Took my son shoe shopping and found one their benches using my shin. Can't say I recommend using this technique.

Had to stay calm and walk it off while feeling like Phoebe inside 😅😭

TypeRacer - the global typing competition Race against live opponents typing quotes from books, movies, and songs.

Elder Millennial checking in :P

Yes, but the path I chose was probably overboard. I bought a keyboard that had no lettering on the key caps and spent crazy amount of time on play.typeracer.com intentionally typing slowly to improve accuracy before trying to speed up.

Email subject from Pluralsight that reads: "Notice of termination of your A Cloud Guru lifetime course access"

I can only see the funny side in a company removing my "life-time" access to a course as I'm about to hit 40... Do they know something I don't?! 🤣

Happy 2025 to everyone! This is my favorite Dad Joke day. I greeted with kids with "I haven't had a hug since last year" only to be met by an eye roll from my teenager 😂

A company isn't a family.

Parents don't fire their kids for low performance or furlough them in hard times.

A better vision for a workplace is a community—a place where people bond around shared values, feel valued as human beings, and have a voice in decisions that affect them.

Good morning, Blue Sky Friends! 🙋🏻‍♂️☕️🫖Happy Wellness Wednesday! I hope your day is off to a pleasant start. Do your best to find time for an activity that brings you happy moments and fulfillment. Our self-care is crucial to our wellbeing. Take care and shine kindness, my friends.🌞🫶🏻

2 more weeks before taking some leave. Want to keep that ENERGY up for the final push! Lots of music, sunshine and water.

Some days I need the reminder, some days the reminder hits me out of nowhere 🥹

"And I know it feels so hopeless
And I know how close you are to the edge right now
So I wrote this song to say, things won't always be this way, no
It's just a bad day, not a bad life"

Sir Cosmo often wakes us up for cuddles and then a few minutes later falls asleep again. Not a single care in the world.

Today is one of those days where it doesn't feel like my #ADHD meds are doing anything at all.

On the flip-side, it _really_ makes me appreciate the days where they do help.

Where do bad rainbows go?

To prism. It's a light sentence, but it gives them time to reflect.

Okay I'm officially having more fun on bluesky than I am on x now, and as such, have created accounts for my projects here, which you can follow if you're interested! 🙏

Currently I'm thankful for a blue, mostly cloudless, sky here in Waikanae, feels like summer is on it's way!

If positivity isn't legal then I'll happy do the illegal thing and spread it anyway ;)

Awesome photos!

Ahhhhhhh, look how adorable they are!

After stepping away from social media for a few years now, I'm pretty surprised by just how "us vs them" my timelines seem to be.

BlueSky is still pretty empty for me, I want to connect with new people and inject some positivity! Anyone from #Wellington / #NewZealand you'd recommend I connect with?

Watched "The Abyss" for the first time tonight.

It's aged very very well. So well, in fact, that it feels scarily accurate with everything going on in the world.

This week I'll be starting my journey into the world of #BJJ. A few months before I turn 40 is probably a late start but if not now, when? 😂

Realized I could pair my airpods to the Nvidia shield! Now I can watch movies at night without worrying the rest of the family 😍 Also, the Alien movie sounds excellent!

After using two different size ipad pros over the years, I've switched over to just using Obsidian. Turns out I didn't enjoy writing as much as I wanted to.

I haven't used a remarkable at all.

I can absolutely say that both the 11 and 12.9 inch ipads are awesome once you get used to them.

Sunny afternoon overlooking Wellington harbour.

Relaxing in the shade to take a break from everything. Listening to an audio book and enjoying the view. Placing more value on self care has been my lesson of the year.

Good luck! I've really enjoyed the F1 Manager games. Sorry to hear about your redundancy
