Work update: Presentation went excellently! As in, folks saying "I've never seen an interview with [that VP] go so well before" excellently. c.c.

Thank you all for your help! ^.^

Relatedly, I could use any good vibes and positive energy and helpful spirits that anyone might have available. ^.^

(I am also doing invocation of actually-helpful entities as well, if anyone's concerned. :))

I have a big work presentation to participate in today, and also a second one happening that includes some other stuff I contributed to.

In situations like it's it's reasonable to invoke your megacorp like a goetic demon and ask for favor, right?

Relatedly, Susan Hawkins comes with my HIGHEST recommendations as a surgery-letter-writer. She has two doctorates, one of them in law. I feel like I now literally have a legal case written for my surgery. XD

Just read through one of my letters for the top surgery I'm pursuing, this letter being the really detailed history/psych one. It gives me chills about how insightful and thorough it is and I almost want to just start handing it to people and saying "here read this, this is me"

Anyway, welcome to "Indi flops in several plushful positions in the toy pile until ve works up the energy to have a food"

I suppose I should be thankful that the day that article is making the rounds is the same day the last... several weeks... of high burn-rate finally caught up to me? Thankful is.. a word.

Like for serious, how do I thread the needle between "Bring back the cool retro web from when I was a kid, nostalgia nostalgia nostalgia" and "The modern web is user-hostile actually, because capitalism"

He comes back and says “Yeah we tried that, they’re slow, do you have any cycles yourself.”

Can you FUCKING IMAGINE someone asking for developer help that way.

“Hello programmer who’s not on our team, please come over and do work for us anyway.”

Gee I wonder if they're doing any better these days about how they look at design as a discipline.

Oh lovely. The VP for my old team, which I left because they gave zero shits about design as a discipline (and have continued to do so to the point where the person who joined after me left too) just emailed me saying “Hey we need UX help, do you no anyone who's looking."

I say no, and think (but do not say) how much I would not recommend that team to any designers in the first place. I point him to the core design team, which is how that stuff is supposed to work.

I just realized tonight that Ma-Ha-Suchi is why Garou metis sometimes have horns.

Holy shit.

Okay, everyone who was talking about the Werewolf stuff with me last night? Look what you all made me do:
