learnteachMy aunt Jean Ann died Sunday night. It wasn't unexpected. She was taken off of life support Sunday morning. I remember her holding midnight madness parties for the assembled cousin gang, where we could stay up late if we were good, and giving us bugs to eat (chocolate covered ants.). Godspeed, Aunt, and I'll party in your name.
Cousin Wanda's soon.
Adriane W. died--I know her son much better than her, but I'm glad I got to be glib for her at the steakhouse. I'll wear the tie I was given there in honor of her, tomorrow. I feel really bad for her son. Gonna make an interesting TnT game this weekend.
Tomorrow I have two interviews for my company, for Escalation Engineers. I asked my manager about my moving up, and he told me that I didn't have the necessary skills for the role. I asked him to test me on it and he said I hadn't demonstrated deep dive and code reading abilities yet, so no go...but I have...but he's all about that block. So again I'll be interviewing for someone who does less work than me and will be paid more than me. Very fun. Twice. In honor of this, I'm not going to work any extra hours, it'll be good to learn how to set good limits.
Plants are sprouting, early mustard is flowering, I need to get starts going. It'll happen.
