YAY, IT unblocked my password manager extension and I HAVE ALL OF THE PASSWORDS BACK 🥳🥳🥳

Yeah, I'd be fine with access to a password manager that they pay for that's just for work stuff. Tbh right now that would be pretty great.

But yeah, I talked to some colleagues yesterday, and learned that their password systems are... Let's say not great 😅

We have a SSO for a bunch of work apps, but that doesn't help me with outside vendor account portals

It's not clear why IT blocked this*, but they allowed it for me before, so I'm hoping they'll fix it

(*They've also blocked Dropbox, Google Drive and, for a while, the use of all USB flash drives)

I mean there are also plenty of days where I come home and do absolutely nothing. So I probably need to find something between that and *DO ALL OF THE THINGS RIGHT NOW* 😅💛

I try to do all of the things, but ngl keeping on top of it all is *hard* some/a lot of days

Really hoping I actually get to work from home a lot this summer so I can find balance between work things that have to get done, personal things that have to get done, and things I *want* to do

Eesh, keep safe!

😂

💛

Yeah, that sounds reasonable.

Maybe it's not so bad to focus on small daily wins and accomplishments when you need to. It's definitely better than dwelling on things you haven't done/need to do, at least 🤷

(I already have roasted chicken and brown rice cubes in the freezer)

So I guess, for now, I will begrudgingly accept that I did good and was very productive today, and I have a bunch of easy lunches to show for it 😅

(3/3)

Tonight's dinner was leftovers (from pasta I made yesterday)...

But I did also roast huge sheet pans full of garlic balsamic broccoli, and smoked paprika & ancho chili sweet potatoes, as well as some red peppers that I used for romesco sauce

All are now freezing in cubes for tetris lunches

(2/3)

I told my therapist that I've been overwhelmed and struggling with motivation to do much of anything recently

She assured me that, if I'm still regularly cooking dinner for myself (I am; she knows that I enjoy cooking), I am doing better than I'm giving myself credit for

(1/3)

And the hits just keep coming!

ITS has apparently disabled my password manager, which will make logging into any of the dozens of vendor sites I use regularly SUPER fun

I think this week needs to be cancelled, maybe try again after another full weekend...

Truly a banner start to the week 😅

Stealing honey mustard dipping sauce from the cafeteria condiment pumps because I forgot to bring dressing for my salad

At least my office is 69°F now (nice)

At the very least, I feel like I'm part of some kind of psychological experiment, maybe looking at how office temperature affects stress and productivity 😒

In the ongoing saga of uncomfortable office temperatures, today we're at 66°F (about 19°C)

I should have brought a heavier sweater, but I'm used to it being 83°F (about 28°C) in here, so

The side of the container, labeled as Merkts maple bourbon cheese spread

Answer: it's maple bourbon white cheddar cheese spread

It is weird, but good! 🥞🥃🧀

Looking down into a freshly opened tub containing a creamy white substance swirled with a caramel-colored substance

Is it ice cream, or is it cheese?

This drawing is teaching me that backlit water bottles are a real pain in the ass to draw.

And also that musicians tend to have a LOT of them on stage.

Is there a flat surface? Water bottles!

The stories are SO good and informative 💛

I love this game so much, I'm happy to see others playing it! 😊😊

Of COURSE the sun came out as soon as I put on warm, dry clothes and @pseudochamp.bsky.social made Aperol spritzes

But sunshine and a yummy drink go well with music and drawing, so we're rolling with it

Well, we tried. Hail had other plans.

We did get the second raised bed assembled, but still needs a lot of work getting leveled.

🤷

Time to do more muddy garden work, woo!

If you see this, quote with a pic of you in glasses

This was a challenge. I have lots of pics of me with safety glasses or sunglasses, but not many with regular glasses 🤓

Super tired, hoping to sleep past 2am this time... 🤞🫩

Made some progress... Actually starting to get close to finishing this one and, tbh, I will take any Ws I can get this year
