I think I’ve spent more time on Facebook today than I have in the last two years or something. 馃檪

One more sleep computer, one more sleep. And then, … Complete reset to factory defaults. Yay!

Facebook, you really need breadcrumbs. Seriously. I hate your rabbit holes.

I have a new desk chair! With working wheels! And that doesn’t drop back down to the floor when I sit on it after raising it! I can reach the whole keyboard again, which probably means I’ll be more productive. Also, not having to rest my wrists on the desk, which has made typing painful as of late. Definitely a happy, grateful and thankful developer.

I let the laundry creep up on me, and now there’s a ton. Resolving that now.

And it’s amazing how much more I’m tempted to post on my own blog with the social media clients not running on this box.

This can’t be a bad thing.

I lost some more pounds.

Specifically, I have 19.5 pounds till my ultimate goal.

Losing isn’t always a bad thing.

From Twitter: ” Adults who love Minions: who hurt you?” My response: “I don’t think you really want us to answer that question.”

Idea people are excellent. They push the world in directions it’s afraid to go and we’re better for it. Implementers and developers are also excellent. They tug on the leashes of the idea people and bring them back to the ground. And the world needs both.

That is all.

I was supposed to go work out this morning at 10. That didn’t happen. I finally got the cancellation call around 11:15.

Still tired, even though I slept reasonably well last night, except for that waking up at 03:15.

Going to the store later on to get necessities. We can’t have an apocalypse resulting from zero coffee.

Finally, I’m in an extremely synical mood today. I’m going through my RSS feed, and everything I come across seems like bullshit. This is probably not the case, and I will revisit later on. But the heat’s making me cranky as well. I would like to reboot today and start over.

I’m going to the South Carolina Assistive Technology Expo today, and I’m putting things together so that I have everything I need to take notes for later content on Customer Servant Consultancy. Then I realized I was almost forgetting two very important things: the extra battery for the phone/iPad and the E-cig. Forgetting either of those would have been not so good. So yeah, packing all the things.

I was putting my phone on Do Not Disturb in preparation for tonight’s Toast Masters meeting. I accidentally started music play in the process. Good thing no one in their new who Kevin bloody Wilson is. And it’s also a good thing I didn’t let the music play long enough for the lyrics to start. That could’ve gotten real ugly real fast.

Afterwords Barbara and I went to Zacksby’s for dinner. My order number was 68, so I was sure Barbara would get 69, thus ensuring that we wouldn’t lose at perversion for the evening. Sadly, this was not the case. Someone at the drive-through got 69. So no matter how you Cut it, I lost at perversion all the way around this evening. Oh well, tomorrow’s another day.

Last night, as I was getting ready for bed at 9:30, I had an idea.

I knew I didn’t want to sleep late, so I set an alarm. Well, only problem is, the alarm is on the phone, and the phone charges by my bed.

So when the alarm went off at 6 this morning, I reached over and turned it off, and promptly fell back to sleep.

I rolled out of bed at 11 and am still working on my first cup of coffee. Note to self: Plug the phone in somewhere else so I have to get out of bed to turn off the alarm.

I walked over to the conference center this morning, and left the computer at the hotel because I knew it wouldn’t even come close to lasting the whole day on battery. It turns out that every row in both rooms where the talks are taking place has an outlet strip so that people can plug in computers to use to take notes, do social things, whatever. Consequently I will be bringing the computer and cord tomorrow.

Today has been one of those days. I think the only productive thing I’ve done today is check and answer some emails, and download a plug-in boilerplate for some projects.
Right now I’m sitting outside enjoying a beer. I’m pretty much going to count this day as a mental health day. I’ll get back to productivity later.
I don’t know when later will be, and right now I’m really not worried about it. There’s a lot to be said for taking some down time, and I don’t do nearly enough of that. So here’s to me. Everyone play along and raise your glasses.

I finally found the Fitbit. It ended up under the set of shelves that sits beside my bed. I must have unvelcrowed the band in my sleep. Yeah, definitely a restless night. It felt weird not wearing it yesterday. I’ve worn it almost constantly ever since I got it. I never got as attached to either my Basis band or my ActiveLink. The Fitbit has been one of the best investments I’ve made, and I’m thinking of also getting the scale to go with it. That should make my assimilation complete.

As I was getting ready to go to bed last night, I put my Fitbit sleep band on and shoved the Fitbit in, and then put it in sleep mode. So far, so good. Then I woke up this morning. Fitbit and band have disappeared. They’re probably under the covers somewhere, but I have no idea where at this point. I need a Find my Fitbit app to help in these situations. That way, when I sluff my sleep band off at night, I can find it again in the morning.

I find it ironic that, on a holiday that celebrates the contribution of workers, and that is supposed to be an extra day of rest and enjoyment for those workers, most of the aforementioned workers are … working. At least the ones I know. Happy Labor Day everybody, and if you happen to have the day off, enjoy yourselves.

'You shall not pass!' For now I'll just let Penny think she makes the rules.

It is so nice out here right now. We got a head start on the heat and turned the ceiling fan on high in the gazebo so even later in the day when it creeps up towards 90 it’ll still be bearable. Guess who’s not motivated to do any work?
