Work

I got a promotion! Which is thrilling, even though I was mostly anticipating it and would have been very upset if I didn’t get it. Work is also doing full return to office, which is decidely less thrilling. My location is already pretty chained to the office location, but something about it definitely feels so terrible. But I am going to be co-mentoring some interns this summer, which is very exciting! I was part of the intern program at my company before graduating, so to be on the other side is especially thrilling. I’m trying to use it as an excuse to have time to beef up our woeful non-in-code documentation; we’ll see how that goes.

Not Work

I’m reading a lot more books; mostly sci-fi and fantasy as is on brand but also some cozy mysteries have been incorporated. I built a Magic: The Gathering cube where all the cards have my name in it, which was something I had tossed around as an idea for like a year. It was fun to curate and has been strangely rewarding to curate and see people play and continue to iterate. As part of that I have also been playing a lot of cube with people (mine and others), which is super fun. I’m going to pick up beading again; I swear. I really enjoy it when I sit down to do it, but during the winter it was dark enough I didn’t want to turn on the lamo. I’ve also a mission to resurrect my plants after the winter, and to try and grow the cilantro seeds my mom gave me.

This

Yeah, I don’t really know what sparked making this after pretty much a literal decade of not wanting to make a personal website. Maybe its the cognitive dissonance of a blog versus a personal website? I have wanted a space to write random long-form stuff, so.
