how to rub your prostate

There's so much terrible stuff to discuss for Moody Monday, how about I try a different direction this week?

This YouTube video has almost too much joking around, but there is important biological and psychological information throughout. They discuss the many names involved in this topic: male g-spot, p-spot, prostate. Keep in mind that this video is very much not safe for work, not safe for the bus, not safe for most crowded environments. Listen at your own risk. I'll leave the link here with the title.

"How to rub your prostate?" (YouTube, 34 minutes)

I'm not sure how practically they answer the central question posed by the video title. It's a fascinating discussion, though, regardless of what preconceptions or history you bring to it yourself.

Monday after work, I did eventually walk to the store to buy some whisky. That strategy was good. I slept well that night.

Tuesday morning was a "snow day" at my remote job. I logged in for work and saw the notice that it was called off until noon due to local (in Pennsylvania) snow conditions. I also saw a coworker asking for someone to take his shift, because he needed to help a friend with a bad car situation. I (foolishly?) agreed, so I worked the skeleton crew to continue working on tickets that morning. It was another very busy day, though less busy than Monday.

Wednesday had more people on staff all day, but it was still a busier-than-usual Wednesday workload. I was glad when it was over, though, and my "weekend" began.

Thursday and Friday resulted in almost no accomplishments at all (well, some laundry), which was glorious.

Saturday morning, we had half of our crew out sick. And it was still a busier-than-usual day, so the few of us left were busy all day. On weekends, I usually have some free time to read Dreamwidth or the news, and I never opened the web browser that day.

Today, finally, full crew on staff and reasonable workload. "Normal" is such a nice distraction.

Normally, my team working on 40-50 tickets per hour is a respectable pace. About 2.5 years ago, during the semester start of the worst semester of workload at my job, we crossed 100 tickets per hour a few times. That experience was awful.

Today, I saw 85 tickets per hour once, and 70+ tickets per hour at 2 other times. That, plus we had about 1/3 of our full-time staff out for vacation or sick leave, so the workload was higher for those of us who remained. It was a very busy day.

I had other topics planned for Moody Monday discussion, but I don't have the mental bandwidth for it now. If I had any booze in the house, I'd be drinking it. I may still dress warm and walk to the store to buy some. Despite marijuana being legal in Minnesota for 3 years already, there's still no widespread deployment yet. Too bad, since if I had any edibles in the house, I'd be eating that too. This article talks about the slow rollout here, and it even mentions firefighters as another group of workers needing edibles to make their brains stop rehearsing the stressors of the day.

If any regular readers here (whether you currently even have a Dreamwidth account or not) would like a regular Paid account for a year, then send me a private message from your Dreamwidth account through the Inbox. I will send you a gift subscription.

This post from Dreamwidth admins reminded me of their tradition of encouraging gift subscriptions at Dreamwidth. This FAQ page explains the benefits of Paid versus Free accounts. I don't really understand the point system, so I'm sticking with the Paid offer for this year.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
