in the past two days we’ve gotten 1.5 inches of rain, and that’s most of what has fallen in november. and nearly half of what fell in october. it’s been astonishingly dry here. glad the pattern is changing.

the biggest lesson i’ve learned from the latest project i was parachuted into (when it was already on fire), is to call b.s. on project scope and timelines. _Especially_ when the people who wrote the proposal completely ignored the estimates provided by devs.
in fact, run the other way, maybe.

one of my toughest adjustments to “checking in” on bluesky is the tooling. with (other networks and 3rd party apps that spoil me) i can open the app on mac/iphone/ipad and it scrolls to my last-viewed item in timeline. with the bluesky app i have to scroll and remember what i’ve already seen or not

spent another day yesterday hauling truckloads of leaves to the transfer station. we should be just about done with fall yard cleanup.
it’s been incredibly dry here in the northeast, and the leaves are “fluffy” and “crispy” which means they do not compress well.

so i’ve talked about it some on Masto, since i was last active on twitter, i’ve moved into Consulting at IBM. while i am able to build a lot more stuff now and use new technology (versus my previous role in Software, managing and extending an established product) i do miss deeply caring about things

@jayroh planning a career. seeing where you are, where that leads to, making crucial strategic decisions to get there. including, probably most important - saying no to things that don’t move you forward/upward.

recently discovered that in the Health app, my Apple devices are recording data and inferring things about my mobility fitness. i wish there was a “Dog Walk” workout option that would omit data for that particular activity.
walk. stop. walk. stop. get pulled sideways. walk. stop. bend over. walk. stop. spin around to untangle the leash. run a little. stumble. stop.
