If we're doing music, here's a fun song I found a while ago:

Smugly Ugly - New Car

They fall into the horny metal genre to me, right next to Deftones. I think it's all in the vocals

My illustrated edition of the Hobbit did turn up and my god, I can't believe I got so much book for $16. It's got gold on the cloth bound hardcover, it's nice and thick with glossy paper stock, and it's full of drawings.

Independent book stores could sell this for $36, saying it's marked down from $70 and they'd move so many units.

I woke up this morning realising I only set my earlier alarm for the usual days I'd be in the office. I got ready as quickly as possible and jumped on the bike to the station because I wouldn't make the bus. I got there the same time as the bus and still made it to the office by 8

Exactly. It feels good knowing I'm back in work I like doing, whilst my old workplace is mildly inconvenienced by dealing with this massive platform no one knows how to use whilst they look for someone else.

I just did a ticket at the new job and this is it. This is the sort of work I've been missing for the last couple of years. I don't know if it's because I was working with clunky software or what, but I just didn't enjoy my last couple of roles.

This should have the same issues of finiky work that requires high attention to detail, but there's something about this where I can get into a workflow to just get the work done and check it as well.

I'm not diagnosed with anything but it's like this work tickles a part of my brain the way factorio or one of those games does for some people

Are they small business owners? My most charitable take would be they can see what's of economic benefit to them because everything else about Trump's platform wouldn't directly affect them

❤️❤️❤️

World news aside, I've finished my first day at the new job. I think I need to get past induction and do some actual work, and start working from home, before I can decide if this was the right choice.

I think it will be. I need to remember how shit my old work was, even before things for really bad. Once I get started I won't wish I got things right in the old role, because even when things were working, they were just barely, and things were still shit

It really is a pizza night tonight

The way state elections have been going it night just happen

I've finally started at the new job. Let me know if you're having trouble with your employer, I can send them an email that should scare them into shape.

I'm working for the sort of government department departments wouldn't want to hear from, as long as they don't dig too deep and look at my job title
