      This comment about odoo software made me think of that Bowie song from labyrinth where he says “voodoo who do you do the power of the baaabe!”

      So things are really looking up.

    Visiting the head office, something I don’t do very often. Mostly to give people a proper farewell and go through the offloading regarding my work laptop et al. Tomorrow is my last day here.

    “It’s visible that you’re field crew. It’s not often that people hand in their laptop, and the dirt is in the outside instead of covering the keyboard. On that note, once it’s off the domain you can keep it, we don’t need it”.

    So I guess I’ll be using the same laptop in my new job, starting Monday.

      I’m starting a new job on Monday too - with the same laptop. Will you still be working in the field or are you trading that for indoors?

        Same as before mostly. Maybe a little bit more home office. I expect maybe 80% supporting the operations from home, and 20% in a port somewhere on the other side of the world. I like it that way: Either I’m seeing the world, or I’m chilling at home.

    Two more days at the old job. It’s going slower than molasses. Usually there is hoopla planned when someone leaves this team but I haven’t heard anything about that happening. I can’t decide if I rather duck out quietly or do the hoopla.

    This weekend there is a big block party happening near me. I said I wasn’t gonna go but I changed my mind. I like getting out and going amongst people sometimes.

    Got Influenza A. My wife and daughter too. Shit’s fucked. Haven’t felt this sick since COVID in 21. And we even had our flu vaccinations a month or 2 ago… So must be some other strain.

      It sucks that people are so quick to escalate, especially when they’re the ones misunderstanding the situation. Surely they were apologetic once it was explained. Ha.

      ‘room at the office’? You sleep at your office?

    Spent the week doing tours with wifey, gaming like a maniac, catching up on some documentaries, and being glad for not having to worry about kids or pets or anything else 😊

        Dearth of excitement? I sometimes wish for a bit less excitement :-) But the day only has 24h and there are so many hobbies to pursue…

    Been working on cleaning out my mom’s house. Called a guy for what i thought was a small repair. That turned into $10k (that i agreed to and am now scrambling to find) and led to a foundation repair estimate of $25k plus expected plumbing issues. I don’t really want to sell it but not sure i can afford to keep it. Sad, frustrated, still have a tremendous amount of stuff to donate/sell and much cleaning to do. Grateful that i have summer break to do it so there’s time to appreciate the memories. Also happy that my son is living there, covering the mortgage, and having a nice, safe home that he wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford.

    Found out today that some of my coworkers are antivaxxers who just got the required COVID shots for work, and they spent lunch gaily chatting about how it’s not needed while I seethed. I will be avoiding them from now on.
