❓🎧Music recommendations for the day? I'm feeling Röyksopp, Tricky, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Zero 7--just not the same playlist as always. (I know, weird, I'm *seeking* change.)

This is what I'm listening to at the moment until the bluesky gives me better ideas: open.spotify.com/playlist/3xx...

It's 3:15am and I've decided it is time to get up and work on a GRC paper I've been mulling over. But also, I am being pestered by a wasp. In my living room. In November. BEFORE IM DONE WITH MY COFFEE. Rude.

A promise of a vote on healthcare

every woman should be awarded the nobel peace prize for the fact that she has not literally eviscerated the entire NYT editorial board.

Huh, I passed the SC-401. Well that was exciting to do before breakfast. Ima git me a cuppa joe now.

For some fun/dumb reason I scheduled a Microsoft Exam for Sunday morning at 9am. It is Sunday morning, it is 8am. This will be interesting.

This was kind of a joke when I first started (teasing a Finn about an office-approved sauna device) but has turned into an excellent combination of fidget and handwarmer. I am chuffed that I discovered such a fun thing. 55 degrees of warmth and fidget.

I’ve been in boardrooms for 3 decades and can absolutely promise you it’s not women who are ruining the workplace. Not our vices. Not our voices. Not our views. And not our feminism. @nytimes

Glassdoor is like Nextdoor in many ways. 5 minutes on there lets me know that most people have no idea how employment works. Same vibes on Nextdoor 😬

Love the placement. Surrounded by Nicotine and Razorblades: title of my next book when the heroine sips her bespoke brew and gets ready to fight evil 🥰

This is why we can't have nice things, nor adequate freespace.

⚠️ HEED THIS WARNING ⚠️

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Image of the father from the Beverly hillbillies, Jed, stating one of these days I'm going to have a long talk with that boy. The image is a black and white still from the long running TV show. If you have no idea who this man is you are simply too young. And I'm a bit jealous.

I have music playing in my head all of the time. This image changed the song. And not for the better.

Sigh, it's going to be a long day.

Did women ruin the workplace

Raise your hand if you feel this 😭

In 10 hours when all of the things are done, report back. 😆

I got some questions about how I use my chess timer, and a video is just easier, so here you go!

Also, it's been nice to see the overlap between my #ADHD crowd and my #databs crowd. I keep using the #ADHData hashtag to include both, and I hope others will use it, too!

I am in this picture and I d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶i̶t̶.̶ have complex feelings about it

I will never force myself to computer again. I computered too close to the sun (microsystems).

I have taken to heating stones on my coffee cup warmer. That way I can just hold stones and my hands are always nice and warm when I need them to be. Technology fixes many things.

Sooooo time to get to the computer and clog about data governance for a bit.

Best way to put it.
