It might be Thursday, but it feels like Friday. :dead:


Supposed to have my yearly goals and whatever entered today. I ain't doing it; not sure how I'm supposed to create goals and stuff when I don't even know who my manager is, what my new title is or what my role on the team is now.. oh well. :wait:

Anyways, it's pissing rain here. Had a blast sliding around on mush last night on the fat bike. I'm assuming fat biking is done for the season now.

At home recharging my social battery. Amazing how draining a single day at the office can be.

Will mix in collecting more brush to build another fire tomorrow. Slowly but surely cleaning up the years of neglect.

In the 'office' today.
Raining, so no playing outside. Unless I get the motivation to break out the snowshoes to go pack down an extreme fartbike trail. Spotted a 30ft 60deg wall that might be fun skidding down. ;)

Level of FTS just broke the meter. If I make it through today with out quitting I’ll consider that a win. I enjoy my customers and don’t want to leave them hanging but the complete and utter dumpster fire of an agency where I work, that’s another story. Spent the evening last nigh determining how to make working for myself work. . . Not there yet.

Caving in and going to see someone about a niggling hip injury that's been plaguing me for nearly month. Also developed an annoying cough yesterday, with no other symptoms of sickness. Way too busy at work, haven't been able to get outside at all, but maybe that's for the best considering the hip pain.

Hi lol. WFH....got work to do but no motivation to do it. I've got to carve out some time out in the next few days to see the new John Wick movie. I'll be going solo since nobody I know is interested in seeing it.

I have no idea where I am
Been leaving peanuts on the kitchen sink window sill for the birds for years now. One of the moar assertive House Wrens will actually come to my bedroom window if I am not up yet. So this morning while she was looking in the window I decided to see if she would take a peanut out of my hand, she did. Pretty cool having a bird eat out of your hand.

In the bathroom, fighting a battle
Woke up to an angry email because I've been ignoring another email chain about one of my projects, and failed to make all the requested updates. You know who they forgot to include in said email chain? Me, the PM. Smart corporate big-wig people we hired are really worth their pay.

Not sure how big of a dick I should be about it? Go the snarky route and laugh it off, or call our new VP a fuckwit on a teams call. I think my job is secure enough to run with the latter of those options.

Had a fantastic night ride last night. Hopefully moar of those are in store for me. Theres just nobody around and my phone doesn't ring. It's the best. Two days of binging on dried cots and fresh apple is catching up to me. Fire in the hole!

Taking Monday to a hip cat groomer for another lion cut. I'm hoping he might have some tips for avoiding this from now on. She's a trooper, though.

I saw that on teh stravas. That's a long time to row! I never could tolerate it for nearly that long, thus me selling my Concept2 and all.

Don't need to be a dick, but you also don't need to suck it up and take it.

if it ain't on strava...

honestly I put on some open water rowing videos and tried to zone out, just do some low impact stuff. It mostly worked, but I was 1500m shy of my goal. Still, it helps to break up time on the bike.
