@kistaro Brains are weird like that

@Draekos Meat bodies are such a chore sometimes.

So last night I had a horrible encounter with some scissors and ending up cutting my hair very short chasing a mis-cut... because it's been 3 years since I've seen a stylist.. and my hair has been a mess.

Like it has been this short in years.. my bangs literally stop at my jaw line everything kinda follows that.

Since my hair is too short to put up (which I used to do to keep it from getting tangled with headphones) I wore it down for all my meetings this morning..

During all of them, everyone reference me unprompted used fem pronouns.. which usually people that aren't paying attention have used masc in the past.

(My HR profile, gsuite, slack, zoom and everything else at this company lists they/them as my pronouns and a lot of folks not on my team or that are not queer I guess miss that)

I was pretty upset about how short I cut my hair last night... but honestly I feel lot less crappy over it now.

@kistaro Those always suck a lot. I wish you a swift recovery!

New desktop pc.. did the thing... now I have to like go set everything up and move a bunch of crap so it is not just awkwardly sitting next to me and so I remove the old massive core x9 chassis with my old one..

Fucking hell.. another atmospheric river and flood watch... this is like number 5 since new years eve.

@kistaro No one deserves to have US Mil personal in their homes!

@mawr Makes sense.. I really want to do the sitting/standing powered desk thing.. because while I don't want to stand all the time.. just being able to swap it up regularly over the course of the day would be really nice and probably a lot better for my back and joints!

Apparently I'm very babble-y tonight.

@mawr I have that same keyboard!

Work also gave me the non-rgb one when I started.. really like it.. very happy with the mx browns and how it feels/is not super loud!

Got a solid chair.. though after we move I may trade up at some point, steelcase leap v2. which is nice except it is like "sit like this" super adjustable.. I keep eyeing the gesture because I like to shift around a lot and the leap doesn't do that well! Hopefully desk height adjustment and being able swap sit/stand will help

@mawr also gave me a medical authorization for ergonomic workstation evaluation and some other stuff.. though I don't need to worry about that too much.. current employer gives me 400/yr for stuff like that and 2k as new employee, so I'm looking at powered sit-stand desks this weekend, our HR rep sent me the form right before the end of the day with as long as it's from any major vendor won't be a problem.

@mawr though because of the stiffness and pain, they are doing an anti-inflamatory injection guided by ultra-sound next week.. which should get the inflammation down enough I can do the PT. He was happy to hear I'd been icing it and I should keep doing it.. couple of times every day and then told me to definitely stop using a sling, even if it hurts.. the sling is much more likely to cause problems (frozen shoulder).

@mawr yeah, been having steadily increasing pain, weakness and stiffness in it for the last 6 months.

Thankfully the orthopedic specialist was confident that combination of PT, icing, ergo (desk, sleeping) changes and some short term meds would sort it out.. and the stuff I was really afraid of (like the bicep anchor wearing out frequently happens after 15-20 years and would need surgery to fix) but the imaging shows it is still good!

Good news bad news... I have a rotator cuff injury.. but likely not require surgery... just a lot of physical therapy and new desk.. and some other arrangements... like... 18 months of physical therapy...

@mawr I can't really classify admins as cops. Someone has to keep shit running.. and sometimes that takes policy enforcement and the like but it's not policing or being a cop in my mind.

Unfortunately, humans are more difficult to organize and manage that even cats.. so we need guides and people to help provide direction and some form of enforcement of said guidelines.
This is very distinct from the role of holds the monopoly on violence for the wealthy for the purpose of labor suppression.

@anthracite That is a rad hat!

@mawr sounds like a busy day for a mawr!
