Me & My Muse – Day 4586: Academy – Day 1 of 4 – It Begins

Yup.  My training starts today and I need to get going.  Expect very short posts and quick updates.

Where am I?  Let’s just say it’s a “Zoo” here.  🙂  Time to get ready now.

Today’s high is going to be 16 degrees and the silver lining is starting my training.

To those of you who like starting training, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: Good luck for day one of training!

Twin Muse: Don’t forget to have the breakfast downstairs!  *sips coffee* Learn everything you can!

Me & My Muse – Day 4585: Travel Day to Academy

Not a private school, mind you but the name of a four-day training that I will be doing for USPS.

It starts tomorrow, and where I am trained is about three hours away from here.

For this reason, all story arcs will be suspended until the weekend.  That is all.

Today’s high is going to be 15 degrees and the silver lining is having a day to unwind before the training tomorrow.

To those of you who like traveling for work, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse: You need to travel and be at training for the next week?  Good luck with the training, Kyle!

Twin Muse: Stay warm for the training!  *sips coffee* Get plenty of rest for tomorrow!

Me & My Muse – Day 4584: Chilly Makeup Training

That’s it.  Just an all day training in the frigid temperatures and then a much needed journey home, where it’s warm.  Time to do this.

Today’s high is going to be 15 degrees and the silver lining is FINALLY getting my makeup training done.

To those of you who are staying warm inside, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Oh, and the story arc is on hold until further notice.

 

Muse: It’s actually ABOVE 0?  Time to get another cup of hot chocolate!

Twin Muse: I’m right behind you! After this coffee, it’s time for some hot chocolate! I’m so cozy! Good luck on your training, Kyle!

Me & My Muse – Day 4583: BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are not going to believe this.  But as I am typing this, it is EXTREMELY cold outside. It is around -14 degrees outside, and it’s not supposed to get much warmer today.

The other thing that you will not believe is that I have to go back to the hotel today for my makeup LLV training.  It had to be rescheduled yesterday because my trainer wasn’t feeling well.  I will do that tomorrow and then come home.

Today’s high is going to be 9 degrees and the silver lining is being able to stay bundled up and warm.

To those of you who are once again surviving the Michigan Tundra, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Oh, and the story arc is on hold for today once again.

 

Muse: I’m underneath my covers. It’s THAT cold! Good luck on your training!

Twin Muse: I’m underneath my covers with a hot cup of coffee! I am not going anywhere all day!  I’m so cozy! Good luck on your training, Kyle!

Me & My Muse – Day 4582: BRRR!!!!!

As I am typing this, it is very cold outside. It is around 0 degrees outside, and it’s not supposed to get much warmer today.

The week is pretty much over, and there’s some warmer weather in the horizon. For today, I am going to complete my makeup LLV training at the post office.  After that I will go home.

Today’s high is going to be 0 degrees and the silver lining is being able to stay bundled up and warm.

To those of you who are surviving the Michigan Tundra, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Oh, and the story arc is on hold for today.

 

Muse: I’m underneath my covers. It’s THAT cold!  Good luck on your training!

Twin Muse: I’m underneath my covers with a hot cup of coffee! I’m so cozy!  Good luck on your training, Kyle!

Me & My Muse – Day 4581: The Wait Continues

When will my training be rescheduled at the post office?  Only time will tell.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 19 degrees and the silver lining is having time to think and reflect.

To those of you who don’t like waiting, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse: Maybe cold weather will make them work harder?

Dark Muse: Let’s try that tomorrow!  They’ll have to work hard if they want to stay warm! *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4580: Winter Heat Wave

Considering how cold it has been, today is a little warmer.  Time to get ready now.

Today’s high is going to be 30 degrees and the silver lining is having time to think and reflect.

To those of you who are tired of snow, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse: They need to work harder!  Snow or no snow, all of the laborers need to pick it up!

Dark Muse: How about more work?  That will remind them! *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4579: Ice Cold Toast

The title says it all.  What is the best thing you can do on a cold day?  Go to a Toastmasters meeting.  Time to get ready and wait for news from the post office.

Today’s high is going to be 16 degrees and the silver lining is staying warm inside.

To those of you who are staying warm, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse: It worked!  Half of humanity is gone.

Dark Muse: And half are still here!  I think we should have them all work twice as hard! *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4578: Deep Freeze

It’s just another cold day.  That’s about it.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 19 degrees and the silver lining is having some extra time today.

To those of you who are looking forward to Spring, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse: Time to to use it.  Time for the snap.

Dark Muse: Let’s do it. *sips coffee*

*both Midnight Muse and Twin Muse snap their fingers, which wipes out half of humanity*

Me & My Muse – Day 4577: Snowy Sunday

And with that, the daily forced manual labor continues.

Android:  Stop talking!  You will be working from sun up to sun down.  No breaks!

*sigh*  This is but a harsh reminder that my twin muses are still in charge of their new world order.

Android:  Start working or you will be punished!

Time to end this entry and get going, before this android taskmaster gets too upset…OW!!!!

Android:  Didn’t I warn you?  Get out there and work all day!  Slack like that again and you’ll get shocked.

Today’s high is going to be 27 degrees and the silver lining is having this Sunday off….OW!!!!

To those of you who hate being shocked by a taskmaster android and working forced manual labor, I hope that you all have a fantastic day………OW!!!  Okay!  I’ll begin working!!!

 

Midnight Muse: I’m getting reports of some citizens slacking before work.  Should we increase the workload?

Dark Muse: We should.  Also, the Infinity Gauntlet is complete!  Should we try it out and wipe out half of humanity? *sips coffee*

Midnight Muse:  Let’s do it.  I always wanted to see what it was like to be Thanos!  WE…Are inevitable…Labor enforcer androids, increase the workload!  Those lazy laborers will learn what work is or pay!

Me & My Muse – Day 4576: Hot Mess Saturday

Where do I even begin?  For much of today, it was shoveling snow, snow, and more snow.

You know what?  I just won’t.  I’m so over today.  I’m done!

Today’s high is going to be 29 degrees and the silver lining is FINALLY being done with the snow shoveling.

To those of you who are already looking forward to Spring, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse:  Time to…

NOPE!  Story arc is paused until further notice.  I know that I forgot to mention it but it’s paused.

 

Muse:  Goodness!  I’m sorry!  Well, try to have a good day for the rest of the day, okay?

Twin Muse:  Yes!  Have a good day Kyle!  *sips coffee*  You’re inside so enjoy the rest of the Saturday, okay?

Me & My Muse – Day 4575: Lucky Friday

Lucky as in we’re having Lucky’s tonight for my sister’s birthday.

I will now get ready for my sister’s birthday dinner. She will be turning 38, and me and my family will be celebrating that at Lucky’s.  Cake and ice cream will be at her house afterward.

Oh, and the story arc is paused for today.

Today’s high is going to be 34 degrees and the silver lining is celebrating my sister’s 38th birthday.

To those of you who like celebrating your family’s birthdays, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Muse:  Your sister’s turning 38?  Tell her that I said happy birthday!

Twin Muse:  Same!  She’s just a little younger than we are!

Me & My Muse – Day 4574: Weekend Eve

With it almost being the weekend, I’m still waiting for my training.  Time to get started on my day.

Muse:  But first, both me and my sister need to make a formal statement.

Twin Muse:  Yes!  A statement!

What kind of statement!

Muse:  First of all, your ignorance astounds me.  How is it that you are not even aware of who we really are?

Twin Muse:  Perhaps it has to do with our clever disguises?

Disguises?  Let me guess.  You’re Midnight Muse and you’re Dark Muse.

Midnight Muse:  Correct!  I thought you would never figure that out!

Dark Muse:  Really, is he that ignorant?

Wow.  A smart Dark Muse?  No tee hee?  No immature antics?  I guess you won’t be babysitting this time…

Dark Muse:  Why would my sister babysit me?  I have not a single modicum of immaturity in me.  My IQ is over 300 and we’re done it!

Midnight Muse:  Yes. We.  Don’t you notice anything different about your world?

What?

Midnight Muse:  It’s all one mechanical construct all ran by superintelligent AI’s.  These AI’s only answer to us.

Dark Muse:  We’re not talking Grok or ChatGPT here.  We’re talking AI billions and trillions times more intelligent.

Midnight Muse:  And we used it to enslave all of humanity.  Wasn’t that just splendid?

Dark Muse:  We should work on a heinously evil villainous laugh!

Midnight Muse:  We should.  HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! That was just practice.  It needs work.

Well, good luck with that!  What if the superintelligent AI’s turn against you?

Midnight Muse:  They won’t.  WE are the brains of the AI’s CPU and we control their every move!  So much intelligence.  Unlimited intelligence…

Dark Muse:  Such a thrill a feel of the power coursing through my veins…and brain!

Congrats on your New World Order and all that.  What now?

Midnight Muse:  I will incapacitate your One privileges so that there will be no threat to our rule.

Dark Muse:  WE will incapacitate your One privileges so that there will be no threat to our rule.

Midnight Muse:  Sorry.  We.  Ready, my carbon copy counterpart?

Dark Muse:  Ready as I’ll ever be, my malevolent mistress!

*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse flash and shoot a powerful ray at me*

Urghh…Energy draining…Feeling weak…Privileges are….gone….

Midnight Muse:  Wow! What a dopamine rush!

Dark Muse:  Don’t forget oxytocin!  Such a mixture of thrill and pleasure in all that new power flowing into us!

Midnight Muse:  Nothing will stop us now!  Come, my sister.  We will watch every episode of Star Trek.  Taking over the world was way too easy.

Dark Muse:  The Brain should’ve just let you do it.

Midnight Muse:  Correct?  Indeed, that rodent should’ve given the reins to us.  Time to beam up!

*both Midnight Muse and Dark Muse vanish in a beam of light*

Great.  I am now powerless to stop my twin Muses from their New World Order.

Android:  That will be enough.  You will be doing manual labor for the rest of your life.

What?!  Why?

Android:  That’s the ruler’s orders.  You and all of humanity need to work.  All children are in care facilities until they are of age.

Such a cruel new world.

Android:  Enough with the criticism!  Work or you will be punished!

Fine!  Time to begin my manual labor now.

Today’s high is going to be 23 degrees and the silver lining is the weekend almost being here.

To those of you who hate a sudden totalitarian new world order ran by a couple of brainiac twin Muses, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

Midnight Muse: I love this episode of Star Trek!  The world is already conquered.  What should we design next?

Dark Muse: How about the Infinity Gauntlet?  We could recreate the stones and wipe out half of humanity in the universe in a single snap!  *sips coffee*  Just an idea…

Me & My Muse – Day 4573: The Wait Continues

While my academy has been rescheduled, I am still waiting for one more thing to come through: my remedial training.  Once this is scheduled, everything will be good to go.  I’ll keep you posted.

To those of you who are waiting for the weekend, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Twin Muse: It will have to be before Monday, since that’s a federal holiday.  Keep us posted! *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4572: Change of Plans

I didn’t quite pass my training so a makeup will need to be rescheduled.  This means no training today or the rest of the week.  That’s it.  I’ll keep you posted.

Today’s high is going to be 45 degrees and the silver lining is having time to think and reflect.

To those of you who sometimes have to resort to plan B, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Twin Muse: You can do it!  Give it your all on the next one! *sips coffee*

Twin Muse: Learn everything about driving ask lots of questions! Good luck! *sips coffee*

Me & My Muse – Day 4570: Movie and a Sushi Done Slow

With today being a quiet day of reflection, I decided to make this one short today. Also, it’s the perfect day to go to the movies to see The Spongebob Movie: Search for Squarepants and have some sushi at Fuji Sushi.  I will need to shovel some snow before hand.  After that, I need to  prepare for tomorrow.  Time to get ready.

Today’s high is going to be 32 degrees and the silver lining is having this day off to unwind.

To those of you who are enjoying your Sunday, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

Muse: That speedrun was so awesome!  That Super Mario 64 70 Star: 70 Person Relay Race was awesome!

Twin Muse:  Yeah!  They reached $2.4 Million and were able to end the marathon with $2,443,414.  AWESOME marathon!
