Crafting/vaccine side effects update: I am still not up for crafting but oh my gosh I feel so much better than I expected to! I did have a POTS flareup but my blood pressure never got below 100/60, so like it barely counts. I mean, the tachycardia was worse, but even that was nowhere near what it's been previous times I got the booster shots, and it's mostly resolved itself within like 24 hours of getting the shot instead of like three days. I'm still operating at a deficit of water and salt but I'm working on it bit by bit, and I was skeptical when my doc said I wouldn't need an extra dose of my salt-go-up pills* but he was right! Anyway point is no crafting updates today but there might actually be crafting updates tomorrow, which I did not expect to be saying *fludrocortisone! It helps me retain salt in a way almost approaching the normal human way of processing salt

I have Defeated Office's god awful policy of attempting to desperately trying to install bullshit I don't need onto my system and attempting to make it impossible to uninstall all the random bullshit. I stand victorious with my stand alone copies of powerpoint and excel and literally none of the other bullshit. I Win.

Today at work I tried to talk about how the value of art is not in the product but in the sum of the work that went into it (and therefore AI can't replicate it sufficiently just by answering a prompt and generating i.e. a movie in a not so distant future) and my colleague, who I like very much, almost looked at me with pity in her eyes, because apparently the concept was very avantgarde to her

I have to be honest. There's this cute guy who works as an in-school emotional assistant to kids at the high school. He's really cute. He has an Irish last name too I think I should bring him home to my parents

the boys' first commentary on keating's lessons being cameron and neil saying 'that was weird' / 'but different' is getting to me like the entire film is a narrative on the suffocation of heavy academia and how it prioritises certain subjects (medicine, law, business, engineering) while condemning creativity and passion and how institutions are promoting conformity and grades-over-wellbeing teaching methods more and more as you both move up the elitism scale and as time goes on, and how that was okay for these kids and like so many generations before them they were going to let it happen to them, but one teacher was different. one single teacher told them to seize the day and make their lives extraordinary and he made them look directly at the state of things, and for a little while it was beautiful but they're just kids; how could they ever change things? and sure enough it catches up to them and the institution wins because it always does and suddenly the suffocating thought of what neil is so sure his life is going to be is so daunting and terrifying that he cant even face it

I'm an argumentative bastard just like both my parents but I try not to get into fights too much because a lot of arguments just turn into a waste of time but fuck man. It's really hard sometimes.

Sincerely as a former user of both Excel and sheets, it is nuts how much easier libre office calc is. Not in the typical way that certain things are easier to access but moreso that the formulas and ways things are set up just work with my brain better. I never really had much need to learn formulas in Excel because there were so many and the layout felt over complicated, and don't even get me started on sheets. But with calc, there's a lot more freedom with the formulas and a lot of the skills you have from either of those other programs carries on here. Not a super big point or anything to this post, just simply very appreciative of what calc can do.

work vent but. consistently frustrated that i’m kept off of various surveys despite my background making me better-suited to it than the colleague who does keep getting assigned to them. not to mention i actually want to do that kind of work.

its frustrating being, as another colleague calls me, “the little man on the totem pole”, as in since im the newest i get last dibs, which to a degree makes sense but like. why did everyone else get to choose their niche and mine was assigned? why don’t i get to choose?

So I'm writing a 00q fic centred around...err...MS Excel, and not only did I have to google 'disadvantages of Excel' to support Q's anti-Excel rant, but I also gave myself a coughing fit bristling over some of the entries in Google
