Technology worker looking to re-enchant the world one amazing thing at a time. Topics include: nature, baking, books, Tarot, paranormal, Linux, programming, and whatever captures my whimsy.
It really fascinates me how so much time in Business is spent using So Many Words to communicate such basic and worn-out platitudes, and how so many well-educated people just nod along as if it has value.

More buzzwords. We’ve ramped up the pace over the last few minutes:
* Major Stand-Ups
* Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Shooting From the Hip
* “Ensure that our resources have agency to be empowered by data”

Let’s play Buzzword Bingo!
So far in this meeting we have:
* Tip of the Spear
* Customer Centric Approach
* Alignment of Goals
And we are about 8 minutes in. That’s a buzzword every 2 minutes or so, which is pretty conservative compared to some meetings I’ve been in.

Is there a nice way to tell a client “The problem is that your users can’t follow basic instructions?”

Work task of the day involves looking through user logs. Horrifying how many users seem to struggle with basic literacy.

Good sky viewing conditions tonight, so I got out my telescope. Can see Jupiter and four of its moons, and ever-so-faintly the Orion Nebula.

Thou shalt ban politicians from trading stocks, for they inevitably do insider trading.
It’s impossible to trust leaders that are abusing the system to get rich.

Haze is a little hazier but still good views of Orion, can see the Pleiades too.

Very clear night here. I can see Sirius, Venus, an assortment of middle-size stars, medium- to high-altitude air traffic, and two satellites. There is some smoke or haze in the air, but overall it’s decent stargazing conditions tonight.

Between still being sick, overtired, holiday stress, and the general state of chaos and slow-motion collapse of the world, I have NOT been super focused at work lately.

It’s not okay that corporate proprietary capitalist BS overrides open-sourced data about the literal universe we all inhabit. I know we’re all conditioned to be numb to this, but really think about what’s being taken from you during your one life on this planet. #ufosky

Easy math. Kids don’t make campaign contributions, but CEOs do. Therefore, to the elected class, kids don’t matter but CEOs do. The whole system is pay to play.

This is just my every day life to be honest
Sun Neptune action today. This may bring delusions, we are more sensitive to substance, brain fog, confusion, lack of drive, fatigued.
We should not have to work today. Leo Moon just adds to the drama.
We may feel unproductive at work, daydreaming, perhaps

It’s as good a theory as anything else floating around out there
The UFOs over New Jersey suddenly combine to form one giant spacecraft hovering over a boardwalk arcade. A beam of light shoots down into the building instantly disintegrating the roof. A Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein pinball machine floats up through the light into the craft. And then, it’s gone.

The automated checkin system for my doctors office shows sponsored content for drugs and medical apps after the checkin process is complete. What a fucking joke. I can’t even check in to a doctors visit without having to see ads? Fuck ads.
