@moonman Back in the 1970s, I broke the family's fridge / freezer by trying to remove frost & ice with an ice pick. Punctured a coolant line. Hissing and an odor I hadn't smelled before. That was before the old "Freon" coolants were banned, so no idea whether this is what you noticed. -

They have an interesting mixture of fruit downstairs today. Cubed strawberries, blueberries, dried cranberries, raisins, cubed watermelon, cubed honeydew. It is a mixture of textures and of sweetness & tartness. Hopefully, the energy propels some soccer or basketball team to win the championship today. -

The loud sports tournament (or music competition; it was never clear which kind of group these families are part of) weekend is coming to a close. The loudest hallway-stomping, “outside voice” conversing families have left or are about to leave the hotel. They weren’t intentionally rude or anything, just unaware that their noisiness affected other people staying here. I… -

Every now and then, I look at https://status.wasabi.com/ to see whether they've fixed their "degraded performance" issues in their US-East (since 2019-10-05) and US-West (since 2019-10-12) regions. -

Got to talk about #baseball (and some minor sports like #basketball and #football), politics, and work stuff. Oh, and whether he should have his #PS3 repaired or buy a used one from #GameStop. -

@ajroach42 Good afternoon. Noisy neighbors in the hotel, but not obnoxious. Planning a trip to Target soon.

Phone calls with co-workers, kids, nephews so far. -

“Maytag mode” — when there’s little work, but people still need to be present in case some work appears.
Mark is telling me that his office is expected to slide into this mode in December or January, but the office he’s trying to get me moved (about 4 hours away from all the MO grandkids) to isn’t even open yet. -

@amic We have the same thing at work. I keep telling people they need to elevate their laptops and use an external keyboard. That way, if there’s a spill, we just replace a $20 keyboard instead of a $1,200 laptop (and deal with the “Report of Survey” [ https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/report+of+survey ] paperwork that accompanies damage or loss). -

@geniusmusing From the days when it took two jobs and a student loan to keep a roof overhead and food in our stomachs, I learned that “waking time is productive time” ... it’s been really tough learning not to feel guilty when I’m relaxing. -

I’m trying to decide whether to dedicate some time to a project idea. Right now, I think I have the time and energy to give it, but past experience says that’s not always available a month or two later. Maybe I should just kick back and play #Galaga when I’m not working instead of trying (and failing) to be productive with every waking hour.
