Thoughts on this pro-tip?

Instead of falling into the trap of having to get the universe lined up so your home can be sold so that you can buy the next home, get a rental appraisal for your home and add the rental income into the loan application for the next. That way you’re not locked in to selling your current house and you’ve got the option of deciding fuxk it, let’s sell instead

Worked for us.

Oh oh, and the beauty of open plan offices, trying to have a conversation with someone, and a third person jumps in with their opinions about what we 'should have done'.
i feel you on those, bruv!

to be fair, my boss will look at me re: your last point, i can get quite excited at times, from a distance - hah. work in progress.

at this morning's HIIT workout about halfway through I felt pretty fucked. Checked my biometrics post workout and I hit 203bpm, lulz. Pretty insane for a 38/39year old. We have this new coach, quite possibly the prettiest female I've ever seen, she gets maximum effort.

A nice story about a travel writer putting an obscure Japanese town on the NYT “best cities in the world” list. That’s all.

When I’m helping someone over the phone with network issues and ask them to get dirty in their data cabinet it feels like I’m channeling something spooky as I process what I imagine that they’re seeing while in return giving instructions on what to do.

HENCE WHY FOREVER ALONE
 
100 days sober, 78.5kg and I'm at 44 pushups.

New Year goal was 50 pushups, and I wanted to be less than 80kg. I'll try to get to 76kg, which would make me 20kg down from my dead Dad booze binge.

I never thought in my life I'd be saying "I've lost 20kg", but it's getting to that point.

I had a job interview this morning at an electronics manufacturing facility which is less than 1km from my house. I think it went well - I did it the old-fashioned way and went to the place and asked if I could see the machines that they use. It's a chance to switch industries - I'm sick of typical IT jobs. If it involves the cloud/AWS, Javascript and a web framework, or some m0f0's user account, I honestly couldn't give a shit.

Epic and GL with the new job. Sounds like something I'd be into and I would have done the same thing about asking to see around

I’ve found walking around the block in unusually warm temperatures late at night, say after 10pm feels beyond weird. Last summer was like that over here. Your whole body and soul is trying to make sense of it.

I've looked at that page a few times since you posted, I'm thinking about joining you for the Totara Park event. It's just down the road from my sister so it's easy. Are you doing it with a team, or as an individual?

Hunt added: “This is your UFC heavyweight champion this is the rat u need to look up to, this is the rat we promote please be upstanding and raise your glass to a company that has zero credibility.

“Worthless belt worthless champion and even more worthless rip off company. Any other sport this loser wouldn’t be here that’s why UFC have no credibility because they promote this garbage.”

A lot of tech companies use SVB for payroll. That means a lot of tech companies‘ employees aren’t getting paid this week. Or ever.
