I can't remember who told me to read Blue Highways, but thank you. a travel story where the author is cheap and actually engages with strangers he meets and learns their life stories punches all the right buttons.

picked up a flashlight recommended by a friend, of course I got the dog and kitty version

a very Strange and Dramatic creature

"the price you ask is actually reasonable for your skills and experience, we'd gladly pay it, but other executives are concerned the IT department would lose its momentum if you left" wtf???

this shit has hands, everything hurts like a mf and I can't think. still worth it tho

mmmmm post-con sickness. I forgot what this was like. luckily I've got enough PTO to just take the day off

lately I miss having a truck. I should get another, just maybe not a one ton diesel again, I'm still in shock from the shop bill from the last one

I adore this pothos so much, it's such a shame it grows the slowest out of all the plants in my office. 😭

knock knock knockin on piston four

damn, I forgot how good latex looks

I forgot how much fun these were, even to just people-watch. spent some good time with friends and in my hotel now winding down. maybe I should go to cons more often

it's been soooooo long since I've been at a convention. still not certain what to make of it, some friends are here but not a lot.

decided to go to the interview to hear them out and hit them with a really high figure they won't want to pay. figure they'll either surprise me and I'll get a massive pay bump or I get to stay in the career I like

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

grey season has arrived in the midwest

just got the call from a higher-up and they're asking if I'm interested in taking over my old boss's position. it's a big pay bump but not IT, I'd be plant supervisor. they don't even mind that my bf would be working for me fuck, I don't want to abandon my career again

I'm mildly excited for MFF, I ain't been to a con in YEARS. but also not excited about contending with Chicago traffic tbh

buying shoes fucking SUCKS. it's just picking which wretched one has the least amount of bad design choices

week ummm 6... probably... of clearing out a friends house who's parent is a hoarder. I'm losing my ability to be nice, she insists EVERYTHING is worth keeping. nice gal, just ughhhhhhh I've never been more motivated to go home and clean out my garage.

wasn't planning on snowblowing the drive tonight but the adhd was like "you've never serviced that thing and it's been years since it last ran, wonder how hard it'll be to start tomorrow" cranked for half a second and took right off on half choke. wish I got out of bed that easy LMAO

I should actually plan where I'm staying in Chicago for next weekend lol

I think I may have missed some steps

plant additions will continue until morale improves

should I hardwire this turd or give it a nema 6-20 outlet and casters so I can move it around if needed?

need-a-penny, take-a-penny

a supercharged Valkyrie would fix me

Mavica noises give the brain serotonin

seen a video of a doctor talking about how it's hard for ADHD ppl to keep up with friends and relationships bc it's real easy to get distracted with life and shit you got to do then you realize you haven't talked to some of ur friends in 6 months even tho u love and care about them

of course redneck friend who wanted to have a 1950s kegerator would also have a pet possum was glad he kept it a secret so I could surprise Shep with it (his other sona is a possum)

I got to pet a SQUEEBLE

do you have a breeding pair of 1980s Garfields on YOUR dash? I didn't think so @qazsxdr.bsky.social has the dumbest shit

"hey, we noticed you're quite proficient with computers and are told by upper management that you solve all the computer problems in your area and have your own homelab, would you like to join the IT dept?" no certs, no degree, just word-of-mouth recommendation.

driving 400mi today to deliver this to said friend and get Possum Trot supper club c:

scrolling a gc I enjoy and tap on a sticker, hoping it's a funny pack I can use and NOPE, black sun and other hateful imagery/symbols. that ruined my mood and made me uncomfortable pretty damn fast. :(

as of late, rural indexing project has been such a huge inspiration to my pics and frankly just how I see the small towns I live in and travel to. there's a haunting beauty to it.

@motorcycleyeen.bsky.social We may have a problem x3

Going through some older photos as the last of summer's leaves finish falling #infrared #photography #panorama

having intense and repeated sense of deja vu all day today despite being in an unfamiliar area and doing something I haven't quite done before. it's incredibly unsettling

not a terrible use for a free second fridge, keeps everything from collecting dust and dog hair since we don't drink all that much

only damn place for several hours in any direction that I can get tongue tacos, the midwest is cruel 😔

I have nothing to eat :(

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

my name isn't actually inspired by the watercraft, fun fact
