Yeah, found out my bonus today, too, and since I was promoted mid last year they pro-rated the bonus instead of the full amount that went with the new title. Which I get (grudgingly), but also had to work at a higher level for a 1.5 yrs to prove I could do the new role. So like why pro-rate my $.

Baby sloth

The National Gallery of Canada is amazing! And we got to see a baby sloth at the Natural History museum. @theotherbfg.bsky.social and I were there in 2019 so probably not a baby any longer.

Listen, even bad fresh pasta is still good!!! Biggest tips I can think of are to 1) let it rest, 2) don't be afraid of how much flour it takes to roll it out, and 3) if you think you rolled it thin enough, go thinner - fresh pasta really swells when cooked.

For me it's less, "how many will make me fall asleep," and more, "do I still want to be high for an hour after I get up the next morning"

Today's work mood is resisting the urge to buy a bag of Easter candy and call it lunch.

.. though a bag of Cadbury mini eggs is 16 grams of protein.

The amount of requests I get at work that boil down to "Just throw some AI at it! That will fix it!!" Are increasing and I feel more and more like the image below...

To quote the Rolling Stones,

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try, sometimes
Well, you might find
You get what you need

Me: can you send the file from the exact dataset where you're seeing an issue?

Them: sure! (Sends comparison file)

Me: ...

Me: no, not the comparison file the literal single data point I asked for the first time
