And another typhoon coming up

elusivekImagine that. This typhoon trajectory screen capture was taken yesterday so the typhoon was not named yet. I just checked again and it's been since named "Ma-On" 馬鞍 which means a saddle, as in a "horse saddle". I was always under the impression that typhoons are named female names "because they are as unpredictable as women are" (something a female teacher taught us while in primary school) but in real life I don't find very many typhoons named actual human names... HOWEVER, it also seems that hurricanes in the US seem to be given female names (Katrina, Wilma) but I just looked up the hurricanes list and I see other names like Nate, Gustav, Jose, and Harvey as well... So I don't know why that teacher in primary school taught us that.
Sorry to the parents as landfall is probably gonna hit right smack on 25-August which is their wedding anniversary. We're gonna be stuck at home. It's said that this typhoon is a strong one, so, going to have to bring in all the potted plants, lest they fly away.
In preparation to face the typhoon, I squeezed in an outdoor run last night. The weather still looks okay-ish today, so I probably would squeeze another one today, or not. Not sure if I will find the time to get to the chiropractor today. If I manage to see him today then no more runs, as I'm not running with my arm in a sling.
Due to some conference room booking mix-up, I had to go back to my "maternal office" LOL. But it irritated me to no end. I'll be the first to admit, I'm no clean freak. I can get pretty messy until my brain decides "hey, let's clean up", and that mess can be really really messy. But this? Cables out, tangled, messed up.
There's that inner track with cover on that conference table, so one can very well hide most of the cables in there. So yeah. While it's still messy, I think I've hidden the worst of it. The laptop is locked there, so people can't take it away, but some bugger somehow broke the computer. A corner of the casing has broken off, so it looks like you're looking at the green base board and a chip (it's on the backside of the screen, or the "cover" of the monitor part, so you can't see it from this angle). Anyway, this is a pretty old laptop and the company is running some rather new windows, IT has to replace it anyway.
