You think you know, but you have no idea

I am on vacation AGAIN, which still feels like good motive to post - Lake, you might think, weren't you just on vacation? Yes, but I am still using up the vacation time from 2024 that I did not take because we were so short-staffed the whole flipping year. And now it's July and I haven't used any of 2025's vacation! Of which I have a lot because I have been at my job for twenty years now. Anyway! Our second attempt at finding a full-time third shift person starts on Monday, so I will immediately be training that person - but he has related knowledge in his previous job so should hopefully be a fairly quick train and was looking for something less stressful than his last job, which we are. (Unlike the last person, who quit because she was bored.) Crossing my fingers!

I have not done much while off - took my sister to the new Jurassic movie, which was decent. I am old enough to remember seeing the original in the cinema so none of the ones since have been as good. This one was closer to the original in tone, which I enjoyed, but the dinosaurs are all CGI now, and you can tell. Jonathan Bailey is the Alan Grant-style character in this and he got some good moments, and he's a fine actor, but as I am not a Bridgerton girlie I really don't care about him, lol. (Also his one really Alan moment would have been better if the dinosaurs in it weren't so stupid-looking! Their tails were idiotic! Gah!)

Also watched Sinners, which was great.

I have little else to report. I am still very into The Pitt and have many a WIP - two are basically done and just need me to be in the mood to edit/tinker and then post. I assume I will be in the mood eventually so am just letting the rough drafts be for now. Which is probably a good skill to practice, vs. hurrying up. Also waiting for fandom5k to open; it got pushed back another week so is now much closer to the end of the month. Which does give me more time to do another edit, I suppose.
