this year!

RE: fff

[dextrosinistral]

[funhouse]
