This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Coding and Sleeping

I have an interview coming up Monday. I like where I'm working so I'm going in conflicted. They are IoT so I have specialized skills they could use and it could be more money. It's scheduled to be four hours long and it's a three hour drive to get there (where I'd actually be working would be closer than my current workplace though) so I'll be putting in ten hours to do it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Question! I hear that IoT as a phrase is "out." But I don't know what's replaced it! Is that true??

Anyway, good luck with discernment for both of those job opportunities.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That is not nearly as cute as internet of things.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

M2M?

Y'all, I am so bored. For once I don't have an actual on of work that needs doing, but since I'm on vacation starting Friday I'm sure as hell not starting any new projects. I think I have forgotten how to waste time at work.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Internet of Shit?

(in all seriousness, it's not directly my field, but I know enough people who are into it that I'd think I'd hear if the term was unfashionable, and I haven't...)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh. Cat declawing was just made illegal in NY.

So interesting! I guess I won't worry about what else to call it (yet), then.
