@lori Better order a pizza for delivery before slipping into the "I am writing my own app / intricate spreadsheet for managing recipes and grocery inventory" phase

Fellas, is it self-care if I take a hot shower during the all-hands webinar? Except I've got an earbud in to listen just in case it's not an entirely information-free stream? Do these cancel each other out?

(also hot shower is not a euphemism. standing under a stream of hot water is nice)

@technomancy I have found lots of surprisingly cheap (~US$20) wireless earbuds on amazon that seem waterproof enough to listen to podcasts in the shower for years. It's maybe not entirely healthy to keep piping audio into my brain in the shower? But 🤷‍♂️

"no such thing as a free lunch if you don't have offices"

Sometimes I wish there were an activity of some sort, not entirely unlike smoking (but, like, not carcinogenic), which induced a physiological need to leave my desk and go outside on a regular basis throughout the day.

Like, some addiction clock that's stronger than hyperfocus or executive dysfunction to push me to get up and away for awhile.

I can ignore notifications and pings and such. What I really need is gland or something that makes me just viscerally jones for a breath of fresh air

@rayckeith Yeah, see it's the "drink enough..." part that's a non-starter, in terms of executive function. Like, I do keep a bottle of water on my desk that I fill every morning. Some days, it goes entirely untouched

@montag I like the energy here

@mDuo13 Yeah, indoor cats really just encourage me to curl up somewhere comfortable and not go out at all

To myself, I just said: "Fuck it in a bucket." I don't know what that means.

A thing I dislike: When iOS doesn't recognize my face, so I start typing my PIN, but then it does recognize my face, so my tapping the last 3 digits of my pin instead results in the launching of home screen apps

It really makes me miss my last Samsung phone, which I'd unlock either with my thumbprint or by drawing a glyph on the screen while pulling it out of my pocket. This face ID thing is for the birds

The word "macroeconomic" is sounding like a verbal tic for folks about to unload a tray of word salad

And the only meaning I can comprehend from "macroeconomic" is "everyone else is doing it"

"Due to the current macroeconomic conditions, the bus we're all on is taking a right turn to plunge off the cliff and into the ocean, just like the previous 7 vehicles before ours. I take full responsibility but also cannot tell you exactly why the steering wheel has turned."

Trying to hold two ideas in my head at the same time:

• I completed Jury Duty recently. Everyone was very attentive, careful, and conscientious. The judge sent personal letters to the jurors thanking us for our service. The experience gave me a rather positive regard for the court.

• I don't ever expect to see significant consequences befall Donald Trump for his actions in life

@socketwench I hope it was just a papercut?
