① Shared a lot of things to my boss. I’m really glad to be blessed with such amazing leadership figure; and he’s such a great listener too.
② Managed to snag 2 portions of rice box for only 32K!
③ Yet another schadenfreude was had today 👀

① Had my very first meeting at the new office. The gears in my brain were working harrrddd trying to understand everything that’s going on, but I’m sure I’ll be able to do it!
② Ordered a forgotten favourite as dinner: Nasi Goreng Dendeng Lemak 😋
③ I think I made a good impression on my direct supervisor!

① The fact that I’m so trusted by the people around me even when I feel like I don’t deserve it; though now I’m learning to believe in myself more.
② It’s sooo nice to sleep with the AC on under my weighted blanket.
③ My strategy to set reminders every hour to keep in touch with my husband has been working well! Having ADHD is real tough, but I’m trying my hardest to manage it.

Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.
THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.
I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

① Spent the day with precious friends, had lunch and dinner at their house while (trying to) get to know their toddler daughter.
② My long-awaited socks finally arrived!
③ Gained a lot of insight from one of the said friends who’s also my coworker. Not to mention the fact that they put so much trust in me — I need to do my best at work!!!

① Third day of work was amazing — I was assigned to do a couple of tasks as a practice, and then my boss took me around the hangar to see different aircraft parts and how & why they need maintenance. Felt like a field trip!
② I also had an hour of conversation with my boss about non work related stuff and shared about me & my family.
③ Starting to see the impact of my absence somewhere else… Schadenfreude 🫣

① Second day of work was a little tougher because the training consisted of things related to numbers and finance, but it was still fun somehow??? And just like before, I really appreciate how my boss is training me directly despite being super busy.
② Managed to get a nice aldehyde-scented perfume for cheap!
③ I think I found the perfect rhythm for my new eating schedule 👀
