I cleaned my sink. At some point, I realized that I really only need a fraction of my dishes for myself and kept washing basically a setting for one while letting everything else in the sink grow increasingly gross. Today I finally washed the accumulated gross and it was so gross I’m putting everything through the dishwasher again after a thorough hand-clean because it was clean-twice-or-throw-away gross. Barring a change in my social life, I’ll probably go back to just washing a setting for one while letting everything else sit, but this time I’ll let everything else sit in the cabinet.

Oh wow, my update was going to be that I am just getting to the cleaning-of-the-place phase of dry May, throwing out biohazards like last year’s oat milk. That’s a great accomplishment and I hope to be in your shoes next week!

Thanks. I’m watching. I got Fallout 4 years ago but got to a really early dying-over-and-over again rut (maybe the first boss?) without enough commitment to the game to make it through, and now I hear they’re regularly fucking it up so I’m not tempted to start it again.

Dry May so far. I’m keeping my other plans modest until I’m really used to it. Sudoku and Fallout now, theory and weights later.

Printer paper might give you away. I’ve only been to one similar event and the numbers were printed on something like event wristbands.

I don’t think I’ve seen alani nu. Have you tried Reign? Orange Dreamsicle is like drinking a cartoon.

It seems like a company that would require employee-purchased headsets would already require employee-purchased laptops. Do you know of any? Honest question; I don’t, but my bubble is pretty small.

Thermostat makes a little sense – I’ve adjusted it remotely after realizing I left it on during vacation.

It’s a square root of negative one. A sneaky way to get two answers with one question.

The number of times I walked out of the shower without using soap plus i times the number of times I soaped at least twice to avoid that scenario.

because otherwise the shareholders eat you alive for not chasing infinite profits.

I think that while the threat is real, the threat being a major motivator for upper management is largely illusory. It’s absolutely there, but it’s not making them do stuff they’re not already keen on doing. Nobody weasels their way up the ladder to do non-profit-maximizing things, occasionally getting reprimanded for not maximizing profit and always one stray “the old phone’s fine” tweet away from getting canned. They’re willing and enthusiastic profit-maximizers.
