Day full of meetings. Dislike.
Older coworker came to me for career advice yesterday. That's a new one, especially since I still feel like a kid. At what point do you stop feeling like a kid and start feeling like one of the old guys?
the thing i've realized about adulthood is that nobody knows what they're doing.
Sounds like your shower issues are fixed, then.
I am knee deep is nerd stuff. A 64-byte network frame at gigabit speed is transmitted in .7us. My brain has a hard time grasping that timeframe.
I mean, my last gig was dealing with laser drills and 5 micron holes thousands of times a second, so it makes sense that data needs to be presented quickly in an environment like that. It's just my first time dealing with the actual delivery of said data.
My whole career has been spent at the application layer, so getting "behind the scenes" is cool. My boss made a comment 90% of software engineers have no idea what happens bellow the application layer.

HEY lmfao. Slept late, then ran 5 miles. I signed up for a 5K race this Saturday, figuring it'd be fun to run one with rested legs for a change since I tend to do them as workouts when my legs are already gassed.
Hey friends. Still feeling a bit weird, like vertigo or the aftereffects of a migraine (or the strong medicine I use to fight them). Feels a bit like having COVID brain fog, but it's not COVID. It's put me off riding for a couple of days and seems to get worse in the afternoon when I feel like riding. Maybe there's a CO leak somewhere
In other news, got the new wheels on the spooky and am prepping to move the old ones to the TT bike and sell it. I love working on bikes, it's so rewarding.
Also, attended a soccer placement meeting last night. What a huge waste of time that was. Kind of wish I let the other coaches attend, as I couldn't even speak about my own daughter and there wasn't even an opportunity to suggest anybody from our team (let alone my kid) could move up to the next run. Mostly just frustrating and time consuming.

Interview over lunch today. Would be a position with a quite large and very corporate Ag inputs company. We’ll see what he has to say.
We finally got some rain. 1.1”. Still about 15” short of normal. But I’ll take it.
That's a new one. What's the cause? Water main break?
*Almost* nobody. It's interesting when you run into that occasional person that DOES know what they are doing...
Isn't it? Quite mind boggling when you meet someone that knows their path and follows it.
And to think I'm stumblefucking my way along wondering if I'm the one with a problem.
I've told numerous supervisors over the years, "I'm not a goal-oriented individual."
Interviews and new jobs seem to be a trend around here lately. I've been feeling the itch, and this is not helping.

I never know how to answer the, "where do you hope to be in X years?" question. Alive, I guess?I've told numerous supervisors over the years, "I'm not a goal-oriented individual."
Happens too often up here because the pipes are all too old and each little neighborhood is responsible for their lateral line off the main. We keep camping water containers filled for such occasions. Happens more often in the winter.
Not sure why they've had to turn it off at the main this time, rather than just isolate the lateral that has the break...
I can smell forest fire smoke again.
working from home. alone. which is the best caus' I don't have to wear pants and I can shit with the door open!
ride night. I hope the smokes dissipates.

Hopefully it stays away!
Amazing day on the north end of the island yesterday. Picked up some fresh off the boat fish on the way home and had a fantastic dinner. I should go to the beach and do that again. There's always money in the banana stand.
You getting rona symptoms?Little sleep, sore throat, almost no voice this morning. Onward!
That's why I asked
Ooof.
Slightly better than catching mrsa in the hospital I guess. Take care of yo self.
Here. Haley's 11 today. Getting her new kart will be kind of like a bday present.
Still anxious about the kart and insurance. I walked off a cliff yesterday paying for that kart and I don't have a parachute yet with regards to how much insurance is going to cover. I tried to phone in a friend to my parents and they basically said 'Tough shit. Figure it out on your own, we had to.' Given their current position, talk about pulling up the ladder...
And I went through some retirement planning details with another colleague who is at retirement age. She's always thought that she was going to have to work forever and she's actually able to retire right now - early even. So she's working final details with her husband before pulling the trigger.
That will gut all of the senior people on our team and leave us effectively fucked for 6mos+ while we get new people, but fuck it they need to get theirs.

I keep telling the younger kid (26) on my team to move one. Smart as hell, motivated, etc. He's too good for this job and I've been pushing him for 6mos. Our broader internal sales team had him do a presentation about his role to a new client a few weeks ago. I did a bunch of prep work and coaching in advance, and it really well - we got the contract largely because of how he presented. They are telling him to interview for an open position on their team with the Director coaching him in preparation. So he'll be moving upwards shortly.

Just paid the truck bill, $4175. Ouch. We are having half the downstairs refloored Monday and Tuesday, so we leave Saturday for 4 days to "relax". That $10k this month, I feel so much lighter now.
yeah, they're a little mealy. local tomahtoes haven't come in yet...I hope those tomatoes taste better than they look.
