Lesson from last night: when you’re all punch drunk and exhausted, processes and procedures are your friends. That is the worst time to cut corners.

Smudge would like you to get over whatever your issue is. #cats

Just bailed after 4 hours on a conference call dealing with how we mitigate a problem from upstream while waiting for the upstream folks to fix it. Feel a little bad leaving my teammates working at it, but I’m tired and this isn’t my area of expertise. Maybe this way there will be a couple folks alert tomorrow.

Everyone in the company has to take training aimed at helping us be inclusive. I did mine today. Ho hum? Like it got me to think of some things I hadn't and that's good, but I think the folks who need it the most are the ones who are looking for excuses to dodge taking it.

Letter going out with everything clashing. But damn that wax seal came out well. I stamped the seal and then highlighted the pattern with a silver sharpie.

Ugh. First day after being on call and I’m super sleepy because my last night being on call I got paged several times. None the rest of the week, just bad timing.

Val and I just took Fox out for his first short ride in the kitty stroller. Almost to the end of the driveway. Then he got treats. Everyone seems happy with this.

Starting today off super slowly. Sleep in. Drink coffee and watch the birds and squirrels.

I’d love to do the same sort of thing with forecasts.

On Thursday, the forecast said today’s high would be ~76. Yesterday morning it was 75. By end of day yesterday they had dialed it back to 68. Now? High of 56.

I wish I could get historical forecast records like I can get actual temperature records, because it seems like they’re getting less accurate and I’d love to see if that is true or just my imperfect memory. I already pulled the temp records and confirmed it is several degrees warmer than when I grew up.
