Fairy tree, stevens reserve (vermont)

During covid, i contributed this tiny furniture. Today i see this art project (fair treehouse) has started to make money (2 x $1). It's now officially a wishing tree

8:15 AM

Rise & Grind for breakfast, chili scramble*

N cancelled sadly, i decided to walk here anyway

New owners have improved the look: 

• no more yellow

• new wood-look tables

• no more totoro decal on the wall

• new menu

• new artisan coffee brand.... delicious!

• they've added astro-turf out the back.

*Ordering this means i won't get to work on time

8:45 AM

Walking back to the laptop. Happily i can login to my customer's Microsoft Teams (and customer's email inbox) from my phone, to check that nothing urgent has popped up 

My employer took away my ability to check my primary work email inbox (for security reasons) so i can't check that.... but i can login to Slack

5 PM

I worked thru without a lunch break, so i closed the laptop approx 4:30pm. I didn't really get done what i wanted to do today, but i did help out the project manager by answering his series of questions in the morning & again in the afternoon

ANDROID (Pixel 8a) — security patch applied

Finally, 100% of my phone icons are monochrome. It used to only work for the "famous" apps. The lesser known apps icons were still in colour, which used to bug me

8:30 - 10:30 PM

Played soldat, zombie maps with 1 to 9 on the human team
