Category: Daily Life

For the life of me, I have no idea why I’m holding onto this book.

Student: Why is my life so difficult?
Master: Why do you choose to make it difficult?

In addition to my regular programming study for work, I do some daily mental exercises. I am practicing Spanish daily. I am practicing Morse code daily. I try to work a non-work related programming challenge daily https://www.codewars.com/ I’m studying ham radio to upgrade to my Amateur Extra class license. I try to get some daily reading in even if it is just a paragraph or listening to an audiobook. And I’m now adding a daily math problem from https://www.mathopolis.com/questions/day.php where I’m doing one math problem from every grade (yes, I got cocky and missed the 2nd grade math problem) and topic. I want to see math like Neo sees the Matrix. I’m failing a bit at my daily physical exercise but motivated to change that.
What do you do to stay sharp?

So, I worked on a client’s website all day.

Architekt Poppy Red is a beautiful ink!

Alas, my trusty grapefruit knife cannot be found….

I’m focusing 2022 on closing out as many projects as I can. In 2023, I’ll close out any that did not complete in 2022.

Work: “It’s Monday! We want you product! So much to do. Go go go go!”
Also work: “Eh, yeah, we installed so many software and firmware updates to your computer over the weekend that you will spend half your day rebooting your computer. No, we aren’t moving the deadlines.”

We need to rename the days of the week. Let’s begin with Monday:
Xanaxday
CBDday
Caffeineday
Ritalinday
Cialisday
Scotchday
Aspirinday
