This is the Way

I’m working with a couple of people on a project where it’s going to be about assisting parents in the company when they have questions. For example, when they are fresh out of parental leave. A platform where parents can exchange information with each other and, if necessary, HR can also provide answers.

But nothing really stands there yet, with the exception of the title: Parents@REHAU.

Okay. So now it’s a matter of defining exactly what we want to achieve with the project and then breaking this down into small packages.

So I’ve distributed a task to my people today. They are to write a sentence that describes exactly what Parents@REHAU stands for. And after that, they are to go into what is at all possible within the scope of the project / narrow time frame.

And why am I writing all this? Because I am incredibly proud of the example I have set for them:

Plants@REHAU: A discussion platform where all plants, from the unloved moss to the ever-popular daisy, can share their watering experiences.

Evening mood (that looks like a comic 🤔).

Anyway. I love the sky reflection in those windows. 📷

I didn’t do it for a long time. This is my current homescreen. It’s nothing special. But maybe to mention, I deactivated all badges with numbers on it. So no more direct stress when watching at my homescreen.

Unfollowing some people on Micro.blog right now. It' s not personal. Are mostly those who have not written anything for months. I am continuing my course of basically cleaning up my life.

Goal: Bundle sources in a healthy way

I just wanted to continue playing Modern Warfare II.

40 GB update is needed.

Turned off the PlayStation…

🎮

When I call our pediatrician, the line is always busy. Getting through is a matter of luck. But getting there without a call and an appointment is almost more impossible. 🙄

I just created this and thought it’s kinda cool. 📷

I thought it’s funny to change my username from Mandalorian to Microlorian. Problem now: Old mentions are f*cked up. And if you want to write me directly with @ you have to know this…

🤔🤯

Is it just me or is Modern Warfare II (2022) unbelievably hard, even on the easiest difficulty? I die all the time in the “Alone” level in Mexico. 🎮

The few really important Twitter channels I follow integrated into Inoreader, so I hardly ever have to open Twitter. Let’s see how that works.

My body has been giving me warning signals for weeks, if not longer. I am under high pressure. I am under permanent stress. This manifests itself in completely different ways. Sometimes my hands tremble, sometimes it just ends completely, then there is complete emptiness and nothing works at all.

They always say that building a house is already too much. Then there are two small children, a very demanding job and the desire to continue to be successful. Then there’s a very sick dad and a lot of other things that I don’t even want to go into.

Body and psyche fail completely.

I notice how the smallest things stress me out. Sweats follow within milliseconds. “Can you quickly put the kids' shoes on?” is already too much.

I look for ways out and I need them quickly.

I’m already deleting things from my smartphone and computer that I don’t really need, reducing push messages. Each of them means minimal stress. I have also turned off all red number badges on the iPhone. Those little numbers stress and demand a click and your attention.

I also really need to start exercising again. I need to get over that initial hurdle again. Once that happens, I’ll know it’s on.

What else can I do?

Just deleted my Glass account. I don’t really use it and/or am not really interested in the tool.

I have no idea how I will continue to shape the theme of photography. Is and remains a hobby for me. Maybe I’ll just stay with Insta.

3 weeks sober. 💪

Plan: No more alcohol.

No, I didn’t drink excessively, but it doesn’t bother not drinking at all.

I have a depressing feeling right now that the situation on Twitter is more important than the situation in Ukraine.

Today my kids, who just argue all day, are driving me crazy.

Hi, my name is Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Pledgeass!

Sweden 🇸🇪 has become one of my favorite countries after my vacation in August. I’m thinking of vacationing there again next year.

The only person you can rely on in life is yourself.

Stayed home extra because the workmen are coming to service the air source heat pump.

They do not come.

They did not come.

Phone call.

Oh dear, we totally screwed that up. I’m totally sorry about that now.
I guess we’ll have to reschedule.

I don’t know how many times now I’ve postponed important appointments (at work) for workmen and then been rescheduled.

Sunday. 🦌

Huge influx at Mastodon. Everyone is talking about finally being off Twitter.

In about 2 weeks everything will be back to normal.

Aha, my little one might have hand-mouth-foot disease. We haven’t had that yet. While the big one was mostly spared, the little one takes just about everything.

That would be crap anyway, we have very expensive circus tickets for tomorrow.

Out for a walk. 🥾

My little one has a pretty high fever and my big one just threw up on dinner. Hmm. It’s going to be a great night.
