Evie Day 127
Good morning, and happy Friday! I hope this finds you well. It is 21 July 2023.
Had some weird stuff happen with my schedule over the last few days, with some class schedules changing and others requiring a little more attention. Found out we changed a vendor or an application for background operations and the transition did not go as smoothly as we would like, but after a day or two, everything got sorted out, and now I don’t have to burn CPU cycles trying to solve that problem.
One of the things I share with y’all is that I’m neurodivergent – I’m ADHD, and I have a few other proclivities (like using big words like “proclivities”) that can cause some anxiety if certain habits aren’t addressed. I like structure – when I have a session, and the defined purpose of the session is activity A, I don’t want to do a spontaneous redirect to activity B. It gives me anxiety… and sometimes the people directing that spontaneous redirect really don’t care.
I care. If it caused me a little anxiety, I may have not been alone. There are a lot of neurodivergent folks in IT.
After a bit here I’m going to watch a little bit of the FIFA Women’s World Cup. I watched a couple of the matches from the opening day, with New Zealand earning an upset victory over perennial powerhouse Norway, and the other host country Australia winning a competitive match against Ireland. I’ve got Canada/Nigeria recorded for some early viewing today, and then the US women square off against Vietnam tonight for their first match.
OK, time for me to get the coffee percolating and get an English muffin in the toaster.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
