IRK is a JERK!!
12How dare that ignorant rag-doll not reward my nightly Midnight check-in to snag a box that was named after him?? He (It??) was AWOL the ENTIRE month of January!! Why, if I wasn’t a God-Fearing person like Auntie Em who once said to Almira Gulch, “just because you own half the county doesn’t mean you have the power to run the rest of us. For twenty-three years, I’ve been dying to tell you what I thought of you. And now, well, being a Christian woman, I can’t say it!” I’d … I’d … dang you IRK!! You’re now a vague and distant sad memory to me!!

Good news! The “randomly occurring event” is still right on schedule to happy again…randomly. Turns out the next one is set for “eventually” so that’s gotta count for something.
@ExtraMedium
Aw dang. And I thought they were set for “you just never know when”!
I think IRK’s timing has gotten wonky.
@ExtraMedium
Is this the Biblical “eventually”, or the teenager-chores version, or the Southern “when ah git round tuit”? I’m personally betting on the latter.
@ExtraMedium I hope you placed a big order with Archie McPhee.
@sammydog01 I prefer to do my Archie McPhee shopping in person as the PNW team rep. Unfortunately, they don’t let me buy products for the sales.
@ExtraMedium If I ever get to that part of the country a shopping trip will be on my list.

How do you really feel about it?
In today’s email:
On the other hand, we’re all much better rested this month…
@shahnm Looks potentially like a sleepless night is headed our way.
@shahnm I set my alarm for 11pm Central every night to not miss it if/when it happened…thankfully, most nights I was able to fall back asleep fairly quickly after the realization that I could and not risk missing out on the Athon not taking place.
@cbilyak @shahnm
I stayed up every night in January to check bc after I didn’t win one of the great ones December I was definitely gonna win this time.
Maybe I’ll stay up and check, maybe I won’t. My expectations have been lowered. And in the winter, the call of the blankets is strong…
@werehatrack yeah. I had been checking regularly every night in anticipation, but sick and needing sleep now, so I may not bother staying up late if in the next few days even if I know one is coming.
Right now prioritizing health over yet more trackrs.

Oh man…wait until tomorrow/Wednesday…I think we might have a snow day…it’s supposed to be a complete disaster. Plus it will be Ground Hog Day, that way we can relive it over and over and over and over…
@sunnysideup22 whoa… a Groundhog Day mehrathon??? How would one ever get out of the repeat? Surely not just winning an irk will get you out.
@raccoon81 @sunnysideup22
Worst of all, you would have to score an IRK every single loop or you would have no way of being sure that you had one when the repeat stops.
