It’s been exactly two months now since I left my cushy “safe-ish” job in my last company to come here and it’s been a hard two months of not just ramping up on a space that I don’t know much, but also dealing with effects of a terrible political environment, lack of trust in teams and overall morale which took a hit with layoffs that happened just a week into my tenure. Now within last two weeks a new situation has emerged which does not involve me but the effect of the outcome is going to mightily impact me, including one of the very reasons why I joined this company in first place! Of course hindsight is 20/20 and I nor others had any insight into these things, but last night I was like remind me again why I left my relatively stable job in a lousy economy to come here! It is true however that I have had the most amount of learning I could have had in the last 2 months that I didn’t for a year but gosh increasingly feeling itchy about choosing risk over safety of my job.

What a kaput of a day – nothing needed to close today. Even my gym that rarely ever closes shut down today coz of impending doom. Schools could have been all day. I get that we will have winds later tonight but even that prediction has gone weaker than it was supposed to be. In this age of AI and tech available the fact that meteorologists simply couldn’t figure this one out is quite remarkable. Like entire area shut down here today.
Dhurandhar 2 is 3 hours 55 minutes long??? WTF. Do they think they are making LOTR or something?
The weather is muggy and absolutely stand still right now. Literally calm before the storm types.
And there it is – 3 hour early dismissal tomorrow for schools. Good call!
Power cuts are pretty much 100% guaranteed tomorrow if the storms come through in way they are predicted. Given that we have so many trees in this part of neighborhood and city, will be a miracle if the power cuts are not long lasting. Hoping for the best 🤞
We get a lot of shitty weather but it’s not often that weather people sound alarms as they are about tomorrow – which begets the qn – why aren’t the schools closed for tomorrow? If schools can shut down for 2-3” inches of snow here well in advance, tomorrow’s weather sounds legit concerning enough to close.
Yesterday at dinner in restaurant my teen was like one she moves out of house we shouldn’t expect to see her beyond a few times a year. I was like wouldn’t you want to meet us more than a couple of times? Her response it’s not like you meet your parents more than once in two years so I am perfectly ok meeting you all a few times a year. I know this is all part of teenage growing up but I have to admit it stung a little. We explained to her that both our parents and us sacrificed this part of our lives so we were hoping it will not be the same with her to which she replied “we will see!”. This kid 🙄🤷♂️
Hurricane strength winds, squalls, tornadoes, derecho and snow – everything is on the menu tomorrow in dc area 😂🫠
