Further to Wednesday's post: while working with a student to use Outlook with JAWS, he wanted to send his classroom teacher a joke about 90s hip-hop, but he couldn't think of one when it came time to write the message. In about 30 seconds, I came up with the following. Why wasn't Tupac Shakur afraid of insects? Because he was super fly.
@sclower @wmj1102 The temperature down here can fluctuate quite a bit, so I don't miss the 100 degree days for 4 months thing, but virtually no thunderstorms at all really. During the summers we have perhaps five or six in total.
@TheZooLady I already have. I'm going to do a test run in about fifteen minutes just to double check.
It's rather short notice, but stars seem to be aligning for a rare Thursday night John Zone for anyone who may need a few hours of spontaneous stupid. I know that I do. If there are no unexpected fires to put out, this will begin at 9PM Eastern Time at

@rlegowski1 Absolutely! Sleep and coffee are wonderful wonderful things!
@frog67 It was! It's all of my own doing, and it's such a varied role that I have that it's never boring fortunately.
@amy0223 Thank you! I always enjoy reading your updates. I do need to pop my head up a bit more. Most days aren't quite that hectic, and I largely make my own schedules, but that breakdown was sort of my apology letter to this space, because there's just not much left in the tank at the end of the week. I'm also conscious of the fact that some reading this who are job seeking may perceive that as an unintended slap in the face. I feel very blessed to be where I am, and don't take it for granted.
My day. I woke up at 3, got up at 4, was on a bus at 5, one train at 5:30, a second train at 6:15, and at work at 6:30. At 9:30, I had an appointment at a primary school with a student learning Copilot and JAWS; Zoom meetings at 11, 12, and 1, a Teams meeting promoting an AI course at 2, and conducted a home visit with someone at 3:15 to set up a pair of Meta glasses. I was back at work at 5:30, on one train at 6:15, a second train at 7, and a bus at 7:45 to arrive home just after 8. John tired.
@singingnala This post made me smile. That show holds some very special memories for me. I'm so glad you all were able to reconnect.
