Now we can pin things! Re-posting my zenful foxy self made by the wonderful @paintfox.bsky.social ^^
We had an all hands today. They boasted about higher revenues. They dogged all questions about how they took our RSUs away basically saying "We want people who believe in our mission", threw in RTO BS, & to to add to the tone-deaf cheery on top, they ended with the stock is at a 52 week high today 🙃

How will I remember 2025...

-Mom diagnosed with Alzheimer's
-Witnessed a suicide
-Roommate broke his ankle
-Roommate had to put down his cat
-Employer took away a big part of our teams pay going forward

It's been a rough year to say the least. I be hopeful for 2026, but I'm not holding my breath 🙃

Perhaps at some point in the next few weeks I'll go to the 21+ movie theater and see Zootopia 2. Gunna feel a bit weird going alone to what's basically a kids movie, but I bet anyone else in there will be a fellow fur 😅

I've finally order a VR headset, want to explore the VR space a bit and try to figure out if and how I can use the models I bought. Besides, it would make me really happy to see my fuzzy self ^^

Setup a credit freeze for my mom because with the Alzheimer's she thinks every god damn offer in the mail has been personally sent to her by someone.

When I was at her house & she showed me one from big bank _________ & specifically pointed out how proud she was it had been "Signed" by their CEO

I have setup my VOIP number so that any calls from an "Unknown Numbers" gets routed to a voicemail inbox which plays the "This number is no longer in service" message for 3 minutes before actually allowing them to leave a message:

Basically it repeats this -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNb4...

I can already tell I am once again about to have the yearly family talk of "Microsoft Word is NOT an OS, no your OS does not come with Office" conversation for the 500th time 🙄

One of the perks to living in WA is we've had the house HVAC system totally off for the last month. 👌

Hell of a start to the day. My Mom's test result for Alzheimer's disease is positive. Got all the basic legal stuff done already in case this happened. Now gotta start all the other planning she's going to need.

#Politics
The GOP wants a shutdown because:
-It's the best way to DOGE gov people/agencies, don't care if essential workers get paid

-It prevents the jobs numbers release on Friday. It's likely bad, so keeping it unreleased is good for poll #

-Less data ~ Feds will lower rates based on older data
