Scientist here, a lot of my job is writing texts with references to other literature of the field, or reviewing such texts (or PowerPoints). Main screen has the document open, the other is actually in portrait format and has gazillions of open pdfs on it that are relevant to whatever I’m working on. I had to get this setup for working from home because productivity dropped immensely with only one screen.

This so much. I have a three days a week home Office deal, and I did Not, We, Fr for some time and it sucked. Monday I just could not find a proper start for the workday, which in the end translated to doing more work in the evening. Same on fridays, where I just did not find a proper cut to end the work day. So bad it even went into Saturday mornings. Now I do Tu-Th as home Office days, which works amazingly.

I’m pretty sure my Dad’s cat is really a glutton.

I am thoroughly confused, isn’t “Dudette” a term that’s used for female Dudes? Or “her Dudeness” if you aren’t into that whole brevity thing.

To be really inclusive, I would also use the term for female dogs, like, “Hey, dogs and…”. Yeah, no,.sorry, I’ll show myself out.

Put a smile to my face to see so many cats (and dogs) involved.

When I get up and do my morning business on the toilet, the cat comes and rolls around on the bath mat in front of my ear scratches and cuddles included. Turning on the bidet (yes, hidden flex) is the audible clue that business is concluded, he gets up, wait patiently in the door frame while I start brushing my teeth. I then walk downstairs (while brushing my teeth), cat as added tripping hazard on every step. He again waits patiently while I start the coffee maker, and only when I open the door of the cat food and treats cabinet, he starts being agitated until I put food in the bowl and put it down for him. And then there’s always this glance back, blinking before he digs in, and this very moment is my treasure for the day.

Fenster am Haus ausgetauscht, inkl neuer Rolläden. Firma hat diese Bürsten am Schlitz vergessen, “oh, ja kommen wir wieder”. Bis zum Sommer nix passiert. Am rechten Fenster geht eine doch Recht grosse Wespe ein und aus. Most, wird wohl ein nest. Linkes Fenster zwei Wochen später wird von einer Hornisse regelmässig besucht. Hornisse auch Dauergast rechten Fenster. Wespe taucht nicht mehr auf. Horni darf bleiben. Im Sommer immer Mal wieder Hornissenflug über uns, aber immer direkt weiter. Keinerlei Wespen. Im Juli bei 35 Grad Pflaumenkuchen draussen stehen lassen . Keine Wespen. Hoffe sehr, dass horni nächstes Jahr zurück kommt, hab aber auch gelesen, dass Hornissennester einjährig sind.

Theranos sounded like a superhero villain. I guess it kind of was?
