Do we know the evil genius who designed training videos to be so soul sucking
I've been particularly annoyed by the robot voice that I hear way too often in videos recently. There are plenty of people with really wonderful voice over talent. At least make the sound pleasant even if the content is crap.
I hate when my bad work is shared with the world. I mean, it wasn't awful, but I threw something together in a half-hour because someone needed it. The person who needed it thought it was fine. The Dean? Not so much. She has feedback! I know it's not my best work! Ugh. (I don't think she knows it was my work specifically, so I don't have to be embarrassed about that. But still.)
Was informed by my smart home system that the power returned about 15 minutes ago. Will return when the system says the house is reasonably warm again.
Good job, smart home system!
I have so much catch up work this morning and people keep scheduling meetings for me! I might need real caffeinated coffee.
Turns out my old boss's firm had most of their projects put on hold by the shutdown, so I probably can't get any part-time work from them.
Off to climb, and then meet an old friend in the city for lunch. The exciting life of a furloughed fed!
This morning's meeting was 7:30 to 10:45. That is both Too Early and Too Long.
Are any Buffistas in Los Angeles on strike right now? I know there are several teachers, but do they all work for private schools?
Consuela - I saw something about CA extending unemployment benefits to furloughed workers, maybe something to look into?
I have work to do and I am off tomorrow, but I just can't aeem to care enough to do anything. So I am updating goodreads and letterboxd.
