Took the dogs for a long walk. Heard a thunk like something dropped. Checked my extremities. No, everything still attached. Kept walking.

Got home, couldn’t find a small thing I took with me. Remembered the thunk. Need to retrace my steps.

Took the dogs for a bonus walk, in which Bouncy Dog got to do his “I WILL DESTROY YOU DO YOU HEAR ME I WILL hey where you going” greeting for some dogs and many cars. Did not find the thing.

Got home. Self-check?

Small thing was in my shirt pocket.

Made a post on LinkedIn and realized it would be pretty good to share here. Lightly edited copypasta, linked for your enjoyment.

We’re about to make a very big move from the Pacific Northwest to Tuczon Arizona at the end of the month. That doesn’t affect remote availability, but it does put a hurdle in the Seattle commute for on-site and hybrid positions.

If you know anybody looking for a senior backend / automation dev either remote or in the Tucson area, please connect us!

Good lord but over on LI that second hashtag sure brings in the spam. Yay, lots of messages all of a sudden! Wait, looks kinda generic. And now there’s identical messages from different senders.

(unemployed sigh)

Well, it’s all part of the process.

Oh also also, if you want to add me on LinkedIn that’s great! But as a small favor could you let me know who you are here in your connection request?

I rarely care about anybody’s government names unless contractually obligated.

somehow getting a rejection that’s basically “we’ve decided not to hire anybody at all” is more and better feedback than most orgs provide

Chatting with my mom and sharing my rule zero for recognizing venomous critters: “If it looks mad, believe it.”

It occurs to me I’m moving to the other end of the state alphabet (WA fourth from the end, AZ third from the beginning)

Part of her very short sales pitch was “they say they have the best Mexican food in the US”

Me: (throws laptop in backpack) I’m packed let’s move

I have been doing other experiments working on transforming my Logseq graph, and my main suggestion there is that a JSON export is much easier to work with than the raw Logseq outline + Markdown notation.

Like “spam,” “slop” has that p-sound so you can really spit the word out when you’re mad.

So the beach bum motif includes a rope ladder to the upstairs deck and a collection of musical instruments he doesn’t know how to play proudly displayed on the wall.

There’s also a second cherry wood house in another area closer to towns. I decided it’s because he got really high and thought a pink house would be cool. Near some farmers so he could buy munchies.
