Somehow I made this connection. Thankfully I only had to run from 105 to 110.
They had already closed the doors. Nice lady went running down the gate as soon as they saw me coming.
The travel gods have NOT blessed me this trip. It's been chaotic from the moment they asked me to come over to Canada

Meetings done, so managed to play tourist some.
It's been an exciting last minute trip! Hopeful about what will come from it.

Yesterday I learned that it takes 1 hour to replace a bleed valve on an aircraft and 30 minutes to get it from the depot at Schiphol. Unfortunately I learned that lesson while stuck on the aircraft for 3 hours before departing 🤣
I'm sure it'll go better from here though 💪

I'd like to thank Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa for helping me find the bluetooth earbud I lost in bed this morning. I don't think I would've ever found it without blasting Jump at max volume.

I really appreciate @piratesoftware.live's commitment to the "stop killing games" initiative.
I signed it the other day and seeing it pass 1 million votes inspires hope.
I think we all needed something positive in bleak times. Thanks for taking one for the team.

Have been having trouble with gym shoes, so I thought I'd try something new. Acquaintance recommended vivobarefoot shoes.
Walking is a really nice sensation. But they've absolutely destroyed my feet after 2 workouts. Clearly I'm not built for them. Blisters and chaving.
Tldr: I'm returning them.

Today is apparently a "carelessly lean into the sink while shaving wearing light colored pants" kind of day.

Search engine optimization is getting annoying.
I search for "cat7 cable". Simple. What I get is results just listing random network terminologies. Like this one: "RJ45 10Gigabit LAN Switch Modem Router Patchpanel Highspeed DSL CAT7 CAT6 CAT5 copper - black".
Ok, so a standard black CAT7 cable 😑

So Q1 evaluation
I'm doing well at the gym, only missed 3 days so far. Made up for 2 of them. 8/10
Started Korean classes. Having fun, accepting I can't "just get everything". 7/10
Work has been taxing. Have to keep setting boundaries and protecting my team & myself from unreasonable people. 5/10

The movement shooter video is nearing completion 😩👍
Just finished recording and editing the voiceover, now just need to add transitions and video clips and we'll be done.
Have some travel coming up but my goal is to get it out before the end of February. Excited.

First episode of "Study Group" dropped today and I'm hooked.
I put it on on a whim and I have no idea how I got this invested so quickly 😂 It's genuinely a blast, I really hope they can keep it up.

Signed up for Korean classes starting mid Feb. I think it's very doable with self study, but I think I'll enjoy the structure more.
Just hope it's serious enough. I do actually want to learn.

"When the phone rings" was the only thing standing between me and finally cancelling Netflix a few weeks back.
If they don't resolve things well in tomorrow's finale, I'm terminating on the spot 😂

Wicked was pretty good. You obviously don't watch a movie like this for the shocking plot twists, but that makes it really easy to watch.
Would've preferred English subtitles instead, some of the singing can be a bit hard to catch even for me. Dutch subtitles confused me more than anything.

Don't worry about the fictional units, but I'm one set of workouts away from making it to a full month of 3 days on/1 rest.
I wanted to commit to something during my time off and decided to challenge myself. Finish line is in sight now.
Genuinely proud of myself without caveats for once.

Am I really in the minority when I say I kind of like the Trending topics?
I might easily miss things otherwise.
On the other hand there's a few topics in my discover feed I actually have limited energy for.
I'd mention which, but I'm worried the algorithm will interpret that as interest 😅

I tried starting a show on Netflix today and noticed the quality was awful. This has probably gone on for ages, but I decided to look into it. Turns out the mobile app was locked into SD.
Had to reset App data to fix
Netflix has been very disappointing. I get much better value on YouTube and Viki.

I've been enjoying my time off relaxing, and I thought I'd try a type of show I don't normally watch.
I haven't finished Perfect Marriage Revenge, but Jung Yoo-min can be mad at me any day.

I have 3 more weeks off, so I'm looking for a project. Something to learn and play around with.
It's objectively ridiculous, but work pressure has gotten to a point where if I "just relax" I start to worry I'm wasting my free time.
I can deal with it, but I need a project to have fun with instead

The kdrama Brewing Love finished this week. It felt odd, in a good way.
Don't get me wrong, it still had all the overblown melodramatic emotions. But kdramas usually milk confusion and misunderstandings.
Instead the characters actually resolved their issues reasonably and maturely.
Cozy to watch.

Affinity Photo 2 was the Black Friday deal I was looking out for.
50% off means it's cheaper than 2 months of Photoshop. And it's a one-time payment, no subscription.
If you aren't locked in to the AI+cloud Adobe tools, you'd be almost crazy not to switch imho
