witnessed one barista fend off two social invitations from clearly Interested regulars in the space of 15 minutes, on of which was to a post-work bar hangout, to which he replied, "yeah i don't work like that". baristas with boundaries

the way people respond to differing manners of non-linguistic communication is always illuminating, and having autism will help reveal a lot. reminded how a mpls politics guy once made a vague "i don't trust people who don't make constant eye contact" post after meeting me that felt v pointed

I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.

did the bus vision survey and maybe i missed it but i wanted an open text field to complain about how i barely use the high frequency bus route in my area because it's always unreliable when i use it (the problem is cars)

the whole rise of LLMs with no sensible boundaries + work transition situation has me wondering how much i really want to stick around working in tech stuff, i mean that will probably be my next job because paying bills is important unfortunately, but a lot of dumb shit is going on and i'm over it

obviously i was going to learn about the php stuff anyway but it amuses me that i first accidentally learned about it through finnish news, the language still continues to be relevant to me somehow after all these years

i'm watching le bureau and the subtitle timing drifts to being pretty ahead by the end of an episode, so i've been tricked into auditory hypervigilance to track who is speaking. bonus: 1/3rd of every other episode is probably in arabic and i can only parse basic noun phrase structure by hearing 🤡
