My whole life, I've lived in New England: the land of blizzards and ice storms. When there's a storm on the forecast, we prepare. Stock up on bottled water and nonperishables, refill prescriptions that are running low, charge the flashlights and electronic devices, have a stack of blankets on hand, make sure there's fuel in the car and (if you're lucky) generator, restack the indoor wood pile. 1/3

Sketched this blue jay with Pentel pencils in a Leuchtturm A6 softcover. Blue jays’ feather patterns make them great subjects! Use code MIKE20 for 20% off your next Leuchtturm Canada order.

I've realized that my ability to take in information either through auditory or text channels seems to shift during the day and it doesn't seem to be related to environmental noise

@ardgedee As a programmer, sometimes I think I'll be making off-by-one errors until the day after I die

not me up at 5am scheduling my text messages to friends for 9:13am

For anyone knowledgeable in recruitment, referrals, or even you know a place/person hiring in the IT industry for a System Administrator, IT Support, IT Systems Engineer, or Cloud Administrator feel free to reach out.

My expertise primarily consist within the Windows & Azure ecosystem, but I am open to adapt into other operation systems. Primarily seeking fully remote, locally based in Michigan, or within Washington state.

This search also includes jobs that reside in an any European country (preferably EU Union based, such as Nordic, Germany, Dutch countries) that offers sponsorship (if lucky enough). United States is becoming very unfavourable.

Also to include, *ANY* entry level positions that you may know of (helpdesk, desktop support, etc) would be acceptable to me if you know of any.

Reposts are appreciated and thanks in advance for any assistance. ❤️ 🙏

@pluralistic thanks for sharing. I'm generally more impassive about other people's noise in public, but you've touched a nerve with a lot of folks it seems

@antoniahamilton

The key about conferences are the disintermediated moments that online events cannot replicate.

I’ve made lifelong friends bumping into random folks in the corridors of events. That doesn’t translate online.

Additionally, there are the convos that are spontaneous and ephemeral, where there isn’t the potential of a persistent record somewhere or where one needs not perfectly curate one’s words to present an image of self.

@mark not really? Like, I want a format to be persnickety about shit like that so I don't have to account for variance in my code.

I appreciate this message. I want more distractions to remind me I'm being distracted.

Last night, I dreamed I had a friend called Orson Wales, and every time I talked about them, people corrected me. It was very annoying.
