I'm 42, in a spiritual deconstruction and reconstruction process, and am finding that the more I read the less I find it adds up. Exvangelical. Optician. Left-leaning. Craft beer. Coffee. Memes. I write a blog sometimes.
If you're new to a job, and I show you how to do something. That's perfect. You're new and maybe have never done it before.
If I have to show you again later because you haven't had to do the thing for a while, I'm ok with that too. It's okay to forget something you're new at and have only been shown once or twice and never had to do again.
But...
If you're 2 months in, and I have to show you how to do the same thing you do every day, nearly every single time, I'm going to start having concerns about your ability and potential for success with us.
At some point, you have to take responsibility for yourself. Ask questions. Maybe I'm not explaining it well. Or maybe it's just hard for you to understand and need a bit more coaching. Even write the steps down and refer to those notes often.
But, eventually, you have to either catch on or admit you just aren't cut out for the job. No hard feelings if you're not. Not everyone can do everything.
Look at it this way: now we have some time to make sure the fallout shelter is stocked up.
That new Exodus album made my morning commute feel like I was in Twisted Metal.
First time I interact with our previous manager who went to his car to get something and never came back, besides a brief run-in about a week later at the grocery store, is him sending me a Waffle House meme.
Walked in the door and it really does feel like Monday today.
I really enjoy some of the bots on here. Especially the ones that are like little games that respond to you. Can anyone recommend some to me? I'm already following @YouAreCarrying@mastodon.gamedev.place
More like that would be great!
Had a dream last night in which a terrible storm popped up while I was in my way to work. The problem was, I was trying to get there piloting a hot air balloon, which I assume is not easy to do in a severe thunderstorm. I landed the balloon and had to call off work and then figure out how to get home in my hot air balloon.
I wonder why Iran's not negotiating with us anymore...
