@circa1977 this is only possible obviously with a system like my current with separate sensors. if i get an all-in-one it will probably go on the pole. i’ll keep you posted :)

i can’t wait for the “thought leaders” to crap all over people who make New Years Resolutions. sure it’s arbitrary, but maybe it’s our best chance at success.

first tweet of 2018 and i’m already boring.

@mikesusz
i understand that being middle-aged and successful yet now needing to figure out how to stay relevant and provide value, is a preferable scenario. i do not expect sympathy.
mike susz
@mikesusz
for someone in my situation this is possibly the worst case scenario; long experienced but not fully versed in latest tools/techniques/frameworks. where can i provide the most value?
mike susz
@mikesusz
whatever leadership i’ve been allocated is not reinforced or supported; it does not come with confidence or agency. i am someone to yell at when things go bad.

@mikesusz
the most striking thing is how work issues affect me personally. my ability to be productive and useful is enormous to my self-image. my current job, as it’s (not) structured, does not help. at all.

my hope for 2018 is to get a better grasp on how depression affects my life, to minimize its limiting affects on my happiness and my ability to improve this world.

@mikesusz
my depression and anxiety has found new ways to manifest itself, in the face of all the progress i’ve made to realize and understand it.

@mikesusz
personally, i both made great strides, and suffered unexpected setbacks. mentally i’m in a better place than i was a couple years ago, but i’m now aware of how far i have yet to go.

Christmas projects - new K’nex toy with a bad motor. putting 3v directly to the motor and it will spin. now investigating solder joints.

like i wish my job could be like what they espouse it might be, but the reality is so far from that it’s almost insulting to (the people in my situation who are actually doing it)

there’s this interesting double-disconnect with how my company wants to be perceived, how it actually is, and then how my part of it REALLY is.

1. join online meeting
2. put yourself ON MUTE
3. if you need to talk, unmute yourself, talk.
4. put yourself BACK ON MUTE
