The deck work has progressed at rapid pace since yesterday. At this rate they may even be done with all by tomorrow! This contractor is for the books, keeping ahead of my expected schedule.

Just last week we ended up in Target much against my wishes but it was the closest and we needed a back to school item. The store has become a former shadow of itself with zero life and zero charm. I had a Target credit card and we used to frequent the store so much but looking at how empty and depressing it looked, it was clear they were struggling in a location that really should have had them full all the time (which used to be the case!). Well deserved though. They won’t do the ONE thing that could really get back customers – apologize, go back to how they were and embrace DEI/LGBTQ as they did earlier. Today the CEO paid the price for it, and I hope this company goes bankrupt because they refuse to learn and adapt.
I am finally seeing some ads from Abigail Spanberger for VA Gov race. Like finally. Spanberger is determined to make a fight out of an election that should really be one sided in favor of her.
Didn’t sleep well at all and woke up to a teenage meltdown and ensuing yelling match between all parties. School days are back again 😀
Me and a couple of colleagues working in different teams are trying to get together for lunch. Apparently the earliest we can all do a lunch together at work is mid October. How the fuck can people be THAT busy? It’s literally lunch! We sit on different floors in different teams is all. And we need to fucking plan 2 months ahead?
The kid is taking World History + English combination honors class this year. As a part of the class the books they will read through the year are The Odyssey, The Martian, Rocket Boys (On which October Sky was based on) and Fahrenheit 451. I told her I’m going to co-read the books with her as she goes through year. We also made plans to watch the movies too once she finishes the books, ending with the Nolan adaptation of Odyssey next year. I am loving this course more than her right now.
The deck guys are working in full gusto today but I don’t get why they didn’t work with such fervor last week itself. Typical contractor stuff. I am not escalating until next week.
The barista in our building does not get extra hot cappuccino. He basically burns the coffee inside out. No, I just need a little extra hot coz he makes it lukewarm, but gosh he takes extra hot to the other extreme!
I may or may not have inadvertently also fixed the duplicate posts on RSS feed issue. I’ll know soon if I did.
Claude gave me a script that just ran out of the box perfectly. Why the fuck was I even trying to code something? I mean I liked the tinkering around but heck yeah I just need to see results.
