It's been a week. I am tired. I cannot think anymore.

A year of intense development, mostly just me, and today, it ALL came together with all of the pieces and parts and packaging.

It's not DONE, but it's a real thing now.

Think I've earned my evening.

@puniko I travelled 1st class on most days I went in to ZH because the day upgrade was 8.80 and it was at most 2x/week (COVID reasons plus too much rush hour input). But if I go in every day, which seems to be happening, I might as well upgrade.

Just don't wanna commit yet

@puniko yeah

@puniko yeah :( I wouldn't buy it unless I was living on a train

@puniko BUT!

@puniko I have a 2nd class (year) GA - you can upgrade it completely or for a month. I figured I'd try it

@puniko yup

Upgraded my GA for the month, as I seem to be going in every day now.

I HAVE CRACKED, PEOPLE.

Caught train to new office at last second.

Did NOT see I'd chosen a connection with five transfers.

VERY NO.

@rysiek I think what folks vastly underestimate is what a bloody challenge it is to be foreign somewhere. Even with money and privilege.

@rysiek This.

In Germany, one of my good friends is from Tanzania, and we find it darkly amusing that in conversations, she refers to herself as an expat, and I call myself an immigrant. For exactly the same reason. Watching people choke as their expectations are messed with can be amusing, when not infuriating.

"I didn't mean *your* kind of immigrant"

"Yes you fucking did."

@onepict @rysiek exactly. It's just gross.

@AnarchoNinaWrites the person I knew prepandemic who was loudest about saving Nazis (and he liked to pretend he was a huge antifascist - it never rang true honestly) has in fact become one now. So you are not wrong.

@rysiek ah, boo, wish I'd seen this last night - I think we share an acquaintance through Neal of Sequoia fame :)

The eternal choice - take my very-portable-but-it's-windows tablet. or drag the heavy-duty workhorse laptop running Arch.

I know it's gonna be the latter. I also know my back is gonna be *pissed*.

Cooking a very nice piece of lamb in the air fryer, just for me. Merry Christmas, me!

@puniko Oh, Puni. You have missed out.

I am not even sure where to start.

@puniko Hehehe I could be Chuck Tingle, but for nation-states instead of inanimate objects XD

@puniko Laugh... yes, I got down on bended knee in front of Justin Trudeau and, I dunno, the Canadian parliament, and they jilted me at the altar!

(sorry, Puni brain <3)
