Kind: Notes

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

The laundry has been brought in and sent out, and I'm tired. John is playing around with Goldwave I think, we're going to do pizza for lunch I think, and then I'm going to take a nap I think since sleep wasn't particularly awesome last night.

Yes, I know, that's lots of thinking. It's just that my brain isn't really working.

I think I'm done with all site editor tasks for today. Wow that's mind-numbingly repetitive.

OK I've switched the playlist to our smooth jazz list, because it's approaching 2PM in the afternoon and I'm getting that 2 o'clock feeling, and I probably need to quit with the caffeine.

Mmmm Infected Mushroom.

The WordPress site editor is making me want to have a cigarette. Which I haven't had since last March.

It's not that you can't use it with a screen reader, you can. It's just that activating/clicking eight different things to accomplish a single task is nightmarishly inefficient, and I honestly can't fathom why anyone would consider this preferable to, say, banging your head repeatedly against a wall.

Marketers who think they can design and build websites are a huge part of the reason the web is so fucked up on every level. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

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

I slept better last night, and it's a good thing too because this will be a busy morning for both myself and John. He's already at his desk and we both have coffee in hand ready to seize the day. We'll see what happens this afternoon.

Come on Siri voice hurry up and download I want to use this on my new watch like I was using it on my old one.

OK that's it shove Ben Shapiro back into whatever locker he crawled out of as quickly as possible. https://forward.com/culture/music/577869/ben-shapiro-facts-rap-tom-macdonald/

Dinner has been consumed. We had subs and chips. We have now commenced coasting through the rest of the day.

We're winding down the day and waiting on a small grocery order. Before I forget, our Instacart shopper this time is one we've had before, and he is made of win.

New rule: If you've created a user interface of any kind, and you try to get cute with it by attempting to use the most cringeworthy rap lyrics as labels and instructions, and I still have to use your shitty product because work, I fucking hate you forever and will probably devote at least some energy to figuring out how to trash you and your user interface online where it'll make you famous.

Wow I ended up taking a morning nap after breakfast. Let's see how the rest of the day goes after that.

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

I didn't sleep well last night, so today is going to be a long day. I'll manage it though.

Really Firefox? I have an hour left of work and you're going to sit here and tell me you have another update? For fuck sake!

From my email: Adobe: "Come back and use pdf tools in Microsoft apps." Me: "No fuck you I'm not giving you any more money quit sending me emails."

After having to set up several different rules to deal with AT&T mail, I'm convinced that they send email from a ton of different addresses as a passive-aggressive welcome to new users. "Welcome to AT&T! The emails will continue until morale improves!

No wait why do you hate us we only want to help?"

That was an unexpected afternoon nap. I guess I'll be up later tonight.
