Kind: Notes

You guys, it has been a long ass week. I'm hoping to be able to spend tomorrow wrapping things up from said week so they are at a point where they can hang out paused for the weekend while I engage in some rest and relaxation. For the time being, the beer I promised myself is in hand and the first swallow has gone down my gullet. It's so refreshing.

I think I will reward myself with a beer later on.

Me: Sends long email answering all the questions in as much detail as I can at this point.

Them: "sounds good. Does $time work for you?"

Me, in my head: "You little moron, why are you still trying to turn this into a meeting there is literally nothing I can tell you in that meeting that I didn't already say in an email and I really can't stand it when people waste my time just because they need to have a security blanky or whatever."

Sheesh.

Get in #babkans and other #fedizens we're doing Thursday.

#Today has been brought to you by: Marketers ruining everything and attempting to turn what can absolutely be taken care of in an email into meetings. I'm hoping the emails are satisfactory because I am just not in the mood to people today.

We put in a tiny grocery order this morning, and other than that are just trying to stay warm while we listen to some graphic audio. I'm working on my third cup of coffee.

I took a bit of an unscheduled nap, and I have zero regrets.

I just realized that the sound for destroying a buffer in this client is the sound of a flame thrower, or at least the manufactured sound of one, and this makes my day way more than it should.

Get in #babkans and other #fedizens we're halfway through Wednesday. (I typed Tuesday and had to erase and retype in case you're wondering how today is going).

It's still frickin freezing outside. The temperature was 11F/-11.67C this morning when I went out to get this week's clean laundry, and I still need to put that away.

Also, the Apple Watch John got me for my birthday never made it here yesterday even though UPS said it had been delivered, so Apple is sending another one since the customer service representative looked at the delivery photo and said he could see nothing in the photo.

Other than that, I'm just working on stuff, specifically, sending emails going back and forth about meetings.

Get in #babkans and other #fedizens we're doing Tuesday. Actually, we're most of the way through Tuesday.

It's of course frickin freezing out there Mr. Bigglesworth, and there's about an inch of snow on the front porch and I think we're expecting more but I'm not sure.

Since my birthday is coming up next week, John, who is the best husband in the world, got me a new Apple Watch, and I'm waiting on that to get here. Since it's shipping by UPS, and I don't want it to sit outside in the cold, I'm periodically checking outside for it.

I just had some chicken, broccali and potato soup for lunch, so the house smells like that for now. We just did a small grocery order and other than that I'm working and John's relaxing on the couch.

OK I think it's bedtime for web developers. Night all.

Leopards, faces, ETC. "Bill O’Reilly OUTRAGED Over Florida Pulling His Books" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzznE_NQ5fo

Oh yay more snow is coming within the next hour.

That email I had to send turned into a phone call, but it's done so I'm getting ready to wind down my day and get a snack.

It's just barely 3PM and I'm sleepy. On the other hand, got stuff done today and I think the only thing left that absolutely has to be done is to send one last email.

So I finally upgraded to Windows 11 yesterday. So far, definitely don't like the copilot in the side panel, and some things tend to be sluggish. I noticed the emoji keyboard took a bit to load once I pressed the keystroke. Maybe I'm just not used to it. Anyway, I'm now using Windows 11 whether I like it or not.

Testing local posting with this client. :eye:

Evening #babkans and other #fedizens. I am here to tell you that food poisoning sucks, and that while I'm definitely feeling better after being very sick yesterday I'm still pretty wrung out Hoping tomorrow is better. #today

So John's phone started ringing and I kept pressing the control key on my keyboard to shut it up because this is how you make the screen reader shut up and clearly this means I should walk away from work stuff for today.

Get in #babkans and #fedizens we're doing Tuesday *and* we're starting the normal working days of 2024.

I started off the morning with an immediate project delay consisting of a headache that I'd rather not deal with this early in the year, but other than that things are normal here. John and I are just having our morning coffee and breakfast has been consumed. I'll be working on personal projects today as well as getting some house work done.
