Oooooo I'm fucking psyched for this workout. At the end of the block. I'm tired, but adapted. Gyms been going great. My coffee was delicious. I have a good movie on. Can't wait to get fucking destroyed.

Test Eng: Hey, I ignored most of your instructions, did the test entirely differently, and got a different result? What's going on? Not sure if how to feel. I can tell them they skipped these lines in the procedure. I guess I'm supposed to shrug it off and say do it again.

HR manager wants to talk to "touch base and get [my] perspective". Since we're dwindling engineers, it's probably to make sure I'm not going to jump ship. But oh boy I have been thinking about it. I guess the question for myself is how vulnerable do I want to be.

New Squat PB, 215 lb x 2. Hard to believe I was amazed by 200 several weeks ago.

A reminder that you are loved πŸ’• β€” #transrightsarehumanrights #dragons #nonbinary #lgbtq+art

😌rabbits have big ears, okay,,

Proofed yeast - didn't look great, but made dough anyways. First rise - Amazing! Yeast is surprised, for better and for worse.

twitter just removed this design + locked my account for the next 12 hours

Sometimes I think package managers are overrated. And then I have times like this: "Oh, do I have julia installed on this machine?" *Doesn't exist. Want to install? y. Wait 15 seconds, done* And bam, there's the REPL. No website, no download link.

Wired to suck dick, forced to work

"Normal user": I am a normal user! I know how to do this! Reading the documentation of how they skipped 3 "normal" steps, bypassed 2 meaningful error messages. Me, "Yeah sure."

Logged in today to find that he "committed some code for a feature". Every single build is broken. He reverted build system changes I spent weeks on. I'm asking myself this morning if this is hopeless. Should I just give up on this guy? Giving up on this also means giving up on embedded...

Be the helpers Mr. Rogers said to look for.

Punch Nazis

Stuff that didn't make me mad today - Critical coworker leaving - Technician needing better instructions Stuff that made me 4/5 mad today - Helping my "director" compile code - Telling my "director" to use version control - debugging "improved" models from "director" which don't compile

Just heard that one coworker who wasn't getting laid off found a new job and they're leaving in 2 weeks. All stuff which wad given to him now have to be given to someone else, and that's AFTER the original guy left! What a clown show. I'm wishing him all the best tho - This place sucks right now.

I have already won the day and it wasn't even 7 am. Bike shifter broke as I was getting on the trainer. Last time I "broke" like this the cable needed to be replaced, but it wasn't broken. I thought maybe I can just get it stuck in a good gear... Turns out the end had just slipped off! Easy fix!

Looking down his nose at the simp gawking at him~ πŸ’ž

In grad school, I worked on how hydraulic dynamometer, which could be better for engine testing because hydraulic pumps have low inertia. 5 years ago, I worked on a project that failed because electric motor inertia was too high. Only in the shower, this morning, did I connect these two.

I fucking predicted a thing in Severance and I feel like a genius

Fun effect of decreasing your FTP - Easy rides actually feel easy! Could have done another hour or two at that pace.

Went and checked out an open house again! Something in our neighborhood, WAY out of our budget. But it felt really refreshing to see something that had everything we'd like and more - Those DO exist - even if it wasn't something we could realistically get now.

It's so awesome when the benefits of training are immediately seen. Tuesday: 1 hr VO2 workout. It sucked. My mood that day was awful. Today: 1.5 hours VO2 workout. Felt great, had more in the tank. Feeling fucking great!

They wound up coming around with the same fix I suggested, 4 days later, after wasting everyone's time, and throwing me under at least one bus. Good job ding dong!

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

Yesterday Me: I'm really mad, but it's not the worst thing that's happened. Today me, mentally going through the process of forgiving this coworker so I can move on, realizing that my life would be better with them removed from it. Just Now Me: Oh I was 5/5 angry...

Boss fucks around with checkout structure to the point that I just ask him to let me drive. After I _revert all the changes he made, and did not need to make_, he quips in with "I don't know how I was supposed to know that." My man you fucked around for no reason. How was THAT your first instinct?
