Xer Shadow Tail ☄️🌺 @XerTheSquirrel@awoo.space

It seems that where I live is considered a key race, which means regardless of what happens there will be lots of angry people.

I saw a deer today with antlers! Virtually pretty much every deer I have seen go through my property just have no antlers at all, but majority are just teeny fawns which are so adorable.

My tensor tympani is being quite sensitive today, the constant fluttering is annoying. But that is life with hyperacusis.

I forgot that work offers health rewards gift cards, so got myself 160 USD of Walmart gift cards. I know it is basically just giving away my data but like this year I got about 600 USD worth of gift cards from various things.

I wonder if I should just make my own instance since I have https://java2.me/ as a domain lol.

It is tinkering time!

You know we were supposed to have an employee hangout to play the company owned CD-i but then COVID happened and I never got to do it. Definitely would be eating our own dog food.

One thing I dislike is sitting on my paws and waiting around for things to happen and information to come out. No idea where I will even be in six months because of unknowns regarding my own employment.

I do watch a ton of Terraria videos these days despite not playing it often.

I slept for 12 hours last night, is good sleep.

The Advance Wars 1+2 I have on pre-order was pushed back to January 1, 2024. This is definitely not happening.

I did the thing! I gave out candy! None left, but had no idea how this year was going to turn out so definitely going to get some more for next year!

The IFIXIT screwdriver set is really nice, although I have the basic "Pro Tech" set all the different wonky bits are quite nice for various devices I have lying around.

I wish there was a monocular that was like binoculars and did not do fancy "night vision" stuff and change the color, but also is something that has pretty good bulky zoom like bulky binoculars. Binoculars are so unusable with lazy eye and only have double misaligned vision.

Had a fun time bowling last night!

Put some fresh filters and domes on my hearing aids, so now hearing is back to HD from SD.

If you are working over 40 hours on salary you are basically working for less pay!

Example 100k USD/y salary:

40h ~= 50.00 USD/h
45h ~= 44.44 USD/h
50h ~= 40.00 USD/h
55h ~= 36.36 USD/h
60h ~= 33.33 USD/h

If going from 50-60 hour weeks down to 40 hour weeks is what quiet quitting is... then what the hell have I been doing with 40 hour weeks?

If I ever have to go on camera, the back drop of my meeting will be a Kurzgesagt poster signifying all the ways you can die in a black hole.
