After I finished work on Friday afternoon, I took a quick drive over to my favored local park to get a little outside time. As my ankle’s still healing up, I wasn’t planning anything particularly strenuous, just a little amble along the marsh and a sit on the bench overlooking the river junction for a […]

In the end, this week hasn’t necessarily been as bad as it’s posts suggest. Progress has been made. It’s looking like that work headache is finally clearing, and the (totally not mine) delays have been noticed by levels of power that might be able to effect change (but I’m not holding my breath). Also, earlier […]

…other than the fact that I feel like these guys are always right around the corner lately. Things are going to get better. Kind of have to.

I know it’s cliche by this point, but 2020 has been, and continues to be the best practical case for evidence of time dilation in terms of relative perception in recent memory. Psychologists and physicists will be writing papers on this for decades. Remember Four Season Total Landscaping? That was only three weeks ago. In […]

In plowing through the initial pile of work emails this morning, amongst the wheat (useful test results and signed documents – 20%) and chaff (random garbage, pointless cc:’s, etc – 80%) was a copy of a job announcement to fill the recently-vacated Deputy CxO in my organization. This isn’t particularly abnormal; when something like this […]

Indeed, a week. As briefly teased in earlier dispatches, I’ve spent a large part of the week dealing with petty bureaucrats and their petty power-trips. It has, for the large part, sucked, though after working with some dare-i-say “allies” within the organization, I unleashed a little bit of bureaucratic jujitsu of my own, and have […]

…which is shameful. If you won’t listen to science or the case for public welfare, maybe you’ll listen to Baby Yoda: Although, in the end, while it may be Dolly who saves us, it’s going to be a while. And as winter comes, holidays happen, and people get even more lax about taking precautions than […]

I’m not particularly superstitious, but maybe don’t go camping on Friday the 13th. My mind-clearing getaway trip didn’t quite offer the solace I hoped it would, due to numerous complications. Not saying it was all bad, but all told, very few things went according to plan or as I’d have liked. The first piece, of […]

It’s going to be a little quiet around these parts for a few days. As I’d mentioned a couple of weeks back, I’m going on a bit of an adventure. I’m going just a little bit mad under the current conditions, and really need a change of scenery, and I’ve found a way to do […]

Like I said yesterday, we’re going to be waiting a little bit for this one, but from where I’m sitting, things looks to be breaking our way. All it’s going to take is time. It’s the same way we get through any week, really, and this week’s been a long one for other reasons as […]
