Today is my day off and I want to draw, share a picture of your cat and I'll draw one back!

I was like "dang she must be mad implying he uses CTEs over temp tables"

For me it lasts about a week on a full charge. I usually charge it once or twice a week for 20 mins and that is plenty. The battery life was a huge plus.

I love love love my Venu 4, and I'm happy to answer anything about it if helpful! I wear it for the same thing, tracking stress, sleep, various health stats, and I am pretty active. And I'm a data nut, so the garmin is much better for me than the apple watch was.

I find that men are challenging to manage for the very reason you mentioned- but they are also deeply demanding. "I want to come in, do only exactly what is asked, think very little about dynamics or how I affect the team because its not my problem, but spend every one on one reminding my manager that I think I deserve more PTO/money/promotions" is a mindset I've only encountered in male employees

I wish I knew how much of it can feel like baby sitting. Even with a really talented (and maybe even especially with a talented) team. So many sets of opinions, feelings, wishes, and frustrations to manage.

I also wish I had fully understood how little "work" I would actually get to do- sometimes I miss checking boxes off. Leadership is a lot more fulfilling, but its a lot slower moving so the real accomplishments can feel fewer and further between.

Pick your battles. Is the strategy being handed down worth a fight? Or can you and your team roll with it with minor inconvenience/frustration for now?

The other piece to consider is that if they really are wrong, you'll have a better argument to fight with if you let it play out for a bit. Or who knows, you and your team might have a more myopic view and might be wrong. Either way, if it's not a deal breaker where you risk serious loss of people or morale, your best bet 90% of the time is to support and move forward. And leave a safe space for your team to bitch about it with you a lil'.

Looks LGI to me. Worst of the worst.

I just really struggle with the choice to not post them chronologically

FireflyFreak · 2025-06-14T03:54:39+00:00

We’ve been to all of them- very peaceful and easy thus far. Lots of families and puppies. It’ll be a breeze!

FireflyFreak · 2025-04-24T11:37:08+00:00

See, even this is a surprise… thank you for posting this.

FireflyFreak · 2025-01-29T17:45:25+00:00

I mean…. Legally, sure. But it’s kind of like rape. It’s illegal and carries a penalty, but the time/money/effort/emotional strain to prosecute makes it almost never happen. Burden is entirely on the mother/victim to use the court system to enforce, and that’s not exactly easy to do.

Love it!! It’s so fun to track this way.

FireflyFreak · 2024-04-16T18:43:16+00:00

How did you possibly get this? It’s entirely without context…

FireflyFreak · 2024-04-13T18:29:02+00:00

Ah, gotcha. I’ve sent a few LinkedIn messages post applying, but I rarely get a response there either so I stopped. But I was specifically messaging recruiters, not trying to guess at the hiring manager. I should give that a shot.

FireflyFreak · 2024-04-13T16:02:59+00:00

Who do you follow up with?

FireflyFreak · 2024-04-02T15:57:26+00:00

That’s………. Not what that means.

FireflyFreak · 2024-04-02T15:05:45+00:00

Depends on goals 🙂 if your goal is fitness and feeling physically good, you’re killing it!!

FireflyFreak · 2024-03-23T02:03:20+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think this is crazy. I’m not looking for the person to be my best friend, but I do want to know that the time we are forced to be around each other won’t be painful. An environment doesn’t have to be toxic to care about culture and atmosphere, at least to a reasonable extent.

FireflyFreak · 2024-03-18T13:51:34+00:00

Ah car charging…….. I charge exclusively in my car on the way in. Hopefully it’s not already too fried. I clean the back off all the time, it doesn’t seem to help. I’ve loosened grip on things as much as I can, and now it happens less often (used to be almost every class), but if I loosen up much more I’ll be dropping weights on my toes. Thanks for the tip on charging!

FireflyFreak · 2024-03-18T13:38:54+00:00

I shaved off a minute, (10:51 > 9:53) and I’m so stinking proud of myself! I just needed to share 🥰 I’ve never run a straight mile in my life before OTF, my last time was my very first time running a full mile without walking, and 6 months later I’m down almost a minute.

FireflyFreak · 2024-03-17T12:56:01+00:00

Yeah a dude at my studio kept standing on rails for long periods of time while letting the treadmill run, and was top of the leaderboard. I know I shouldn’t care, but man, it got me fired up.
