Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Helped an extremely high gentleman find his phone laying in the middle of the Wood Dale Metra commuter lot. He has since dropped his phone 3 times. Guess it's my job to make sure 1. He doesn't accidentally step in front of the train. 2. Takes his phone with him. 160

Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I've successfully negotiated someone else's dream office for myself in the new location. Negotiations happened with zero input from me just the two companies fighting over who I end up sitting next to. I'm also getting a 5 figure raise once I finally move. (2ish weeks) 040

Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 05/08/20262.5 weeks worth of AP entries in 2 hours. I'm working miracles out here and yet still behind. New clerk starts on Monday though so we're almost there. 000

Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Knocked out 2 weeks worth of AP entries in 2 hours damn I'm good 000
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Our biggest customer asked our sales director for new promise dates on a few part numbers. Everyone in production control/planning was out at a wake for our coworker's wife so I was free to come up with dates without their usual waffling. Customer asks director how confident he is in the dates 1/2 100
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 15/07/2026My first screwup under new ownership was taking out the bulbs in an overhead light whilst operating the forklift. In my defense my spotter told me to lift the forks higher lol 010
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Successfully whittled down a 120,000 line data set to just the 1,300 ish that met all of my conditions and it took me under an hour to figure out how to do it 020

Reposted by Nova999999Chicago, Bike Grid Now! @bikegridnow.org · 10/07/2026One of our marshals had their bike stolen at Leavitt/Cermak today. The bike says "scourer" and has cork handles; it's one of a kind. They have a small reward if you find it or the kindness of your heart will do. Throw a lock on it + get in touch with us somehow and we'll get it back to them. 03012
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 10/07/2026If we pretend I'm working 40 hours a week my hourly rate is now higher than my OT rate was last year which is wild to think about. 150
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Remembered to cancel my membership before I got charged for another year I'm getting better at this whole being an adult thing lol 050
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 07/07/2026That was the greatest hatewatch of my life. Even better than watching Brazil lose 7-1. All that just to get humiliated by Belgium's B team. 020
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 06/07/2026In a bit of incredibly bad luck for me they are requiring R-W to show up in person today so I drew the short-end of the standby juror stick 230
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Work update: I'm getting fucked in positions I didn't know existed. 020
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Well he's been dead since 2020 so no wonder you're not getting paid. 000
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Curaçao scored as soon as I turned on the game you're welcome everybody. 030
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I am not one of those idiot leftists who start spouting about jury nullification because they're too lazy to do their civic and moral duty. Not getting selected accomplishes nothing. Getting selected means you have the chance to help make sure the defendant is treated fairly. 040
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 10/06/2026No fewer than 4 of my siblings have texted me to let me know a jury summons arrived in the mail for me. It was a good 10 year run without. 140

Reposted by Nova999999Chicago, Bike Grid Now! @bikegridnow.org · 09/06/2026Thank you so much for coming out to our Jam and eie-in last night. It warms our hearts to see our community together. Please give it up for our BGN marshals, @femnthembikechi.bsky.social, @chicagobikesox.com for keeping us safe and moving. All photos by @viktorkoves.com 1496
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 09/06/2026The hardest people to marshal tonight were the fucking cops. A few were alright but so many just plain disrespectful. They clearly despise this city and the people in it. 26111
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Hate that there was a reason for it to happen but love seeing the #bikeChi come together like it did tonight. So many people we stretched across at least 8 blocks while riding. And the amount of marshals we had between @bikegridnow.org and @femnthembikechi.bsky.social So many amazing people. 1/2 2451
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Tomorrow I get to interview two candidates for somebody else's department this should be interesting. 110
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 22/05/2026One of the best things about bikes is just how consistent travel times are. Adjusted my route slightly on the return trip so the time was shorter but same average speed. Even though there was more traffic made no difference to me because I'm not one of the dumbfucks in a car. 050
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 20/05/2026This accounting shit is easy. Only missed 1 thing for each of our two bank accounts closing the 1st quarter and it took me less than 10 minutes to find both. It might get harder once I'm not doing every single entry because who's going to be perfect like me but we'll see. 010
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Another nearly 15 hour day but I got another cash bonus and I got to fool around with the forklift so it ain't all bad. Really cementing my reputation as the makes things happen guy. 010
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 18/05/2026My first hire is up and running beautifully only had to show him a couple of things. Big W. 050

Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Accidentally became important at work and now I'm being told I'm going to be VP within the next few years. 060
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 01/05/2026I don't sport bet because 1. It's dumb 2. I don't have money I don't need like that But... my boss does and I'm killing it so far on telling him what to go with. My latest puck knowledge masterclass was telling him to pick the Ducks to win their series halfway through Game 2 000
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Learned today that my sister who is a high school teacher uses me an example of how you can be pretty successful without necessarily getting a degree. Which of course feels cool but idk that I'm an example that's particularly applicable to even the average AP student. 040
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 28/04/2026One of my sisters is running a quitter's (half) marathon in June so she's asking me about gels amd fueling and such 020

Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Given ny new financial situation I'm feeling a lot more confident about being able to move to the city next year. The state of the market was pretty scary(so let's build ffs) 050
Nova999999 @nova999999.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Just got another raise on top of what I already got when I signed on. So in total my salary has gone up 31.41% since October, my 401k match has doubled, my insurance is 40% cheaper premium wise and 9x cheaper on the deductible. And I'm in line for a bunch of bonuses and profit sharing eventually 1/2 140
