I went through this Journey after hearing about North Adams from two unconnected friends. Soaring optimism, then I read about their schools (standardized testing is BS, but I gotta admit if a place is consistently tanking, something's probably up, and news articles confirmed it) and COVID numbers.Comments
If you don’t have kids, it looks like a great place to live with an active art community, though! -
The guy dressed up as Mario for Character Day at school. A dozen or so bigger kids that we passed on the way to school all said “It’s-a him, Mario!” The crossing guard and his teacher from last year also cheered.Comments
He had no idea what to do about the attention. -

- Dropped off, picked up, dropped off.Comments
- Had an email chat with a former coworker that moved to western Massachussetts, and much further than I thought, at that.
- Researched more places.
- Client B work.
- Client C work.
- Made some rice.
- Started sous viding the ribs.
I did not get back to my projects.
Looking back at this month, it's been heavy on client stuff (necessarily because the new client project is actually good, so I really need to make sure that succeeds), relocation research, and vacation procurement, and very light on the creative work. I do feel that settling a lot of this will make space for that, both in terms of freeing up time literally and freeing me from worry. -
36 hours of sous viding has begun.Comments

I looked at the satellite view of this enormous estate we pass every day. Looks like it has a roof deck and some kind of glass atrium and a yard that is a small forest.Comments

Congratulations on your fake promotion!Comments
I remember way back in the early '00s being asked to work on a really important project important to the company's relationship with Microsoft on a special small team with the software architect. I'd have to come in on Saturdays, but they wouldn't ask me to do it if they didn't trust me to do it. They sent an email announcing it, like I had won an award.
Reader, I did it, and it started me on the Road to Burnout. -
Here's a cursed sequence:Comments
- Search your email and your old email for the email of a person you used to work with.
- Find out you either never emailed them outside of work or deleted the emails for some dumb reason.
- Open a private window and log on to LinkedIn to "connect".
- Feel resentment, shame. -

I was recalling ten or so years ago when war metal was big, and people online were saying that things “were krieg.” e.g. “Touring ist krieg.”Comments
I think “War Ist Krieg” would have made for a good slogan/song title/shirt. -
- Talked to a real estate agent.Comments
- Client C work.
- I cancelled the earlier place I rented because new information lead me to believe the guy would be super bored there. So, looked through more places to rent out for spring break, and I found one. It literally took 1.5 hours. I'm extremely bad at setting up family vacations and wish I didn't have to do it.
- Talked to a principal.
- Client B work.
- Uploaded more stuff for our accountant.
- Made dinner. -

Ever think about how weird English text might look to people that don't know it? I looked through this text and was like, whoa. I also listened to the interview because why not, it's good to only understand 1% of the words sometimes.Comments

Woke up with the Contra music in my head an hour ago.Comments
It’s still there. -
- Paid the cat sitter.Comments
- Developmental eval meeting. There, we got a diagnosis that accurately describes what the guy does, but wasn't like, "He's on the autism spectrum so you can just do this with these resources!" And the diagnosis requires us to just do the same things we've been doing.
- Client C work.
- Made tomorrow's beans today.
- Took pictures of the apartment for a real estate assessment. Had to move a bunch of stuff.
- Did some laundry.
- Uploaded tax stuff.
- Took the guy to social class, where he got 25 points? Unsure what that meant, but he was into it. Also, before class started, he was doing homework and another kid asked if she could watch. So, he did homework, while the other kid provided occasional commentary. They seemed to enjoy this.
- Went to the electronic music group. We've turned into a half chat, half coworking session, which is working well so far. I got my new web audio piece to start playing. It's started for real now!
