local friends: new hampshire’s “vaccine van” is a single person. i just left a line with about 30 people ahead of me and easily 50 behind me. in 45 minutes, 4 people got shots.
Another year and holiday that I couldn't travel and see my family again. Disappointed that so many people take it as an affront to their freedom (pride) to protect others through modest sacrifices.
I value my freedom highly. but i do not value my freedom more than your freedom.
i’m so tired. i managed to slip back into “work like heck all weekend on house projects because there’s work on monday” even though there’s technically not work on monday
i finally got everything onto my desk (PC was on a cabinet before) and all cords tucked up! laptop shelf is awaiting future employer’s macbook pro (probably)
spent today doing a lot of work around the house, now i’m trying to finish up all the household tech debt projects i was “able” to do while i had”free time”
i’m rounding out my skills by doing a complete react dev course but it’s from 2017 and i’m learning a lot about what’s changed in webpack since then and M1 macs didn’t exist then and i feel like the best option maybe is to kobayashi maru
Overall stats from not commuting, from my last day in the office to my last day working remotely for IBM:
* 73 weeks, assuming 71 weeks working * 3 days/wk commuting, 110 mi r/t * 23,430 mi @ 34mpg average * 680 gallons of gas * almost $2,400 in fuel costs * approx. 550 hours
it’s been interesting to talk to companies who interview me as a leader and who talk about growth and finding people who will foster talent & support the team & build a culture …
and then get a rejection email from a no-reply@ email address telling me i’m not technical enough.
it might be sacrilegious to use these lovely Mustang wheels i had in my shed for snow tires, but the Flex needs more traction and sidewall for the winter than the stock 20’s provide
