My tax return is ready. The refund gets applied going forward and it looks like nothing is owed on estimated taxes until the end of the year. If the book I'm working on sells well that might change. https://roastingbook.coffee/

whiskey and cat time

Me: Good evening, Wilson's Coffee & Tea
Caller: Is this the fish market?
Me: No, this is Wilson's Coffee & Tea.
Caller (disappointed): Oh...

Answered the phone again. It was another person who wanted fish.

A lot of cool work has gotten done by customers in my shop. I've seen people working on new construction technology, new medical technology, several books have been written here over the years, &c.

Had to tell someone that we don't have fish. Because I guess nothing says "fish" like "coffee and tea".

Got back from my cat hug break and there's a cement expert at the shop teaching a younger guy about some pretty advanced stuff.

Today has been an all around terrible day. Once my afternoon staff is here I want to go home and hug my cat.

Reminder that when you use Typica for your coffee roasting and production data, that data is stored where you want it, whether that's on the computer at your coffee roaster, a computer on your local network (recommended when you have multiple roasting machines or just prefer to study data away from the machine), or out on the Internet if you really need that (you almost certainly don't). You control where your data lives so another company can't take that away from you. https://typica.us/

Utility work was happening. There was a thing that they were scheduled to do in my house next week but as long as they were already there I just let them take care of that early.

One of the rubber strips on the bottom of the laptop has fallen most of the way off. I own glue that's appropriate for fixing that but it's not where I left it.

I think the cat hid my glue.

Given how tiny this instance is I don't have to do a lot of moderating, but if you go out of your way to @ me with your trash account I won't hesitate to full suspend.

The grocery store I went to today had various sub-headings in the cat food aisle. The happy kitty section featured the saddest looking cat models. I picked a bag from the meow section.

I should probably buy cat food tonight. She has enough that it would be fine if I held off until tomorrow but I don't want to feed her in the morning and have her noticing that there's no more cat food left.

I keep telling people, "you know, I really shouldn't have admin access on that account," but nobody ever goes in and revokes this stuff when I'm done.
