JPS Visual Week In Review ~ 01.27.24
This week was filled with minor annoyances and frustrations.
I cracked my phone screen (not horrible, still usable, but imperfect again)
My job changes different security settings on our system, so I can’t access even some “regular” websites on my work laptop, including my personal email and some filesharing sites. This may be common with many companies, but I’ve been immune to this for a number of years. And while I get it from tech/IT safety side…it’s just makes my life a little less seamless.
On the flip side, as I jumped onto a Zoom call at work, I noticed a name on there of someone I worked on a big project with (same company) about 14 years ago. It was great to catch up with her again and see our paths cross once again. The catch-up continued on a Teams chat after the work call. Found out we now both live in the same town and those little babies we were aligned with 14 years ago are now teenagers!!
And, we had three nights of foggy day and nights, making me feel like I was existing in a Dashiell Hammett/Sam Spade story, which dovetailed nicely into one of my “What I Watched” selections, below.
So, you take the good with the bad and that’s life.
