It always annoyed me that Latitude 0N Longitude 0E is in the middle of the ocean. I want to step there.

I may have gotten up at 1am today, but Iāve caught up on my work (working from home until the sun comes up), am on my 2nd cup of coffee, watching cycling on my new subscription, and am 6 days away from going on an adventure.
Not a bad morning, all things considered.

Finally got eight hours of sleepā¦itās been a while!
But managed to be asleep at my target hour of 1900 local time.
Of course, that meant I didnāt have time to send a kind of complicated off-hours e-mail to one of my bosses, but whatever.
At least I had time to log in here, which is more important! And I had coffee made from yesterday, so thatās good!
And thereās beer on the sun!
Not so bad!

I suppose you could step thereā¦but it would be a very long step.

Revealed a big plot element in my game today. I loved seeing my players guess where things were going, especially because I was worried during planning that they were going to catch on immediately, which they most certainly did not!

My favorite cyclist just revamped his merch and logo, so theyāre having a huge sale on the old stock and we got a ton of stuff - hoodies, posters, shirts, flags, bracelets, socks, a freaking umbrella! - for $60. (Tadej Pogacar, if anyone was wondering.)

I am, for the first time in a LONG time, caught up on work, so I am now getting to relax with a cup of coffee on the clock before I go into the office. (In my āHit Me Swazye One More Timeā mug, if anyone was wondering.)
I reaaaalllly canāt complain about anything this morning. Except maybe the sleep deprivation.

This Sunday, we are going to see an old friend from High School. She is Hungarian and moved back to Hungary after college and we have only seen her once in the intervening 20+ years. We love her so much, sheās so sweet and we canāt wait to meet her kids and have her meet ours. Itās been so long and Iām so excited!

Had a good time spending about five hours onboarding a whopping two new hires in a conference room.
Lots of boiler plate stuff, took them on a tour of the facility, we did some required modules of self-guided tutorials. Once I found where they hid the big TV, an HDMI cable, and a scanner for the laptop, it was no big deal.
But the real pleasure is that these were two really great kids! Clean-cut, attentive, well-behaved, picked up on everything right quick.
Theyāre going to do just fine as part of our small dispatch team. A pleasure to be in front of a classroom again, and especially with some great āstudentsā to work with.

Got a nice compliment from the senior learning coordinator via e-mail today after I gave him a post-mortem of my onboarding of some kids (young adults, reallyā¦they had a bit more on the ball that your average punk kids).
Even the module that glitched out (a long one about all aspects of āProblem Solveāā¦which is way beyond what they needed to know) registered as credited for everyone, including me (I took it just to follow along in case of questions, &c., and there was some stuff I didnāt even know, or had forgotten, in there).

Last night I dreamt that I was hanging out with the current lead singer of Nightwish (just a band Iāve loved since 2005) and she was so chill and beautiful - thank you universe for my brain.
