Day 2,331: I Love Writing
I love writing. Like...reclined, fingers on the keyboard, headphones on with music playing, diving into my imagination...I love it. So much. I don’t know if I’ve really forgotten that, but getting into bed tonight, putting the music on and setting up to write this...
Day 2,330: Knives Out
We watched the whodunit Knives Out tonight. It was delightfully old school. Well written; not overly twisty, just a dead-center master detective crime story. So satisfying. Well acted. Directed. All of it. Delightful. Work was busy. Jeepers I’ve been busy lately....
Day 2,329:
Started with my new company today, which is weird to say, because I still have all my same coworkers, even over on the Netflix side of things, and I’m doing the exact same work 😛 And from home, even! We’re all working from home right now. It’s...odd. Out of my...
Day 2,328: Still Adjusting
Still adjusting to the time change. I should be asleep right now, but instead, it feels like time to get ready for bed. Aaaallll because of the time change 😛 That was one thing I dug about working from home: I could make all of my own hours, and not ever have to...
Day 2,327: The King Returns
We podcasted tonight. Might be the last one we do for a little while given how concerning the outbreak continues to be. But, we wrapped up the Lord of the Rings trilogy tonight. It’s definitely too late to write much, but we had such a good time....
Day 2,326: Shut Down
America is shutting down. Everyone is retreating to their homes. Large gatherings are all cancelled. Workplaces are shuttering. The only busy places that remain are the grocery stores...which aren’t really that bad, all things considered. Here’s why: the trains are...
Day 2,325: Last Day
It was my last day for a while in the Netflix offices today, and it just so happens to have coincided with the first confirmed Coronavirus case for an employee’s spouse who works in the other building on campus, the big building. So . . . It’s all in lockdown over...
Day 2,324: Modern Bed
The three month struggle to get our new bed is finally over. I’m lying in it right now. West Elm has really cool stuff. Love it. But if it’s not something they say they can ship immediately, be prepared to wait for it way, waaaaay longer than they say it will take....
Day 2,323: New Old Job
Looks like I’ll be starting a new job on Monday. Except it’s also my old job. The group of people I work with are being outsourced to a new company, and that includes me. I’ve always been a contractor anyway, so this really isn’t all that unexpected. But it is a...
Day 2,322: The Turning Point
I got some clarity today on the job front. Praise be. I was made an offer by a new company, and I’m deciding whether or not to accept it. I think I will. It’s a decent offer. And I’d get to continue doing the work I’m doing right now, which I know is valuable to my...
