I’ve realized I actually enjoy working. What really frustrates me is that the big decisions about my day are made by people who have never even been on my shop floor. On top of that, the things I help make don’t even go to my own community, which just makes it feel even more disconnected.
Honestly, I’d get a lot more satisfaction from my job if we could run things democratically and see our work benefit the people around us. There’s a real sense of pride in building something for your …

@… Oh, I totally get this. We had the same problem at my last job. Until we get a new GHC with a server-client architecture, I’m not holding my breath on a fix. (I hope to replace Cabal one day, but I’m not going to go and make a Haskell compiler. MicroHs is cool though.)
Maybe I met your coworkers! I didn’t go to any workshops because I’m lazy, I ju…

Just did a once over on my Vimeo as a portfolio for a lead producer job application.
Mainly, just updated some descriptions. Nice to be reminded of some past work I like: #film

It’s new job time! Yesterday was my first day with https://www.tmforum.org/ where I’ll be helping publish Open API standards (described by OpenAPI, I know it’s confusing!) that can be adopted across industries.
First impressions: Enterprise software tools are a very different world!

It is a week until the grand Kim Jong Un, oops I mean FFOTUS imperial parade.
(How could I conflate Kim Jong Un's parade with the FFOTUS one? - North Korea does a much better job of putting on mass tributes.)
Anyway, I do hope that DC Metro workers and Uber/Lyft drivers take a sick day off as many of the parade goers will be anti-vaxers with active, infectious Covid or Measles.
Don't forget that on the 14th you should arrive mid-day to your local Metro stop, park in…

masks at protests / demographics 2/n
I wonder about the influence of employment, as well. If you're at risk every work day, I could well imagine it seeming pointless to start being careful the rest of the time, and maybe just too cognitively dissonant to consider.
I remember in 2020, someone I knew was working at Waterstones, and they were forbidden to mask up at work - even though 2020 was before the whole "covid is over" thing.
I also remember reading about someone - maybe a nurse? that _kind_ of job, anyway - who'd started wearing a fitted mask while the default in their workplace was baggy blues, and iirc was formally rebuked. It wasn't allowed.
If for whatever reason you're unable to hold down a typical job, you might not have much cash for _getting_ things like masks, but you're also not under that same kind of economic pressure to put yourself at risk.

Tomorrow's my first day at the new job and looks like all my bosses identify as women, which I guess would be good when you have femdom fantasies but it's absolutely great when you have equality ones.

Some pre-work gardening this morning, lifting rocks and digging trenches to neaten up this border.
And now, off to my day job, where I'm going to lift virtual rocks and dig metaphorical trenches. Fun fun.

I'm now getting several political spam texts a day. This is a recent escalation and I've done my best to keep my cell phone number a secret for several years now. Politicians are ruining text messaging, just like they ruined phone lines.
So far my Google Pixel is doing a pretty good job blocking most of them as spam. But that's going to be a losing battle.

Good code release at work and zero issues! People don't see all the work done in the background weeks before.
Multiple walkthroughs with some of the clients, testers, developers, and the support team. The full set of instructions, modules, db changes, job changes, and schedule changes are reviewed. The day of the release, the support team and release coordinator (me) walk through every job that implements the release, special jobs, backups, and checkpoints.
When done, we d…

Day 10
Well, technically it’s been a few days.
I just finished populating the entire partner-contracts layer in our system. That means hundreds of users, each linked to the correct unit, with the proper supervisor, job title, and contract type. All of it reflected in a single, consistent data model.
Every user has a contract pointing to their supervisor — with cascading relations:
- regional managers report directly to the admin,
- unit managers report to regional …
