So in April, my firm made the decision to cut everyone's salary by 10%. All good, no one lost their jobs. Starting this month, we were to get that 10% back. Awesome.

Today is the first automatic deposit with our previous salaries. It didn't come. The firm is freaking out and I just yelled at my Google mini to play "calming music."

I do feel better.

Hopefully that gets fixed, pronto.

Congrats on making it through the week CC. Hope the trip goes well. What were the options again?
 
Different options this time.
Could be Colorado, New Mexico or South Dakota is what I’m hearing.
 
‘Viking’ was a job description, not a matter of heredity, massive ancient DNA study shows | Science | AAAS

Viking-style graves excavated on the United Kingdom’s Orkney islands contained individuals with no Scandinavian DNA, whereas some people buried in Scandinavia had Irish and Scottish parents. And several individuals in Norway were buried as Vikings, but their genes identified them as Saami, an Indigenous group genetically closer to East Asians and Siberians than to Europeans. “These identities aren’t genetic or ethnic, they’re social,” Jarman says. “To have backup for that from DNA is powerful.”


The DNA has raised new questions, too. Study co-author and National Museum of Denmark archaeologist Jette Arneborg says DNA recovered from burials in Greenland shows a mix of Scandinavian men from what is now Norway and women from the British Isles. Yet the artifacts and burials look completely Scandinavian. The women “have British genes but we can’t see them in the archaeology,” she says. “The DNA is going to make us think more about what’s happening here.”


Viking is a state of mind, man.


 
That was not new as far as Viking being a profession, but Vikings who were not Scandanavian is definitely new to me.
 
I think he thinks that although no one else believes he is taking it seriously. He is probably actually off his medication. His wife has even said as much before when he would go off and do bizarre things in public. He gets manic and with the money and fame he has it is a lot more obvious than when a non-celebrity goes off their meds.
 
I'm just glad that means the Timmverse will eventually be on HBO Max.
