I have neglected this site for nearly a year now (oops!). I miss it. Perhaps I'll find it within me to provide a substantial update soon. I'm back on a full time engineering grind and it zaps much of my desire to code after hours. Thank you to everyone who has left a lovely comment in my guestbook despite my absence <3

I can't believe that I avoided the Discworld series for so long. Going Postal has provided me with just the sort of immersive and whimsical escape that I've been craving. Are they all this much of a delight?

I am increasingly exhuasted with everything existing within the confines of the internet being labled merely as "content".

A glossary for my favorite corporate jargon.
- Let's circle back to that = We will never return to this
- OKR / KPI = Keeps the middle managers employed
- Can we take this offline = Can we set up a meeting outside of this meeting to avoid talking about X during this meeting (my personal favorite in remote settings)
- You are a rock star = You do too much work for the amount I'm paying you
- Lots of moving parts = Be patient Martha, this is some complicated shit
- Brainstorming session = Ten people on a zoom call, two are actively engaged while the other eight scroll through twitter with their cameras off, occasionally offering a grunt in agreement
