I wish we could cultivate a culture where people get excited about and share the new skills they've learned more than the new stuff they've bought.

Somehow in my brain-fogged mind it did not occur to me yesterday with visible aura, sinus issues, nausea, stiff neck, moodiness, throbbing headache, and light sensitivity... that I may have been having a migraine. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« I'm usually better at picking up my predrome symptoms.

He died as he lived, clicking β€œForgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again:

Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call.

Your cat is perfect.

I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat.

Thank you.

I'm running on less than 4 hours of sleep so please ignore the fact I am going to be hugging the work coffee machine all day.

I live so close to the office I can see into my living room from my desk. Sadly I can also see a little furry monster staring out and wondering where I am. 😿

Today's morning walk was pretty simple commute to the office. I love the cooler mornings, especially when the water's still. It's a shame the sun isn't coming up till 8am.

Having a day. On top of my auditory processing disorder, I've got an ear infection so I'm partially deaf in one ear.

I may just have to hide in a hole and tell people to just message me this week. πŸ˜…

I realised I've not said hello yet! πŸ‘‹πŸ»

Let me tell you a little about who I am. I'm a CTO based in #Dundee, #Scotland. In my spare time I often talk about #cats, #boardgames, #videogames, and #php.
