The cat can't remember why she stuck her leg up.

A long delayed order finally got delivered 2.25 hours after closing. Fortunately, I was still at work and noticed the delivery attempt.

Cat recommends curling up with the cat and having a nap.

Also, that's probably where I'll be teaching the class from so a guest appearance by the cat is likely, but not guaranteed.

Now that registration is open, here's the trailer for my next workshop. I'm surprised by how low they decided to price that as that's a bargain just for the coffee participants get even if it didn't also have the educational aspect.

The cat gets upset when I sit on the wrong side of the couch, but then when I move to the right side she gets really happy.

I'll be staying late at work more now. I'm trying to give everybody on my staff as many hours as they want (but not pressuring them to feel like they have to work if they're not comfortable with that) and one way to do that is letting someone work on stuff during hours when there's no risk of interacting with the public.

That's getting capped at 25ish attendees so everybody has time to get their questions answered and comments discussed, and registration closes a couple weeks ahead of the class so I have time to roast and mail coffee to everybody and everybody has time to taste those. I'm doing 10 different roasts of 1 coffee (2 approaches each to 5 different end temperatures, full roasting details provided) and including some green coffee for students to roast on their own after tasting those. Should be fun.

Apparently the platform getting used for my workshop is over-eager to notify presenters and that's why I got weird copy pasta where some of the text looked like my class and some looked like something nobody talked to me about. I'm really only doing just the one workshop. If I become aware of a sign up I'll stick a link in the video description for the trailer and flip that public.

I have a date (May 29) for the online adaptation of the class I was going to be delivering in Portland. I also received notification that I'd been added as a presenter on another class that nobody has talked to me about at all where it looks like the info from my workshop was improperly copy/pasted so I've raised the alert on that so it can get fixed but also to find out if I really am expected to do anything for some class I've never heard of (but which also sounds like it could be good).

Another cat was trying to get into the house today. I've alerted Punk and asked her to inform today's back porch cat that the position of house cat has already been filled.

The cat was so eager to start hsnging out with me on the couch that she knocked over another stack of books while running over. I should really put those back on shelves.

Downloaded the newly free Pac-man and wow, that's a lot of tutorial.

An SD card just forcefully ejected itself from my laptop and flew across the room. It's been a while since I've seen something like that happen.

Finished making the workshop promo video. Letting the PeerTube server do the smaller than 4K versions before I send off the link to that as they'll probably want something smaller for their stream.

Doing promo video editing. The cat makes an appearance.
