I am going to brag here, because it would be unseemly to brag anywhere else: I got an A+ in my CS class this semester. I actually don't feel like I totally understood the concepts, but I think that may just be that I've hit the point where Dunning-Kruger stops working.

@MightyBigCar I actually think I should offer to do my co-workers', because she lives two doors down and has mentioned that she doesn't think she can do them anymore. But I think I'm guttered out for this weekend.

My gutters are totally clean. I am a champion at adulting!

Tomorrow I will get up on a ladder and clean out my gutters. I am seriously a grownup now.

@sonicbooming I kinda love Firefly, but there are some really messed-up things about it. It's definitely a problematic fave for me. So no judgment here. (I mean, there wouldn't be anyway, but I don't think you're wrong about this one.)

True fact: I would rather just do the whole project myself than do a group project.

I am going to have to adjust to a world where people don't read email.

On the downside, the whole world sucks. On the upside, my new swift and ball-winder just arrived in the mail.

@rhiannonrevolts I grew up in DC. I think I was in college before I realized that you sometimes had to pay to go to museums.

Ever since I moved to "the heartland," I've always kind of hated the lead-up to Christmas. I'm particularly hating it this year. And I'm thinking about saying something to my boss about the not-actually-compulsory-but-actually-pretty-compulsory "holiday" stuff, which would definitely be unwise.

My nephew has discovered MakeHuman. He is now making the most ridiculous character possible.

@selfnoise Honestly, there aren't very many men in the public eye who would shock me.

I will know that I have arrived when reading the documentation clarifies more than it obscures. Who the heck writes that stuff, and who is their intended audience? Aside, I mean, from people with excellent eyesight who enjoy reading really tiny font.

@luckyduck I am procrastinating from it as we speak.

I sometimes conceal my gender online to avoid gender-based bullshit. For instance, I'm a newbie coder, and there's no indication on my GitHub that I'm a woman. I don't want people associating my crap code with my gender, rather than my newbieness. Not sure how this jibes with the need to support trans and non-binary folks by including pronouns!

I got bumped up to first class. Pretty sure everyone is wondering what I’m doing in first class.

Hell week is over!!!! I survived Hell Week!

I am too fucking old to be doing a group project. I am definitely too fucking old to be doing a group project with undergrads who don't want to be in the class.

Sometimes I wonder why I feel bad and then remember that I forgot to eat all day.

I think I may be about to make a coding breakthrough, but right now I'm in the "I am stupid and I hate my life" stage of dealing with a programming problem.
