It's only 10 AM on the West Coast, and it's already been a day. One of my main work projects had a new issue pop up overnight, which is a problem because they're still doing testing even as we're already making finished products for them. Had they stuck to anything resembling a normal schedule, it could've been avoided.

I think the other thing is there will be a new series or something coming out, and the target audience could be all over the place

I think the issue is over saturation, like remember that there was nothing for like 20 years with the exception of comic books and now it is every six months they have a new Star Wars thing

I haven’t been able to get into any of the Star Wars spinoffs minus Rogue One

I am planning my 20 yr High School Reunion with a bigger group than last time. It's going really well, last night two of the girls and I did a zoom call. We barely talked about the reunion, we all went to elementary school through high school together and it was nice catching up. "Can I be mean for a second" was a common phrase last night, lol.

I do not have Internet at my house and speaking with my provider we learned that due to my schedule and their appointment times I won't have Internet for 48 hours. They are treating this like a big deal, but it has been nice I got some reading done and listened to some music. It feels good to unplug
I found this thing on Amazon called a hot pop and it is a collapsible bowl that makes makes popcorn in the microwave and it is the closest I have ever gotten to at home movie theater level popcorn

Agree on the Hot Pop, work got me something similar as part of a gift and it worked great
Its been a few years, but i used to do a small vacation every year for like 4-5 days and basically turn my phone off and just read or hike or whatever

I mean, if I lost internet for 48 hours I’d be pissed…
If for no other reason that I have to respond to emails every so often for work related issues.

I have a mobile hot spot and I still come into the office, if there is something major I will break out the laptop but I have a rule of trying to avoid work stuff the second my key enters the lock on my house

I have like job field roles I’ve taken on to advance myself in the industry. They’re not work, but they’re work related, and many have to be done in my free time.

That sounds awful, is it like volunteering stuff? I mean if it is for a good cause than that would be alright. Like socializing kittens or something

It’s basically professional development. Developing continuing education for my profession.

u/Benjilikethedog Lander • South Carolina Jun 02 '26
Is it like your passion project though? If it is like a even a small "why" that would make it worth it
1
u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Jun 02 '26
No, it’s about developing my presence in the industry for future job prospects.

u/Benjilikethedog Lander • South Carolina Jun 02 '26
I did some thinking (rare I know) but by any chance are you a professional surfer because if so I would focus on that gnarly stuff too

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Jun 02 '26
lol. No, it’s about trying to network and get more valuable to progress in my field.
