Wow! That's very cool.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Yay, meara!
IOworkNews, they decided I don't need monthly quality coaching meetings for the time being. My numbers have been at top of the range for ages, and the QA people keep saying "Oh, hi, it's our monthly chat opportunity, and keep up the good work." I guess the Powers decided not to waste the time anymore.
Also, I had the usual "Here's the state of you" meeting with my supervisor, who was pushing the "You could be solidly in the Exceeds Expectations category if you did X and Y." I baffled him by saying "But I don't want to be in the top 5%, I just want to come in and help our customers and do a good job."
I'm tired of supervisors treating "Meets Expectations" as some sort of fault.

The recruiter is submitting me for a part-time contract position that is offsite and pays very well, so the two round trips to their office are hopefully paying off.

Neil Gaiman read my PM and posted about my Patreon!
Now to hope and pray that that translates into a huge jump in backers, because I don't want to rework my resume and go back to the tech industry.
