The past several weekends have been busier than usual for us in terms of productivity. Yesterday was a travel day, but today has been another productive one.

Had a nice enough day yesterday and was able to wash my car.
Just a reminder that Dawn dish soap is EXCELLENT at cleaning windows.
I've tried so many different window-specific cleaners and NOTHING gets rid of the haze on the inside of a windshield quicker or better than Dawn.

Window washing pro-tip: Dawn dish soap and water.
I had some terrible haze on the interior of my car's windshield that would NOT come off with regular window cleaning sprays.
A bit of Dawn dish soap in warm soapy water, and my windshield is crystal clear!

UPDATE
I bought a large canophera stick for my dog. She likes it reasonably well, but it makes a mess so definitely an outside toy.
I also bought a large BetterBone. She really likes it, and while it does produce flakes, it doesn't form sharp edges like the Nylabone. That's a win.

Has anyone tried the coffee tree dog chews? My dog has a nylabone that she prefers, but would prefer to offer her something natural so long as it didn't make a huge mess.

Nothing like a developer asking questions on a sunday afternoon about a process that has been in place for the better part of the year.

Saturday was sunny and 72°.
Yesterday was mostly sunny and mid-50s to low-60s.
Today feels like 22°.
Yo weather, what the hell?
Anyway, yesterday was good for productivity. Gave my monkey grass its annual haircut, trimmed some bushes and trees, and pressure washed the walkway.

As the proverb goes -
"You can lead a developer to documentation, but you can't make them read it."
So anyway you'll never guess what happened today.

If I've learned anything in my 16 years of being in the dev space, it's that almost nobody will actually read ANY amount of documentation you prepare for them, especially in a corporate environment.
Most people want to be spoon fed the answer, which is the biggest drain on budget and resources.

I regret to inform you (me) that your (my) dishwasher service is scheduled for November 17th.
Very cool that the very expensive dishwasher that we purchased 3 months ago already has an issue that is going to require a technician to come out.

InfoSec: How does this process run?
Me: From the enterprise scheduler, which runs a script on this server, which runs this git command to fetch the repo
IS: Do you have a diagram?
This is not a joke.

I just love stumbling upon a column in a table that seems to serve no meaningful purpose, and nobody else knows why it's there either.

There's nothing more discouraging than going through a layoff situation where good people lost their jobs, and having to deal with pure incompetence on a daily basis when working with other parts of the organization.
Some of the wrong people got sacked and it really pisses me off.

Spooky story time.
Have you ever had someone absolutely lose their shit because you rented the movie "The Exorcist" and were watching it in their house?
Their exact words were "demons congregate around that movie!", followed by demands to get it out of their house immediately.

Can we stop adding "reacts" to every single mode of communication? I'm looking at you, Outlook.
I don't care if someone "likes" my email response, and I sure as shit don't need a daily digest of all the "reacts" that my emails have received, ffs.
(and yes, I unsubscribed from that shit promptly)
