I am very much looking forward to going home tonight for all the obvious reasons, but one of the lesser reasons: get back to the small stubborn trees that my sinuses have decided are mostly harmless.
Austin all lovely and wooded. Ugh. The allergies hate that.

Whenever somebody butchers my last name and I provide a quick correction, they usually apologize.
At which point I shrug it off and tell them that technically I’m mispronouncing it too.

@benbrown it hasn’t been as bad as life in the Pacific Northwest but yeah I’ve had to make sure I was fully armed before leaving my hotel room.
With allergy meds. Armed with allergy meds.

@benbrown also, physical proximity Internet wave
I lack the social urge to have tried to hang out but I do wish I was more inclined towards such things!

In session at work thing — standing room only —thinking that I should request #ADHD med refill in the next day or two.
My phone: “please fill out the intake form for your appointment in one hour”
Ah
Problem solved.
Kinda.

The unfortunate wrinkle, because there usually is one, involves #ADHD meds, federal regulations, and state lines.

@nomad the worst likely case is pay for a missed appointment, confirm what I submitted on intake, and get my Rx in the next few days. This clinic is pretty cool.

@nomad also I didn’t need a L’Engle brain tangent during a tightly scheduled day :bloblul:

@nomad took me a minute to figure out why my brain kept throwing a psychedelic pegataur at me

Issue resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. (and no missed appointment fee to worry about)

Seen last night. My first.
About five seconds after I stopped rolling my eyes long enough to take a pic for future entertainment, some women came up pointing and laughing at it, taking a few pics as well. I heard “why? Why would you spend money on that?”
Guess Tesla’s just hoping for “no such thing as bad publicity.”

@masukomi pro: the “I” and “l” are easy to distinguish. Con: …for ants

@joop for some folks, but no. It’s the Finnish surname of my government-approved identity that trips them up.

@bitprophet sometimes you develop tools. Sometimes you develop for tools. But always a tool developer.
hackers.town: 2024-10-01 Tue 15:37
A promising start.

Not as lucky on the second leg, alas. Neighbors are polite at least!

Yeah that oven breeze. It does feel good to be home.

@IamMrsGeek I’M HOME I’M HOME I’M HOME I’M HOME
hackers.town: 2024-10-01 Tue 22:16
@m really it just means a warm breeze. It’s not like 100F out or anything.
