Today's workload has consisted of 50% meetings and 50% meeting-related friction. What a fucking waste of time.

Stakeholder: "Why has X not been done? Why has Y been prioritised over X??"

Also Stakeholder: <does not attend prioritisation meeting>

Decided to document my nerd times for once https://words.ppl.town/tardisx/discrete-ir-codes-for-a-hisense-tv

I always enjoy reading this again every once in a while, but it's even better reading now - in the COVID-19 isolation times 🙂

OK I sort of get data vs props in #vuejs now. It caused me a lot of confusion for a long time. Every time I have one of these lightbulb moments I wonder if the documentation was bad, or I was just bad at reading it....

The science experiment continues

In what world does it make sense for my boss to call me at 8:30 and then send me a text to say he’s still on leave until tomorrow?

Getting ridiculous

Not really sure what to do with them now. It's too late in the year for them to grow successfully. I thought the birds would eat the seeds but apparently not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ummmm....

I harvested a bunch of sunflower seeds and left them out for the birds. They got a good soak and now it’s a tray of germination 🤗

The amount of friction I encounter every-single-week just getting paid is truly mind-boggling. I'm a bog-standard 38 hour, salaried employee, no overtime, no expenses, no holidays. Here I am, wasting a significant chunk of those 38 filling out a timesheet, in excel, every fucking fortnight.

Translation: our shit can’t cope with the DST transition and breaks horribly every time. To solve this we will just turn it off.

The other part of this complete breakfast

This is what was in the pulp fiction briefcase

Today I went to my actual workplace for the first time in about 6 weeks. I did not enjoy the experience. It's also pretty much the first time I've left the house in the last 3 weeks. It's strange out there.
