After the latest round of pay raises I'm paying some of my staff more than I'm paying myself. I'll have to see about bumping my own pay for 2020.

Anyway, if you want to know what my shop looks like, imagine what you see there but with more light.

last boost: The company that was out filming recently sent me a preview video and permission to post that. Personally, I hope the final video is a little brighter and that material from the interview they did with me is not too cringe worthy.

The cat is snoring.

In unrelated news, I have 1/3 of a birthday (not mine) cake.

Today's scam mail at home had on the envelope, "do not discard by mistake." Okay, I'll discard on purpose.

me: installs 2048 on phone
Google Play store: Here are some more 2048s you could install! This one has ads! This other one has in game purchases! Here's one with ads AND in game purchases!

*hug*

Cat recommends petting the cat.

AT&T is unblocking at least one of my mail servers (which they had no business blocking in the first place).

Need to buy gas again. The out of gas light came on during my trip home last night. It's kind of a shame because my driving habits are perfect for an EV but where I live and without a garage that's not happening.

I sent in a bug report and now the graph is showing me the last 5 minutes instead of the last 8 minutes. That's not the change I was looking for.

Grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch because they're fast.

Super nice chocolate aromatics on this coffee from Timor L'este that I'm working with today.

This looked dubious until I realized that for some reason I was seeing a graph of views over the past 8 minutes. Now I wonder why anybody would think this is a useful thing to display.

None of them were leaking gas.

Gas safety inspector was out. I only know this because three of the meters he needed to wave his detector thingy over were behind a locked fence and I was the easiest person to find with a key.

Over the years I've assembled a small and eclectic collection of original art in various mediums (paintings, sketches, sculptures, &c), much of it from my travels around the world, some original commissions, and I have no idea who/where to leave any of that for estate planning purposes.
