The Nerd Group is almost done with Picard, I think I might have to go back to the start and watch Next Generation again. 📺🎬

As always was and ever will be, Siri is a flaming dumpster fire. 😭

As my position with my new employer is fully remote, I haven’t met the bulk of my co-workers in person. Truth be told, I’ve only met five other developers, along with one project owner…and to be completely honest, I knew three of them previously. 😆 Still, even with remote work, it’s good to get out of the house to be social with one’s coworker and that’s what I did today; we went for lunch at a local pub.

Of course, I say new but I’ve been with them since the end of June…but then, time is said to be in the eye of the beholder… 🤷🏼

Side note, if you look up in the upper left corner of the photo, you’ll see that my co-worker has Pokemon Go on his phone…the owner of said phone is rather obsessed with that game. 😄

Of course, as soon as the couch has been cleaned, this messy monster decided it was time to continue his campaign against cleanliness.

Switched on the carpet cleaner…and I don’t know that I’ve ever seen the cat move so fast. We don’t need to put him on a diet, we just need to clean more often! 🤣

Been playing Magic Scroll Tactics on my Switch lately; I wouldn’t say it’s a truly great game but it’s mindlessly entertaining. 😊🎮

Being rather lazy on a Saturday, snuggling with the puppy, watching The Nanny, and finagling with my new/old computer (a log story for another time)…and realized it’s been a rather long time since I posted anything here…

It’s been an interesting six months since my last last post:

• Turned in my notice to my new-ish position (the one I left my old position for, I lasted just ten months; there is a gigantic backstory there…
• Celebrated my Grandma’s 100th birthday (that women’s memory is truly impressive, she was regaling all of us with stories from her early childhood)
• Started a new position with a consulting firm (I’ve been there for a little over a month and it’s been a fantastic experience thus far)
• Went on vacation to Michigan
• My partner tested positive for Covid-19…and thus we spent a week and a half isolating at home, wearing masks as often as able
• Started with a new client and an a truly massive amount of computer issues (they ended up sending me a second computer, the Help Desk techs couldn’t even remote into the first one)

Of course, each of these could be their own post / entry / page…and perhaps they will be some day…

Side-note: The Nanny was one of my favorite television shows as a child. In fact…and I might be dating myself here…but I would watch Fran in the afternoon whenever I stayed home sick from school. 😁

It’s still is one of my favorite shows. 😆

If anyone is in the STL area, check out Sunny’s Cantina, the food is amazing and the prices are decent. The veggie burrito is beyond delicious. 🤤

If anyone is looking for a cute place to shop for knickknacks in Saugatuck, MI (just got back from vacation), you should stop by The Laffing Glass; spent a little too much money there but then, I love glass.

Wow @SimpliSafe, not only is is insanely hard to cancel service (seriously, why do I have to call you to cancel) but your exit survey is broken…?! 🤣

Someone was eyeing my dinner, hoping I’d look away… 🤣

So far, so good! 🤞🏻

So, my insurance sent me some Covid-19 Antigen tests…that expired in May of 2022…?! 🤔

Covid-19 has struck the household again…at least we’re ready for it this time… 🤣

Russell is annoyed with me, he can’t seem to understand I have to work right now instead of giving him head scratches. 🤣

With the fall of Roe v. Wade, I’m guessing a certian segment of the political population will be coming after LGBTQ+ community next. So dishearted and upset for women everywhere…and worried about what is coming in the future. 🏳️‍🌈

My last day with my former employer was today. This is the first time I’ve have a gap between positions since 2010. It feels…strange. 🤷🏼

Is it weird the enhancements to fitness and photos are the thing that excites me most about WWDC this year? Sharing photos with family has been a nightmare for years…and pill tracking just seems like a great idea, especially for those of us (not talking about me here) who are forgetful but also don’t like being reminded by other people… 😆

I love Trader Joe’s…the selection and quality are great, the stores are clean, and the staff are friendly.

Taxes done…nothing like waiting until the last minute/hour… 😮‍💨
