Today's hike was very picturesque!

Sigh. Being stressed from work is making me have loads of nightmares, which results in poor sleep, which makes me even more tired at work...

Doing tests with test pilots in a sim, and the pilots keep leaning left and right, because they usually do that in the real plane to slightly shift the CG to fix unwanted rolling motion. Unfortunately it doesn't work in the sim xD

That was a lot of nightmares for one night Dx

Coworker: "I've updated and pushed the model." It doesn't even compile. How do people push things without testing them at all?

I'm glad I finished this book now and not tomorrow on my way to work, because it would have been awkward to cry while on the train 😭

Heck, leave your plane parked in the wrong spot for 5 minutes and you'll get towed! Flying without an engine sure is different to what I'm used to!

*spends most of the day reading a book on his phone* Someone: "You used to read a lot. What do you do on your phone all day?" "Uuuh you know reading news and browsing social media and what not." Don't want to explain that everything I've been reading lately is furry stuff >.>

Boarded a train where the app said there were still seats available. App lied, train was crammed. Thank god for last minute reservations, got to kick someone else from their seat 😅

I fucking hate being shy. *walks away from the hairdresser without daring to complain about the terrible job they made*

Sitting in the office, staring at my screen for such a long time that the lights turn off because there's a motion sensor and I haven't moved in too long. Mondays.

Quite often technical discussions between my boss and me mean I have to convince him that I'm right about a problem before he helps with a solution. My coworkers made a sign saying "Listen to [my name]" that they hold up when the discussion takes too long 😅

Reading the AFM of an aircraft equipped with an ejection seat. It describes different ejection scenarios. One is labelled "Best chance of survival!", another one is "Poor chance of survival..." I love how the punctuation shows excitement and resignation in a technical manual 😅

First hike of the year!

Ugh. I could have sworn I had dreams which felt like they were half an hour long. But then I wake up, check my phone and only five minutes have passed.

Almost got run over by a deer that jumped across the forest path I was walking. Never got this close to one, could have pet it if I had reached out with my arm xD

Looks like Eddy got a bit distracted on our walk through the forest... I wonder what he's looking for! Thanks @edesk.bsky.social for this wonderful piece!

Almost feels like spring, if it was a bit warmer

Two women on the train talking in what sounds like very American English, but every now and then both of them switch to perfect Swiss German. Odd xD

Client: "This project is super important and needs to be finished yesterday!" Us: "Okay, can you give us the documentation so we can continue working?" "Actually, we don't have that yet, you'll have to wait." 🙃

The views were quite nice. But it appears that some people were struggling to handle a bit of snow on the roads... Took us about 2 hours to do the first 5 km.

Time to go home

Cold and windy last day of skiing. Ending with quite a bit of fresh snow.

Fresh snow unfortunately also means not much visibility. At least we can ski almost all the way to our front door.

What to do when a day of skiing is just not enough? Well, night skiing of course!

Managed to catch some freshly prepared slopes today!

More skiing!

Went aaaaall the way to the top today. Cold and windy, but worth it :P

⛷️

Damn, not bad for a view. Arrived yesterday evening, so it was dark and I didn't see anything xD

*WEE WOO WEE WOO* THIS IS A FIRE ALARM. PLEASE LEAVE THE BUILDING VIA THE NEAREST AVAILABLE EXIT. Good morning to you too, Newcastle Dx (Was a false alarm, all is good. But given recent events it made my heart race.)

Very brief stay in Paris, before continuing... where to now?

What a surprize, the office is almost entirelly empty today.

You know that feeling when you overthink stuff and you should probably just go outside and howl at the moon and maybe someone else will join you and you'll be howling at the moon together and that's something.

I've had a Glühwein. I've had another Glühwein. I've had... wait how many Glühwein did I have?

🌄 🏔️ 🇨🇭

🛩️🏔️☀️

You know it's cold when the train does a lightshow.

The canteen served spaghetti. They were cut! How dare they.

I shouldn't read books that try to make me cry on the train on my way to work 😭

Sigh. Dreamt of lots of cuddling and affection.

The wind was blowing yellow leaves across the ground. One of the leaves looked odd. ... Welp, I'll take that, thanks xD

Yesterday was a beautiful autumn day. Wouldn't mind if all of autumn was like that. Alas, it's grey, cold and foggy 80% of times...

Someone asked me for directions in French. I answered, and after they said thank you, I replied "Bienvenue". That's not how French works, brain xD

Huh. First time I see a car driving around on a completely flat tire. How does one not notice that?

Sprawling in bed is nice. Would be better with someone to cuddle though.

It's getting colder and darker. Really craving some warmth and affection.

Feeling like there's a lot of emotions/feelings/anxiety piled up and I don't know what to do with it.

A traffic jam, because cows were blocking the road. How Swiss.
