Married cat dad, data entry worker bee, union steward. I enjoy snacks, fresh air, speculative fiction, and I spend a lot of time just staring at the sky. You can also find me at https://lincolnite.net/@unprovoked.

Just watched a three-minute video from the CEO of my administrative department and somehow managed to fill five Bullshit Business Buzzword Bingo cards at once.

@glitzersachen Though I would be hesitant to use the word "intelligence" in relation to any aspect of it.

@glitzersachen The CEO definitely comes across as an escaped Holodeck character, even in person.

I made a request of Prod Support that turns out to involve hard coding changes. They responded with an 18-point questionnaire; from my POV, the answers are largely, "I don't know shit about fuck."

@Binder I do love the drink, but I haven't found the diet version locally for months on end, and it frustrates me greatly.

Checking the progress of a sheet of snow inching its way down a ramen shop roof in Sapporo, as one does.

    @Binder Time is the greatest weapon of mass destruction (I learned this from the Fallout TV show).

    I love this time of year, when non-USA pro sports turn up more often where I can stream them. Kabaddi League yesterday, NZ Super Smash. Canterbury Kings 105-5 vs. Auckland Aces; their target is 186. (44 balls to go.)

    The neighbors think I’m afraid of their dog because every time the dog gets close to me, they follow the dog to me & I move away.

    Great fun hangout and gaming day. Diner breakfast with a sweet drink. Then – finally, now that they've been open a couple years – got to the games cafe downtown; it's an absolute marvel. Coffee drinks, snack-tray lunch, played Mille Bornes and Trogdor!! The Board Game (!!).

    I still don't grok the rules, but I can tell you that Canada just upset Australia 19-14 in a 3rd-place playoff.

    I feel valued as an employee when my supervisor sends me an invite for a meeting – one which appears to have been scheduled specifically to address a topic on which I have already written several paragraphs – with the comment, "Do you remember what this is about?"

    Cool cool cool. "Precision agriculture has greatly increased the yield of farms, and a 2023 report by the US Department of Agriculture noted that more than 50 percent of corn, cotton, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and winter wheat are planted and harvested with 'automated guidance.'" https://www.404media.co/solar-storm-knocks-out-tractor-gps-systems-during-peak-planting-season/

    Gaming group is shifting into 13th Age fairly soon, so I am crafting a Wood Elf occultist who's packing some devious magic and can also mess you up with a long sword. Not exactly sure what I'm trying to get out of my system, but there seems to be a trend forming here.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation ended 30 years ago this week. At the time, I worked for a low-power TV station that didn't air the show. We got together for a pizza party and watched the downlink in our production studio – a week before the local broadcast (which aired on the station that I eventually went to work for).

    The level of collective – and unabashedly verbalized – incompetence in this office is beyond staggering. Sort of like, "I've been to the edge of space. Ain't nothing there but... more space." [thousand-yard stare]

    It is not my nominal function to send "You must be new here" emails to providers, but I can do this (recite relevant chapters of the state administrative code) all day.

    A very exciting day yesterday, with a possible encore performance today. https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/lsrmap.html?zoom=7&lat=41.38&lon=-96.65&hr=24&severe=1&winter=1&flooding=1&tropical=1&other=1&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0GvpXwmN4zZHGr9cwbotiB1hSMnyrNYy5dyuH5id9aSqU2ZZAKAYi9In0_aem_ARjhIMOK8i0A9UpJKwVpGAPD409Mup4MdbrSCXUpXjjtgiDKb9weeG4Yv1MHwKBAG1CH5iI-egAqvoVjZkg6oUGW

    Still thinking about our madcap gaming session last night. The whole group was rolling so many Advantages and very, very few Successes that it just turned into... how to describe it? My net runner was in a slap fight with a scientist dual wielding syringes, and neither of us could land a blow. When we finally got to "let's blow this thing and go home!" it was a blessed relief.
