Coding and Sleeping

They told me the deployment process is automated. It is not automated.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Does that mean you are serving as the backup emergency reserve automaton?

Or would that be "automator"?

Something impressive-sounding for the résumé, anyway.

In other news, I just had my first COVID-19 sinus swab test. I had feared it would be painful, but it was not. It was mildly uncomfortable, and took only a long five-count. Left me with a sensation that reminded me of times when I had a cold and blew my nose too hard.

Not looking forward to the next one, but won't be nearly so anxious about it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Gudanov, has any mentioned lately that you are a wonder of coding and other stuff that is far beyond my comprehension that I don't even know what to call it?

Good luck on your results, dcp.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's hilarious to me that isolating behaviors I used to have to work consciously to counter are now self-care best practices that I can brag about in therapy!

Also, that multi-thousand comic book collection that takes up a wall in my loft has gone from excessive clutter to a handy stockpile of entertainment media AND an organizing home improvement project to while away the time.

It's especially lovely to see how it has brought back people who can only access it on their mobile during the day. Thanks, Gud.

That is a badass name.

Seconded.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Had my annual physical today. Everything seems within reasonable parameters(cholesterol on high end of normal, HDL low, blood pressure a little low). Plus I think I'm down a few pounds since last year. I suspected I had lost weight by the way my clothes were fitting, though I couldn't tell you how, since I've been eating like normal.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Side gig is working a pick-line for Zingerman’s Mail Order. It’s a local family of businesses and they pay their employees really well - even their holiday help. It goes until 12/22. It’s gonna pay for my movers because me and my friends are too damn old to haul shit in and out of trucks and apartments and houses.

But!! New place!! Hopefully final place!! Here’s the listing from five years ago.

Em will become a basement dweller and the second bedroom will be my office/classroom.
