Today’s my last day at this job before starting a new job on Monday. In addition to making the rounds and discovering how much people have appreciated my time and will miss me, one of my favorite people I deliver to gave me a painting she had made for me that will now be the first decoration at my new desk.

Finding a way to live healthier while also saving a large percentage of money in comparison.

1. Beautiful weather.
2. Reading a book.
3. Discovering art.
4. Being identified as the moth guy on Lemmy a moment ago.
5. Had a great meal today.
6. Tea plus snacks had the perfect vibe for the weather.
7. Classical music (Sufi) really scratched the itch today.
8. The little death.
9. Water was delicious.
10. Liked how little I had to interact with people.

A co-worker who I don’t really know too well had been pushing off something I needed them to do. They finally got around to doing it today. They were legitimately busy though, or at least it seemed so. It wasn’t urgent or anything since I have plenty of other work to do, but now I can start on their project.

They treated me to a coffee at a coffee shop for making wait so long, which I thought was a nice gesture. We had a nice chat and I got to know them a little more. It just felt like such a genuine human interaction.

I ate some blueberries, which were some of the best I’ve had in a while

Beating the executive dysfunction finally. I’ve been trying to get myself to 3d print something for about 2 weeks. It’s a 5 or 10 minute setup. Haven’t been able to make myself do it. Dunno why.

Got home from work

New Rush concert announced. That’s how you make an old man cry right there.

The Daily Show

I have balls-scrunching anxiety.
So any kind of public speaking means I shit my pants.
I gave a presentation today & I only got scared shitless at the beginning. After those first 2mins, things went well.
Mind you, I had previously left mid-way from one such presentation with the same people, making a stupid excuse.
Felt nice.

When I went outside to feed the forest friends this morning, a blue jay with injuries that I had been hanging out with that was missing for a few days showed up.

I’m going to ride that high all day.

I cleaned my desk today :D

Got to say hi to her again. I expect nothing to come of it, but it’s nice to be hopeful again

Today has yet to impress. Yesterday, however… I was driving to work, when I heard news that the bridge I take to work was closed due to a multi-vehicle accident. I was literally at the intersection where I turn onto the street leading to the bridge when the traffic report came on. I ended up going through the intersection rather than turning. I took a half-hour detour along the same streets I cycle on in my free time, taking in the autumn colours and not worrying about traffic (there was none as it’s a reduced speed zone and people suck). Ended up going through our downtown, past all my old haunts, and eventually found my way to work. After all that, I was only three minutes late. My only regret is that I didn’t bring a coffee with me when I left the house.

Discovered that a record I thought I had listened to and not really liked, actually has a banger on it. Money not wasted after all!
