It's ya boy here eating half of an entire tray of Nanaimo bars at 2am because I looked at species population losses again and got sad

Cat, you're not a herbivore.

I think my cat might like the cat grass too much, I'm afraid he's gonna eat it all at once, oh no

Perfect start to a perfect monday

I have a weird cloud of thoughts about Armistice Day, but nothing coherent enough to really put into a tweet that gets it right.

But one thing I'm pretty solid on is that every Brand™ getting in on the action is trading immeasurable death & suffering for a shitty PR play.

Putting out a heated blanket for the cat was a terrible decision because now I just fall asleep on it all the time.

For like, hours.

Kinda sucks b/c it basically means I'm trapped where I am right now. For all my complaining, it isn't the WORST job, and I have benefits and stuff. I just wish I wasn't the only person holding this together.

But if I ever try to leave... what do I have that anyone would want?

Having spent most of my time maintaining grad student code written in C, that runs as command line tools and services has left me with:
- basically no ability outside my niche field
- don't know how to organise a large project sensibly
- woefully lacking in other languages

I wish I was like...
Minimally competent at my job?

Fact of the matter is, I can tell computers to do things, but I don't have enough background outside of that to tell them how to do USEFUL things (like most math) and I can't organise/structure projects for shit.

Bit of an excerpt from that VR bird game, and it's absolutely true.

Uggghhhh my shoulder feels
SO BAD

I sure do love being so tired by the end of the week that I spend my entire weekend doing nothing but sleeping

I'm basically a master agriculturalist at this point

Oh my god
This bullshit never ends
I'm actually in hell, aren't I? And this is my punishment

It's interesting that we actually have an identifiable "I had a litterbox problem" meow, though.

Communication!

Things I do not love: getting out of bed at 5am to clean my cat's butt and wipe poop off his idiot paws.

(He's on antibiotics and is having uh, predictable side effects)

If I could just stop falling asleep on the sofa for no good reason, that'd be just super

@XerTheSquirrel sometimes I question the major-minor-micro versioning model and wonder if a build (or release) number & API version makes more sense

@skolli@mastodon.social does it come in "laser"?
