Woke up an hour late for me, at least three hours early for reasonable people on vacation.

Tried too hard to sit still and quiet. Failed. Got leg cramp anyways.

Fingers remain crossed for the non-profit data / process job. Won’t hear about it until tomorrow at best.

But I’d love to have that career focus shift. Frankly, the bulk of listed developer positions just look boring.

Not in the cool “boring tech” way but in the “all we care about is making some VC happy” way.

Talking with @IamMrsGeek about Indecent Proposal (1993) and its core dilemma

She: “What if somebody came up and made a proposal like that? What would we–”

Me: “I’m sure you’d still respect me.”

Well I mean a million ain’t nothing, but if they’re willing to open with that I’m sure she can barter a better price for me.

Random question: what packages do #SublimeText users favor for their work and puttering? I already enjoy NeoVintageous and Org Extended, but still don’t know much about what else is out there and still useful in #SublimeText4 setups.

Boosts encouraged, since I don’t even know how many Sublime Text users are out there.

She: “She looks really depressed!”

Me: “I think she’s just Russian.”

Ordered a salad. You know, trying to eat light after some vacation excess.

Two minutes later:

Table collapses under weight of Cobb salad.

I’ve gone stimulus overload fetal a couple times during the Vegas trip (at the hotel at night during recovery not yet out during the day), and she just now engaged in some great questions about what my boundaries and needs are in those situations.

Sharing because it’s yet another example why @IamMrsGeek is the best partner ever, and because it’s a really good conversation for other neurospicy folks to have with the people who care about them.

Now we get to see dead neon!

Finally set up my Signal username. Will put on my site later.

Piles of rusty history, maintained with love.

We got to meet @thegibson and he is even more like Max Headroom than I expected.

Explaining an analogy and realizing not for the first time that my brain operates almost entirely in tangents.

Having fun watching Lift (2024), losing count of the number of times they say “NFT,” and wondering if the writers have any regrets.
