new day, not-so-new-but-a-bit-better me
Been a while. Like a while while.
Life is good. Turns out my penchant for fast research and instant results means that companies find me very useful to them. I’ve been promoted, then promoted again, then given another raise, all in four months.
God has blessed. I think decisions made last September were the right ones, although it is still, and will remain, a bit of a hole. It is strange how you can have such a strong relationship with someone and then have to cut them off — in spite of them, but because of others — and yet the part of you attached to them never really goes away, it just shrinks.
The New One is just about the best thing that’s ever happened to me. She’s fantastic. I do worry that she might not have enough life experience yet. It also makes me nervous when I think I’ve done something wrong — she just lets it slide. Is that good? Is that bad?
I’m used to having to work my heart out trying to read those I care most about, and while that works on her it’s almost… not as necessary? I think it is. She doesn’t. How much analysis do we need?
Been reading so much.
AI boom has happened between last post and this one. Like, big AI boom. It was amazing to be in the thick of it. I got to ride the wave along with a small minority of people. Cutting edge is so exciting. It feels like nobody else seems to realize what’s coming.
Recently used some of my new job-money to subscribe to Stratechery. It’s great. My man can write so incredibly well. Just fanTASTIC analysis.
OH OH! This Friday. PRE ORDERS WAHOOO for the DUWOOAAAHHH. (Think I might call it that. ‘Phone Duwoahh’?)
Let’s see what future me thinks. Here’s to hoping I get that pre-order in on time.
Thanks, for a bit.
