iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

First stock transfer finally worked, after the fourth time. There’s an ampersand in our joint account, and that’s what was causing the issue.

We’ve been invited to an engagement shower (and quasi-reception, as the wedding proper is v. small), but it’s the weekend between Thanksgiving and our trip to Boston for Drosselmeyer. Can I handle three straight weekends of traveling?

Is it really a Saturday morning if your husband hasn’t sighed deeply and reminded you not to do too many illegal things?

two blue text messages:

"Hey, what's a class H felony?"
Mug shot? Mug shot.

Power’s out and, other than the one smoke alarm beeping, I’m kinda enjoying it.

White unexplainable lights in a dark field, which is all I see out my window right now.

This server struck again this morning and it got shut off completely. Too bad!

This team is currently running a Kickstarter for the (lighter in theme / less scary) Doomensions pop-up escape in a box. We played the first one and I really enjoyed it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mys...

Today, I had to explain to Iron Filings that I could not put a check before (operation) that uses the date and time that the operation is completed as part of the calculation for the check.

Knitting at a ball game, as I do. This time it’s a double whammy, since it’s a work social outing that I am absolutely introverting through.

Why have both of my work computers decided that copy and paste are too hard to do?

Jill @yesthatjill.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I’m annoyed that because I had to provide contact details for a conference I’m attending, between that and my new title, my work phones are now subject to a lot of cold sales calls. I am not handling it well.

Our VP response to being locked out of their computer (“why does this rule apply to me?”) is reaffirming my prior poor experiences with them.

I bring value to our relationship.

Him: Do not trip over this when you come back.

There is a lovely spider in it.
Also, burn this glass.

Me: Is that a bug in a water glass

Him: Yes.

… I had thought my “I don’t want to work here anymore” was bad in the first quarter and it’s just getting worse.

@solarfish.bsky.social chef, have you ever butter poached eggs in the microwave?

Huh. Cherry vanilla Skratch? Not sure.

Am I going to do a couple of 1000 piece puzzles without looking at the box top this weekend? YES. Behold my puzzle wealth.

Jill @yesthatjill.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Guess I’ll spend the weekend catching up on all the personal business things I’ve not done. (Stock transfers, reimbursements, fsa status, emails, bills.)

I’ve been invited to another one of these meetings - where the GM, Iron Filings, and myself are supposed to talk about the digital roadmap - two weeks from now.

It is “not fair” that I asked the engineer that made a decision that impacts production to “handle the issues” that happened because of that decision. It’s “not his fault” that his decision, made against my advice, did exactly what I said it was going to do.

Dammit, my sous vide hollandaise recipe was on twitter. Now I gotta figure it out again.

Jill @yesthatjill.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Oh no. It might be that I’m still having hormone swings (not related to new patch day), since the last time I was extra loving was 28 days ago.

A stray comment on the broken circle discord led to finding out that a team has rejuvenated the pebble! It doesn’t track fitness, it’s just a watch with notifications!

This weekend in food: making English muffins for eggs Benedict; pork souvlaki with herbed lemon rice.

I wish there was a skin dye that would tell me if I’ve finally gotten deep enough into the layers to have finally murdered the wart on the side of my knuckle.

Also using Greg’s definitions. Four cross-country trips has done wonders for what I’ve seen.

I’m gleeful that my husband is done studying for his tests and we are in the one our way in the car for a tasty burger, an escape room, and a stroll through H-mart.

I hate the early stages of athletes foot. I ignored the twinge too long and now it’s in the burning stage where the cream isn’t working quite yet.

With the corporate rebrand, we are now putting our new logo on disposable tyvek bunny suits. It doubles the price per suit. They are also limiting the sizes ordered.

At least this time when we turned over the couch and cushions, it wasn’t a jellybean graveyard. Instead, it was a discovery of the center supports of the sofa collapsing towards the ground and a decidedly-nibbled York peppermint patty.

I’ve been walking the fine line between keeping my toenails short enough to not damage my homeknit wool socks and having them long enough to not be ingrown. This means, naturally, that I have a hole to darn in a sock today.

Watched Project Hail Mary with @juliegranite.bsky.social as 🔊 📱 🎥 (speakerphone cinema), which means I’ve spent the last forty five minutes sobbing. Such a good movie.

Every time Bree talks about Black Jewels, I am seized with the desire to read (select chapters) again, like the book version of that fan edit of the Phantom Menace where there is no Jar Jar Binks.

I will not buy from a brand who is trying to market to me, the fat consumer, on a body that doesn’t look anything like mine.

The problem I’ve been yelling about at work for over a year finally impacted another product to the point where the origination group had to actually do a root cause.

Jill @yesthatjill.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

And my transfer was just rejected because I didn’t do it right, so I guess I have to have another run at both.

It is a fine morning to have both (relatively) early-morning roofers fixing storm damage above the en suite bathroom *and* a skylight in the en suite bathroom.

Noodles and Co thinks I live in Cary and keeps sending me coupons.

I’m going to clean out the drawers of my bedside table tomorrow and put together some storage for my ever-growing collection of spares for my various sleep aids. (Eye masks, cpap masks, ear buds …)

Two things said by other people today: “we couldn’t change the process parameters, so we had to actually drill down and find the root cause.”

We had a big enough electricity spike at the house that we probably lunched the TiVo (again), and looks like one of the wifi broadcasters at the back of the house. What other madness awaits us?

I couldn’t figure out why my new employee wasn’t attending his review … until I looked at the meeting and noticed that I hadn’t sent it to him. Have rescheduled.

Jill @yesthatjill.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Have we, a small company, considered that maybe we shouldn’t try to do projects that involve *segregating all that project’s data* and delivering a report on our facility’s susceptibility to airborne attack?

I hate that I’ve been told that to transfer from one brokerage to another that it has to be initiated at the To brokerage … only to find that both my transfers are the exception.

“Have I told you that I love you?” “Is it New Patch Day?” “Oooh, it is. I should track if I love you more on estrogen patch day.”

Our local cybertruck storage parking lot now also has cybercabs. Hooray. I hope they also rot there.
