7/11

glassdoor as a way for former employees to tell hard truths about workplaces      

i have my biannual review today, but i'm not worried about it and did not spend an excessive amount of time preparing for it                                                     

another day yesterday where i got to mostly focus on code and where i ended up with a deliverable that people were excited about

my work friend s, who is so good-hearted and always fun to talk to and leaves me feeling full of energy

that the next time i meet with s, i'll be living in pacific time and the time difference (he's in australia) for our meetings won't be so taxing

two more workdays until a week of vacation!!!!!! and the freedom to hopefully not think about work at all

amy mcgrath and any possibility for hope of getting rid of mitch mcconnell

this season of the handmaid's tale, which is weak but not as relentlessly grim as previous seasons and continues to provide a showcase for transcendent elisabeth moss face acting

the way that margaret lyons, who writes the excellent Watching newsletter for the new york times (https://www.nytimes.com/newsletters/watching), roasts the handmaid's tale, such as "[the handmaid's tale] is now 40 percent ironic music cues, 40 percent meant-to-be-shocking imagery and 20 percent vacant panting"

not caring enough that the formatting of the text changed when i just copied and pasted that (also, writing these notes and sending them from my ipad, since my computer is too contaminated with work)

sleeping until it was time to get up this morning

d's continued handling of almost all of the complicated logistics of moving

that soon enough there won't be as many of those logistics for her to have to continue to handle

i haven't skipped a day of running in several weeks

the jingle "thank heaven for seven eleven"
