Very pleased to update that I bought a 2015 Subaru Forester with a panoramic sunroof and six speed manual transmission. It's not a convertible, but I am having a lot of fun driving it.

Peak geek shit. I'm pretty proud of this so far. Laying out the manual and automated workflows of the business, future builds and features, reports to build, and more.

Marathon day at the office. Still going. Getting so much accomplished though. Rebuilding my post it process layout (not yet pictured because it's still in progress) and color coded it with the colors I had on hand. Even created a key so other people might be able to understand it.

I haven't flown in way too long. I'm not sure what position I want to do. The last one I remember doing was this 8 pt cannonball suspension, which transitioned to a 4 pt suicide, in San Antonio in 2014. It was a different world then.

100% I do not want to go to work today and I'm hiding in my bed about it

My car hit 300k miles on my way home from work today! It's a 2010 Scion xD that I bought four years ago with 201k miles on it. 32k of that has been in the last 12 months, according to my fb memories of a similar post on my way home from Philly last year. Good time to post my GFM! gofund.me/4855bb95

So I downloaded the app and went to see if they could work from a photo of the post-it wall - it got most of them! I'm gonna spend a little bit figuring out how to add the other ones in, but my process geek heart is so happy right now. Digital post-its mean I can work on it anywhere.

It was a three meeting day and I'm pulling a late night at the office. Went out to grab dinner and came back to keep working. This all looks lowkey insane, but I'm starting to map out the #jobtread workflows and features to work on, what part of the sales process they're linked to, and more.

This photo was on my way home from work, the odometer of my car hitting 299,000 miles... and it's time to start getting real about figuring out how I'm going to fund my next car. Combo of crowdfunding, personal loans and possibly a business loan and/or micro grant or whatever else I can find.

It's cold af and I have to smoke outside, so I'm wearing jeans and flannel, hat and fingerless mitts, sweatpants and a hoodie, and a fleece corgi onesie over everything. Wool socks and fleece lined slippers. I've never wanted a pair of UGGs before in my life, but I suddenly understand the appeal.

Jobtread Connect is keeping me on my toes. #jobtreadconnect #jobtread (I wonder if anyone else is on bluesky)

Turns out, I shouldn't have worried about my caffeine addiction, jobtread connect has me covered.

short version: ahhhhhhhhhhh
Slightly longer version: ready(?) for my first flight in over a decade. I am a seriously anxious human today, and grateful for an easy morning with my partner before this. Waiting for my boss to get here, going to fuck around on my laptop of awhile.

Today in "adulting, but just barely": after an hour in the office, I realized that my tee shirt was both inside out AND backwards. The worst part is that it felt kinda off, and I checked the *inside* of the front of my shirt to check if it was backwards. Oof.

In the same vein of "even house cleaners have this problem" - here's the state of my living room right now. It's pretty solidly fucked right now - sorting through client donations to direct them to best places, stuff that needs to go back under my bed, artwork that needs to be hung.

Went through my bathroom shelves and threw out a ton of expired stuff, dead hair dye, and re-sorted and consolidated things that had previously been sorted but got scattered. Even house cleaners have this problem!

Trying out a secondhand Breathe99 mask, trying to get a good seal on it. Wearing it around the house to test it out. Don't know if this is gonna be the one, I'm struggling with the nose piece.

It's a little chaotic, but I got flowers arranged for delivery tomorrow to my partner. They're not on bsky so I'm not worried about ruining the surprise. Orange and yellow roses, orange/coral spray roses, orange and yellow ranunculus, and baby's breath, in an orange vase that I thrifted today.
