    Nah they all stick, but priorities are priorities.

    New shiny is much higher on the to-do than the stack of #TODO in my git or the half finished stack of 3d printed parts, or that access point that is begging to be put back together.

    It’s good having variety, I’m able to bounce between things while never really getting bored of one thing.



  • Hospitality is this for me, and has been for the last 18~ years.

    Really you have a good hour of power where the bulk of customers will want to eat, drink and have a good time - all at once because fuck the kitchen and the bar.

    Having to relay information from the kitchen, make sure the bar hasn’t lost a docket, dealing with spills, intoxicated patrons, wait people missing a meal / adding the wrong meal to an order plus the general meeting and greeting of walk-ins / bookings.

    It’s also managing wages - when to knock people off, who to send home early, who costs more, who is unwell or le’ tired. Who can’t work together, who is bad at pack down or requires micromanagement once the busy period is over.

    It’s a never ending list of monitoring, putting out fires, managing expectations of patrons and staff - all the while being legitimately nice and keeping your cool.

    Oh, and if something gets missed you’ve just put the next days crew in a bad spot. Didn’t prep that aquafaba? Forgot to swap a postmix bag, change a gas bottle, polish cutlery, clear tables or even check the fucking toilets for passed-out patrons?

    Rinse and repeat 5+ days a week. And this isn’t including how to manage personal relationships, hobbies and general self-care when everyone else is working a 9-5.

    At least I’m not bald or grey yet.













  • I understand this post is a couple of weeks old now, but I’m not able to access the site using Firefox on mobile using ublock / privacy badger. Frustrating spin as the site loads the content then slammed me with a non-compatible browser overlay.

    Adding to insult, a simple misclick via chrome ate all my entries and I’ve not got the capacity to finish what I’d almost completed nor attempt to complete the questionnaire again.


  • Me not emailing my negative UDS and EKG results to my psych until the day of my diagnosis.

    Instead for that week I was procrastinating, trying to unspaghetti my NixOS installation, installing a PS2 emulator to play a title that dankpods reminded me of.

    I’d been beating myself up over this shit for years, people in my life too just thinking I’m lazy and disorganised. Only took me until 36 to get a diagnosis 🤘 Happy I did.
