So the @pixelfed Kickstarter has officially launched, and it's already well on its way to meeting the goal.

Good luck @dansup, and here's hoping for a more diverse fediverse.

MyChart is fun because you see things you otherwise wouldn't see, like that a provider/nurse once heard you say you take Zyrtec for allergies and they marked it down as having an allergy TO Zyrtec.

Dear pedestrians crossing Dearborn at Lake St: all i ask is that you do ONE of the following

Look both ways
Take out your headphones
Cross only on green

Just one! I truly don’t care if you jaywalk! But bikes have a green light and you are jumping right in front of me even when I’m yelling at you!

I'm trying to do better to manage the ways my body hoards physical stress responses (getting shingles will do that to you) but the more I think about it/try to take deep breaths, stretch, etc., the more I feel MORE stressed lol
Getting decent at hemming jeans now, even if I did break a needle today.

Kind of happy that of the three fence quotes we got, we are going with the company named "Just Fence It"

Straight and to the point. Just fence it!

Just love that our executives drop a dime on a fancy new office space to make themselves feel important, and then make everyone work in-office more frequently to justify it.

I really am enjoying my job these days as I get better and faster at building reports and dashboards and as my customer insights project picks up steam.

But I just found out my company is being really shitty about remote work (even though we already have a handful of remote workers) which means if we leave Chicago like we hope to in 3-5 years, I'll have to get a new job.

And people are starting to suspect that when we move to our new office space next year we might not be "hybrid" anymore

It's not actually the year 2025 but I was having a hard time getting an edit to go through.

In my defense, my 2025 fiscal year at work starts in 25 days! It's on the brain.

It's the year 2025 and companies are still sending out proposals with two spaces after periods.
