Oh look. It's December!
Dec. 10th, 2025 05:44 pmThat was fast. Where on earth did the year go?
Well, today has been...a day. I still don't have a new job to head to, but I have met some terribly lovely people during the interview process, so that's nice.
Right now, I'm ordering twice my own considerable bodyweight in chocolate bars. If you saw me, you'd assume it's for personal use, but no. The snack box we put out back in Covid times for the couriers and posties and the like who kept us supplied with...well...everything...has proven to be quite popular. Keeping it stocked can be tricky (like when the latest order went AWOL in the postal system) but its definitely worth it when you hear the little "oooh!" Of delight from a newcomer to the house. Several of the delivery drivers will stop by when they are in the neighbourhood too, since they know the box is here. Can't say I blame them, and no one so far has overstepped. I really dont mind making sure there's a snack and a bottle of water for the poor sod hauling 350 boxes of stuff around the place simply because someone decided they absolutely MUST have 10000 cottonbuds by 1pm tomorrow. I'd like to think someone would do the same for me. I think the whole treat others as you'dlike to be treated thing has a lot going for it. We should promote it over and above the self interest first narrative.
The launch went up finally. Lots of weird delays, the usual nail-biting launch and separation moments and now it's business as usual to get the hardware up and running before yours truly can do the customer service thing again.
I've been making Christmas puddings. Glass ones, of course. I still want a bigger kiln, but first, a new shed.
I'm just waffling again now.
Ooooh. Waffles.
