thepnutgalleryI saw at the last minute that I'd accidentally scheduled the teaching session at the same time as my Mode interview. I rescheduled the teaching session, and the guy doing my Mode interview was the same guy that gave me tech support. It really came across that they're a small company and trying to essentially profit-share. Someone is always going to be selling your data. Go with us and we'll cut you in on the action. I'm gonna be a fanboy. They've gotta get back to me with a few details, but I figure I'll just give everyone back the $10 their referral gets me. Bonus, it stays in keeping with that theme, and you know how much I love a theme. I also sent them the video of my phone being wonky.
I fucked up my Zoom settings, so it ended up playing both on my home desktop and my remote connection. It honestly was pretty fascinating to hear myself. When I get excited, the burner turns up and I start *really* flaming. But anxiously trying to run through the whole loop of functions at ADI? Low flame. No one's going to confuse me for a heterosexual, but I seemed.... calmer. I mean, I'd also been smoking, but that can't be everything, right? Freida said it was really helpful, and the things she noted reminded me that I'm insane. I didn't know how much she knew, and I kept worrying that I was boring her or going too in-depth. I scheduled Sinai's for tomorrow, and I think I'll do better. I also had a bitch of a time keeping on top of my workload. I managed, but I agreed to handle eservice for Din tomorrow. It'll be close.
I meant to look up port forward directions, write some, or any number of other projects, but I just journaled, drank tea, and eventually hopped over to the store. I was running out of creamer and wanted to figure out what to do about Saturday. I didn't want to enforce sobriety on those around me but also didn't want to risk Christmas again. Settled on buying a decoy bottle of wine for me to drink before Saturday and a bottle of Port since Tim likes that. I still forgot to buy pens, though. I had a glass when I got home, but felt more tired than wishing for oblivion.
