@viciousviscosity I want a pom-pom emoji so I can cheer for you but I don’t have them, so you’ll just have to imagine me in a cheerleader skirt, chanting catchy things 😁
@zigg
It's 2019 and we don't have pom-pom or cymbal emojis…
Thank you for your encouragement and enthusiasm. 😄
I imagine a whole cheer section of just you. 😁
@viciousviscosity sadly, due to the Law of Conservation of Wednesdays, i slept awfully, i'm an hour late to work, and definitely going to have a granola bar for brunch as a result. 
but i'll find a way to turn it around yet.
@lifning
Oof, that's a rough start - may your day steadily improve and let it end on a lighter note. 🎵
@viciousviscosity I got myself a new writing assignment from the freelancing gig I like, and an interview about a less soul-sucking job
the anxiety-inducing news is, the interview is in five hours
@DialMforMara
Congrats on both counts!
Hope you enjoy the heck out of the new writing assignment.
I understand the anxiety of interviews. Is it anxiety over anything in particular, or a more general interview kinda feel?
@viciousviscosity It's mostly general interview anxiety, though it's not a kind of interview I've done before.
@DialMforMara
What's different about this interview? I've only ever had the sit down and talk face to face kind.
@viciousviscosity
1. It's face to face, and I've been doing a lot of phone interviews lately
2. I know I can do the work, and they know they want me to do the work; the point of the interview is to figure out what they'll be able to give me to do it.
I get the sense that they want a part-time outside person to do their documentation; what I want is a path of advancement to Actual Job doing their documentation.
@DialMforMara
Gotcha. 🤞 Hoping you're able to get the full-time documentation writing gig. Also with less soul crushing happening. ♥️
@viciousviscosity I presented about Mycroft.AI for my local users group on short notice (found out on Sunday evening that it was needed, and worked on the slides on Tuesday morning).
@craigmaloney
Nice, turned that around quickly! Well done!
@craigmaloney @viciousviscosity Are the slides available somewhere? I'm curious about the #Mycroft project, but it's hard to tell if it's vaporware or not.
@mpjgregoire @viciousviscosity The slides really don't cover most of the talk. I'll publish the talk video when it comes online.
@craigmaloney @viciousviscosity That would be very interesting. Could you please try to remember to send me a link?
@viciousviscosity ran an errand I've been dreading, met with a dear friend and am slowly getting on top of my errands...
@verityvirtue
That's great! Good to put things behind us, mark them off our checklist and not have to think about them any longer.
Friends make life more enjoyable - dear friends doubly so!
May your trend of getting on top of all the running about continue! 😄

I'm on fire, somehow 
@thraeryn
You are rocking your day!
And being on fire is very Red 😄
Nicely done!
@viciousviscosity I worked from home today, no interruptions. As close to bliss as I get these days.
@wim_v12e
Gosh I totally understand that - constant interruption is maddening! Glad you had some interruption free time today!
@viciousviscosity #WinsDay Mercalli fetched the tennis ball 7 times in a row!
This might not seem like a big achievement, but The Fetch is not strong in this one (nor is it strong in Bernese in general). So 7 fetches in a row is a major learning achievement. And it might have gone longer if the treats hadn't run out.
My #WinsDay consists of getting proper amounts of sleep, waking up at a reasonable time to prep for the day, eating healthy meals and not skipping any.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with it. ☺️
