@matthras I use shelter to create a work profile. I have work email/meet/pagerduty/slack in there. I turn it off when I'm not on call/working.

My manager is welcome to text my actual phone number to escalate issues outside of my hours as I'm always willing to have that conversation but its far enough outside of the 'just drop a slack and see if he notices' path that it rarely happens and is very intentional when it does.

@kusuriya @lattera one hand behind your back. Shocked is fine if it doesn't go through your heart. So, always keep one hand in your pocket/behind your back.

@aconaway this reminds me of the first time I saw a tap and die used. 'you mean you can just make any piece of steel a nut?'

I love #welding, #metalwork, #mechanical and #machinery. It's a known quantity but it's something special when you're the one who knows it.

I just ordered 100 AA batteries for my smoke detectors and my Amazon recommendations immediately changed to new balance (wide size) and off brand pleated khaki cargo pants.

I've never felt my age more acutely than at this moment.

@tayfonay I'm a tab hoarder, and I have an excellent memory of where I left everything. To the point where people are a bit surprised when they watch me use them. I'm usually still using them for reference or have them open because I need to make a note of the link for documentation but, at the end of the day it's because I'm a serious procrastinator and every tab is a task.
