I don’t know if I’ve really had a moments' rest since my move last week and then there’s the packing/prep week before that. Next week could be the same as this week because unpacking and work schedules will continue. Woo, I’m tired. 😮💨
@kyle I hear ya on both fronts! yeah, I’ve done a lot of exchange work globally and I got tired of meeting people, clicking, and then never seeing them again. Being part of the work was ok, but ultimately, I didn’t derive much purpose from it.
@33MHz@heluecht and I say this as a private owner of a scooter watching all manner of nonsense when it comes to parking and riding safely in an urban environment. It’s unsettling.
@heluecht@33MHz To be fair, the scooter rental market invaded the public infrastructure rather quickly and without much, if any, oversight and now what we have is a mess of micro mobility machines that may interfere with pedestrian and bike safety.
@heluecht@33MHz Sad. Understandably, people think scooter rentals are laissez faire platforms so they just ride and park wherever they like. But then I keep seeing statistics going up around scooter injuries and deaths that are likely preventable.
@heluecht@33MHz I’ve seen scooters knocked over in the street and bike lane alike. It’s strange because designated scooter parking is explained upon starting an account with any major platform.

@kyle There’s a rhythm to moving somewhere else that’s not in your social circle that looks intimidating, but having done it at least a half dozen times over the last few decades, you get the hang of it. You may also find you relish the anonymity!
@33MHz me too! Which is why in this new place, my plan is to stick them indirectly outside the patio window and feed them golden rays. My diffenbachia hates me and is dropping leaves under a grow light so I want to see if actual sun revives it.
@habanero a huge obstacle cleared at work. What a relief! Now the next hurdle is getting into this new property and settling in for a long spell. Hope to hear good news from the compliance specialist within a day or two. 🤞🏼
At some point in the past, punctuation became a fad. I say this because a lot of my younger peers (some not by much!) write stream of thought, wall of text emails & text messages. Makes my eyes bleed and my brain throb. How am I supposed to decode?
