CoViD Levels:
Huh. We actually have up-to-date information. (As of Monday.) And CoViD levels (at least for the North System) are still at ... (drumroll, please)...about 300 Bobcat-Robots.

(Levels for the Boston SOUTH system are up, to around 600 Bobcat-Robots. Which is still way below last year's levels.)

Thunderstorm.

ETA:
Then the temperature plummeted back to levels that I would have described even in the 1990s as quite cold. We got snow flurries on the afternoon of Christmas, and an actually significant amount of snow on...must have been St. John's Eve? Anyway, it was so cold that Mallard Wassail got moved indoors.
And then on Monday 12/29 (St Thomas' Day), it bucketed rain.
And now it's cold again.

CoViD levels (as of 11 December): Up, but still pretty low: 200 Bobcat-Robots.

Guess who managed to lock himself out of his apartment this morning?
choco_frosh: (Default)
CoViD levels (as of 6 November): ...Yep, it really is under 100 Bobcat-Robots.

(Sorry I haven't been updating these. In my defense, (a) my routine got thrown out of whack, but more importantly (b) CoViD levels stayed REALLY LOW all summer. Now they're STILL really low, but it's cold season, so we're back in the game of "Is it CoViD, or just a cold, such as we would have laughed off before 2020?")

Completely unrelated to previous post:

I am researching bounces from my employer's email lists, and am therefore sorely tempted to ping one or two people's LinkedIn profiles and ask "Are you dead?"


ETA: On the same search: Look... This obituary is presumably just giving the names of children's spouses, but the way they phrased it KINDA makes it look like half this person's kids are trans., and being deadnamed for the benefit of people who haven't seen them in a while.
"XX is survived by their sons, Thomas, Sean (Maureen), Patrick, Brendan (Dana); and daughters, Siobhan (Stephen); Maureen, Mary (Matthew), Deirdre (Jason)...

Hoping my coworker can deal with the fact that I just asked him a question about his research via a Spiders Georg reference.

I probably shouldn't try to ask my boss if we're meeting this afternoon by texting him "M'saion?", should I?

Too much coffee.
choco_frosh: (Default)
I swear, one of these days I will get around to posting.
Probably not til I'm done with the Series Of Mad Weekends, though.

Just sent out a dozen emails to senior executives on behalf of one of my bosses.

Why am I not surprised that the only one who's replied so far was the one woman on the list?

I'm on my THIRD cup of coffee,
Still can't face the day...


ETA: Are there parody versions of "Awake, Alive, Alert, Enthusiastic"? Because there should be.

ETA2: And if I think today is bad, let's try tomorrow, when I have to get out to catch a bus at 6:55AM.

The good news--AND the bad news--is that this week has turned into All Job Interviews, Every Day.

Ugh, I apparently am not allowed to eat fried food after 8pm.

Especially since I am driving to Vermont tomorrow.

Except I apparently have a job interview first.

Today is--somehow--my tenth anniversary* as a changeringer.

* Well, with a couple of caveats. This excludes, obviously, trying to learn change ringing back when I was 14. And I'm using July 1 as a convenient approximation, in much the same way as [personal profile] sorcyress uses their birthday. I know had already been to a practice or two at Advent before I went to Old North the first time, which I think was on July 4; so the first time with a rope in my hands may have been July 1, or it may have been a Wednesday or two before then. The earliest reference I can find to ringing is a blog post from July 16 [Locked]--but I'd clearly been ringing for some time at that point.
...I should probably check the Log Guest book at CotA, huh.

Oh wow, Menewood and The Tomb of Dragons came out!

Back from family reunion. Back to job applications.
choco_frosh: (Default)
In a reminder of just how bloody long the job process can take, a job I applied for 4.5 weeks ago JUST got back to me to schedule an interview.

Of course now that they've launched a new version of the Massachusetts unemployment site, the new version is MORE of a pain in the ass.
