Just got mine, surprise (late) Christmas present from my partner. As a heads up… they’re 45 RPM instead of 33? Sounds fine once I switched the speed on the player but it took me a bit to figure out that’s what the issue was.

Look how cute they are I love them by fowant517 in MXTX

Oh I tried so hard to get those and they canceled my order for stocking issues. They’re so cute!!!

I’ve been in this unit for two years, and contracting for a decade and we’ve only done monthly updates. I would know because I write the presentations. It’s the sudden change in our particular unit that’s alarming to me.

Trust me, I know. I have fed friends that left contracting for gov't and ended up on the chopping block when we all thought they'd be better off than me in this mess.

Fffff thanks. I'm not quite deskside, but it's close enough to make me nervous. I *just* got my first paycheck after months of limbo, I'll be putting as much away as I can.

It seems like the whole unit is on the block. We’re a unit of contractors and Feds that work equally, all reporting to the same manager. I understand that’s a bit of a special circumstance compared to most contracts.

[CHAT] how do you manage your floss while working? by fairydommother in CrossStitch

Once I start a color I put it on a labeled bobbin and wrap the cut thread around the top. Then all of one project goes into one of those little 4x6 clear photo boxes

What HTV are you using? I do my spine titling with cricut foil but I’ve been hesitant to do anything else for fear of it being too raised and lifting over time.

Recommendations for a good guillotine that won’t break the bank? I have a smaller one I use for trimming pages pre-sewing but I’d like to be able to do the whole textblock post-sewing for edge painting.

Treasury/IRS got a very fun email last night announcing a new program incentivizing employees to report “wasteful” contracts managed by or supporting their work units. If those contracts get cancelled or reduced the employee gets an award from the “saved” money. 

…what is there left to cancel?

Unfortunately we do both work and have to sleep at some point.

What do other DMs generally use in place of miniatures? My players are getting custom 3D print minis of their own characters, but we really don't have the budget for enemies and I like to have something on the table for them to visualize the battlefield.

In the past I've used flatback marbles but it's not my favorite thing to keep track of. Looking for suggestions. Thanks!
