Almost finished my paper this weekend, what a relief, it's due on the 1 August. I should knock it over tomorrow. My graphs are so fugly, but at this stage, I can't be too picky. #work #PhDLife

Procrasti-cleaned my desk. Filed away some papers, I dusted the monitor, keyboard and (physical) desktop. Now firing up my python kernel I have no reasons to not to now! #work

Australia News Beep: The future is uncertain for South Australia’s major disability employment provider. What does it mean for those it supports?

Twenty years ago, the Clarke family took their son Ryan along to his first day of work. “We…

"To hear these women tell it, leaving their jobs — whether for motherhood, starting their own businesses, or otherwise — isn’t some sign that they fell off a broken ladder; it’s a power move."

Re-sharing this as it's a great weekend read.

Probably the best piece I've written. It's sharp, clear, honest and will resonate with many, many people, especially women.

How I reclaimed my body through drystone, and in doing so reclaimed my mind and my self too.

Quit Quiet Quitting! The subtle double standards of workplace 'buzzwords'

With 'Quiet Cracking', a new workplace buzzword has entered the discourse. But all these new terms, and especially the reaction to them, reveal some interesting psychology.

I START #work ON MONDAY!

Officially scheduled as part of the opening crew for a little privately owned #peruvian restaurant as a cashier.

Also in a very rich neighborhood so I may end up being one of the most well paid cashiers in the world with tips.

I was relieved when the owner got back to me as I've had people hire me, then back out for whatever reason (they never tell you even if you ask).

Maybe Peruvian people are better for their word than #american ones.

Since I took a bluetooth speaker to work to replace a failing (broken) radio my Spotify recommendations and music profile have become messed up. Guess that is the price I have to pay to not have to listen to gambling ads and self-praising hosts...

In the #BadEconomy

> Getting Older under Capitalism https://www.anarchistfederation.net/getting-older-under-capitalism/

This morning, something happened that brought me immense pleasure. A long-standing client called and asked if they could "bother" me. I replied that they weren't bothering me at all, and that I was "testing some new things". They immediately said, "Oh, I'll call you another time then".
Of course, they had my full and undivided attention from that moment on.

One of the challenging aspects of my work method is making people (not necessarily clients, but generally) understand that experimentation is more important than deployment itself. When they see me set up a server in a very short time (and it will stay up for years), it's not (just) because I use effective tools, but also because it's backed by research, errors, and successes. In a word: experience.

Sitting in front of my computer with two old APUs, therefore, isn't a pastime but one of the most critical parts of my testing. Dated and underperforming hardware necessitates optimization. When people grasp this, it's a true joy for me.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go check how a signal penetrates concrete walls with three different access points placed in the same spot...

...And the fact that I enjoy all of this immensely is just an added bonus!

My lab has some Research Assistant work for me in the coming months *relief* #work

I’m curious if anyone has been able to find remote work? Legitimate work? General question, I know, but I’m running into nothing but scams and it’s frustrating. #work

Slack conversation with a co-worker:
Them: My gut says it's not an issue at all -- but I know my gut ... and it sometimes can be super wrong lol

Me: Yes, sometimes my gut instincts need a mental probiotic, as well.

Schönes Erlebnis im Meeting, wo auch mein oberster Chef mit bei war.
Das Thema war Abschaltung der alten Windows ADFS Server.

Ich: "...und dann können wir endlich diese scheiß AFD..ich mein diese ADFS Server loswerden!"

Chef: "Das war der geilste Versprecher überhaupt!"

Ich: "Danke, Macht der Gewohnheit!"

Damit war das #meeting noch mehr aufgelockert :)
