292nd day sober. I woke up around 4 so I decided I'm not going to the post office tonight. I got some practice in last night but ... not enough. But at least I'm being consistent.
I had a big combination order to pack, among the things some lab glassware. The lab glass was so disorganized, I took all the boxes down and put them in the office and went through them, and there were something like 6 places a given graduated cylinder might be. So I re-organized everything into 4 large boxes and a few small ones. And got the combination order packed to take to FedEx tomorrow.
There's more talk about Ukraine on the radio, and at one point it was actually kind of funny. When Ukraine was part of the USSR, they had plenty of bomb shelters. But now that Ukraine has decided to live under glorious capitalism, they still have the bomb shelters but the problem, as described by one Ukranian, is that they've been "privatized" so they're now almost all privately owned and used for things like take-out kitchens and even brothels.
You can't even make this stuff up. I certainly agree with Putin that the collapse of the USSR is the greatest misfortune of the 20th century. Even Ken says that he misses the USSR because once it fell, life got a lot worse here in the US. There's no longer the threat of a better system.
