You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Vibe coding sounds like something an evil scientist would do. “Bwah ha ha! Quick! Let us code the vibe mechanism and bend the population’s intuitive state to our will!”

I had to go to the office yesterday to pick up a newer shredder and have my three month evaluation. My manager is pretty happy with me, so I feel a bit more comfortable updating LinkedIn and whatnot. The drive is 1.5 hours each way, and having to be social and on for dozens strangers for 8 hours was pretty draining. They all seem quite nice, but it’s a lot. On the upside, it was the monthly birthday celebration, so there was cake. On the downside, cake turned into networking? With people discussing golf? One of the auditors is a bit of a silver fox, though, and he sent me a teams message with a grammatical question later, so I guess I made a good impression.

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

Are you mostly remote, Calli? How often do you have to be in office? 1.5 hours is a long drive.

You may be onto something with the evil scientist thing....

I managed to pull myself together enough to do some math, which someone probably would prefer to just ask AI about somehow but I haven't been told to do that yet. I think that's it for me to today.
