all tech majors are way more like the holy roman empire than anything unitary. "yay emperor hans josef the whatevereth", says some obscure principality cuz lesser prince josef bugger the whatevereth does a good job in dealing with the bandits and signed a good deal with the neighboring bishopric and doesnt do as bad poo poo. "gently caress hans josef the whatevereth" says another obscure principality because the prince-elector rastimon the whatevereth is a little fuckin poo poo and raised taxes and declared war. hans josef doesnt have poo poo to do with anything and neither does the exact identity of what tech major you're in

the thing is if im driving all the way there from home i may as well just go to work (and also drop my wife off at work since we commute together)

this way we're not taking 2 cars that day (40 mins each way, YAY)

when i used to commute it was 20~25 in and then an hour home on the 8~5 schedule.. then i got promoted, had my hours changed, and it was 15~20 in and home. then the plague and it was all made irrelevant for three years

now i'm probably going to be laid off at the end of the month given how many all-hands/dept these past four months have had and the layoffs that have resulted from those

cjs: called the same helpdesk number twice to be told "my phone number needs to be added to my workday profile" and it has gone up to the Sr IT Manager of this company because I've been without access for over a week. I know more about how to submit helpdesk tickets thanks to hearing the same droning messages for thirty minutes in between moments of hold music

so last week or so I talked about uprezzing a picture I really liked of the chili peppers then sending that to Costco for a poster AFTER I used ai with better results

the poster came in (the one hastily done in photoshop using some math online) at my brothers place and surprisingly… it doesn’t seem TOO bad. I’ll see how it is in person but I think with this on the wall and surrounded by other photos and stuff it’ll be fine.

what do all of ya think?

it's difficult to be certain from a pic but it looks like it's probably pretty good. it at least seems to avoid a lot of the blue/yellow/green/magenta casting i see on a truly unfortunate number of grayscale prints

cls: dentist was today. six teeth need crowns

entirely my fault, too, for not flossing. even bought a waterpik several years ago. just sits on the sink counter gathering dust and sediment and i don't even understand why i continually refuse to take care of myself. same as exercising

all the work on my mouth over the years you'd think i'd have taken the goddamn hint and actually listened to the professionals, but turns out i'm basically a loving idiot

I think one thing that improved my motivation to floss was realizing that it's not necessarily this vague process that eventually incrementally improves your dental health, like eating healthy wrt overall health, but rather thinking about it as there being gunk between my teeth that needs to be removed asap or it will pretty immediately turn into tartar which will make my gums inflamed for literally the entire time until I next go to the dentist and have my teeth cleaned.

I also loving hate going to the dentist and will do pretty much anything to make it even slightly less bad, even if my flossing technique actually sucks and even though I've been flossing 3x a day they'll think I only floss 1x and I'll be like "uh yeah I only floss 1x a day" rather than admit that and feel dumb every time.

Also definitely don't avoid going to the dentist just because you don't like going to the dentist, speaking from experience.
