Crazy to think that it’s been five years now since the pandemic. To think that crazy 2020 year was now 5 years ago is just mid boggling.

Merry Christmas! I got a splendid nights rest (admittedly most of this week!) and I am beginning to treasure a good night’s sleep as a gift enough! Plans for the day include doing laundry, art, meeting a friend and finishing up godfather II which I got to intermission last night.

Was talking to bro today and apparently Goa tourism decline is so bad that nobody is showing up anymore. People prefer to go to Thailand or Vietnam for same costs and better service rather than go to Goa and pay the same. I didn’t think Goa had become that expensive but bro was like it’s so out of hand.

Wait, Christopher Nolan making The Odyssey was the last thing I thought he would ever attempt.

I am still searching for that perfect mid-layer jacket that is breathable and can be layered along with another jacket in 20s-30s weather. I layer a fleece pullover and then a 650 fill down-jacket. More often than not I end up sweating a lot because the fleece pull-over is not breathable. Need a jacket that is as warm as fleece but breathable. The search continues – I have already way way too many jackets and pullovers to count so I am not sure one more won’t raise eyebrows yes?

The one workplace training I dont miss from my edtech days in my big company? *Microaggressions*. Good grief, it was the most painful and absurdly stupid training ever. Like, absolutely anything you say, do or write could be construed as “micro-aggression” by another colleague with possibility of making your life hell (I never faced it, but so many ppl had in the company). It was to a point where every single conversation had to be so measured and so prim-n-proper that it was fucking annoying. Dont get me wrong, and microaggression has its place but good grief it was taken to another extreme in these new companies. Like just focus on your job and get out!

This week I have 6 meetings on my calendar which is a record low anyway, but icing being 4 of them are today! Which means past today whether I take days off or not it’s mostly a forced holiday week 😆

Got the yearly heating inspection done and apparently the heating backup is not working. Nah I ain’t spending another 2k fixing this electric shit. Gonna just budget for replacing it with gas furnance next year. Done with this fake electric shit.

On the plus side days are going get longer from now on yay yay yay! Fuck winter can’t wait for spring!

First truly cold walk of the season in feels like 20 degree weather today. It was biting cold allright but I have got my layers down to a T that I still work up a sweat on the walk even if my ears and face are frozen!
