Two months ago, I ordered this statue as advertised on Facebook. This arrived (from China) today. NAILED IT – at Seattle, WA
Three days left on the team and still cutting code between KT sessions. So much I want to close out before I finish up

Trying out my new @bee__computer and need to remember to turn it off when watching TV. We watched the latest few episodes of White Lotus and now my summary is full of random tasks.

In Brisbane, unpacking our old items that have been in storage since before we moved to the US. Any plastic bag we stashed has long turned to dust.

I was listening to a recording of a work presentation the other day and one of the questions was from an Australian. I was checking the org chart to see what other Aussies were in the new team, before realizing it was just my own question 🤦🏼♂️

Hamish just pointed his wand and yelled "CRUCIO" at George who started writhing on the floor. I've taken his wand. I didn't think I'd have to explicitly ban Unforgivable Curses in our house but here we are.

I just got a memory of an early #FakePeterBlackQUT tweet from the early Twitter days. I had completrly forgotten about that nonsense. I think I did eventually meet him in person

It just took me 1.5 hours to get to work. Only gonna get worse come January once @Amazon 5 days starts. At least with 3 days, people can spread out some of the load - the Monday run yesterday was only 0.5 hour!

Thinking about movies from high school that were set in the 80s. If they made the Wedding Singer today it'd be set in 2011 🫠

My son's teacher has 1984 tattooed on her arm. I asked her what the significance was and she said that was the year her mother was born. 🫠 – at Kenmore, WA

We had plans to move back to Brisbane to be closer to our family, especially important after my wife's heart failure. They have been thwarted by a lack of available engineering roles in the Amazon office there. 😞 – at Kenmore, WA
