Breathing a sigh of relief for Austin, while worrying about peeps in CA and a huge swatch of the northeast. Weather, man.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Yeah, it really sounds conclusive that the Austin bomber is DED. That's decent news to wake up to.
And Boston got moved back to the 3-5" snow prediction for later this afternoon -- much better than the amount they've been predicting for most of the past week.

Punishingly Intricate
One of these review periods, I'm going to finally follow through on the threat I've made since I started in the tech industry and list"Stop trying to kill my coworkers with my brain"Â as one of my goals.
Man, if the position we're hiring for on my team could be remote I'd be recruiting you so hard! You'd fit in well.

Admin leave, so I'm working from home & calling in to 3 meeting to see if they happen.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
It's snowing like whoa here, but the ground's too warm for it to stick. So I walked from my parking lot to my office through big, fluffy flakes with a goofy grin on my face. I really do love snow.

The forecast last night was calling for 18" so schools are canceled, but it literally *just* started coming down here and it's barely even flurries. For this my kids are losing a day of spring break??? An early dismissal would have made so much more sense. But the trains are on a snow day schedule too, so we're all at home. I expect my kids will break some kind of screentime record.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Snow day here. Everyone has the day off. Whee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I understand the pressures to give parents time to plan, but our schools are closing early today, and now they are saying it won't even start snowing until 5 or 6 tonight, and maybe we're only getting 4 inches total.

The cancellation call came at 5am. So not even that!
My plan if they get really stir-crazy is to drop them off at the superintendent's house for the afternoon. I'm sure someone on the local mom's FB group knows where he lives.

Coding and Sleeping
I hate self-evaluations, I hate goals and goal-setting, I hate corporate reviews, I despise the whole goddam made-up arbitrary pointless process so much.
Yeah, I'm not a fan either. It's like, I want to contribute and make the product better and cooler, we're on the same page here. Isn't that enough?
