Mornin!

Not sure I really slept last night, just took a series of short naps. Watched the minutes tick by from 4 am onward before getting out of bed at 430. Oof. Maybe I'll sleep well tonight...

Good Morning!!

I was feeling pretty low yesterday about work...I have a co-worker that gave me some positive words out of the blue - said he could tell there was something off about my general positive outlook and wanted to make sure I was all good. I certainly appreciated it, and have decided to put off burning this bitch to the ground for at least a week.

I have ZZ Top's "Deguello" cranked in the earbuds, some coffee on the desk and a bag of M&M's. Let's go get at it.

A good ride was had last night despite it being on water-glazed snow. snome peeps had broken the crust with snowshoes and crampons, so it was pretty decent, despite my tubeless setup losing air, and having to install a tube mid-ride. it was 5 freedom° out, so fucking with a tube kinda sucked. as did standing around waiting for me to fix my tube I'd imagine.... beers and burgers afterwards were very welcome.

today is a PD-day for the kids. dropped them off at forest camp this morning. it's a beatiful, sunny 0°F out. -14°F with the wind. I hope they stay out of the wind. I'm jelly. today is going to be a gong-show at work.

Here. Getting info on new role with the new position. A lot of the managerial stuff will be taken away and I will be going back to "special projects" with clients. Focusing on high value and high priority clients. It's nice working with grown ups... rich grown ups.

Got woken up mid-way through my 6 hours of sleep last night because Haley had a nightmare. I couldn't put forth the effort to put her to bed so we ended up with both the dog and Haley in our bed last night.

Met a client last night and had two beers (Bohemian Ale, yum!) which left me sleepless again.



It's blowin' like Stormy Daniels up here.
Have you thought seeing if you are allergic to alcohol or some forms of yeast? Staying awake from beer makes no sense. @Toshi can we get some thoughts?

Yes I have considered that. I'll talk to my Doc and see if they can test.

Also, at first I thought you said "staying away from beer makes no sense".

Nutella is like a premium equivalent of peanut butter in France, no? Would you not go buy a premium product for 25% in bulk if you could? What if you could never afford it before? Would you not make it a priority? This is a example of disparity of wealth and the kind of economic clashes we will probably start seeing on the street level as that disparity grows.
On a side note, there are also notable floods occurring in France, including Paris, currently.

I wouldn't really equate it to PB. There is no PB in France. A mark, right there, of a failed and uncivilized society. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité be damned.

but seriously, I don't really think Nutella is considered a "premium" product. It's more like a treat for your kids. Same way having pancakes/waffles for breakfast is here... over there, it's a treat to have on your bread for breakfast every once in a while, but not every day. And yeah, while it's a little expensive, the main reason its not a daily staple is because it's not healthy. Malbouffe would be what they call it...

Alcohol is a depressant, but once your body processes it the rebound/withdrawel causes the opposite affect, higher blood pressure/increased metabolism.

Alcohol only helps with sleep if you keep drinking.

Sat through a design review presentation as an industry advisor for Berkeley's Hyperloop concept. All the other industry sponsors just gave them praise. I grilled the nerds. Don't know if I will be invited back.

Always better to work with law enforcement. The first day the DMV showed up the lease holder (guy i fucking hate) his female minion threw them out of their office. This is their retaliation. Im not going to say how they found out about the location. My cousin helped the DMV form these task forces and get funding to go after these illegal yards.
