Weekly Wrap Up (2026.06.27)

It's been an eventful few weeks. Mostly because of new work activities traveling some. Funny story, without too much detail. A coworker retired, so I am covering a second location. I met with my coworker before he left, for a refresher on where things were at the site. I got there a week later, without him, and had the dumbest problem. I could not figure out how to turn on the lights. In my normal location, everything is motion activated, at this location it's not. And when I met with him, the lights were on, so I didn't even think…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.06.13)

Oh look, slacka lackin again. It's not even been that boring, just kind of uneventful. I've also had this vague annoaynce at the idea of AI slurping up all my dumb blog posts and using that data to make more dumb blog posts for others. Maybe I should stop trying to fix my typos to screw with it. Oh geeze, it's been 3 weeks, I thought it was just two. I've got a new temporary work thing going on which should liven things up on the work front. Basically, i get to cover another office once every week or two,…

Mayllennial – Cereal Box Prizes

Kids these days (shakes fist) don't know how much better it used to be with cereal, we got prizes, PRIZES! TOYS! Not some cracker jack nonsense… well, it kind of was the same idea, but it was better. Also for the unaware yoots, Crack Jack used to give prizes in their little boxes of caramel popcorn. Hell they may still, I don't eat Crack Jack, my wife is allergic to nuts, plus I can buy a whole bag of caramel corn for way cheaper. But no prizes. Also, the cereal prizes back then probably were not actually good. I remember…

Weekly Wrap Up (2026.05.23)

Its been another mostly slow boring week. Summers coming soon though, which means the occasional part concert or other activities in the community at least. Next week is the first game for the new local baseball team. I am not super into baseball, but I kind of want to go to the first game. Maybe more will happen. Video Games I have almoat finished the Droid-dex in Fortnite's Droid Tycoon game. I just need a Raindbow R7. If I want to "max out" my base I need like a dozen of them. The R7 is the top slot droid for…

#Mayllennial – Toy Craze

Ironically, perhaps, I am not real sure what this prompt is asking for, but also, I have a huge toy collection and am pretty well suited to ramble on about toys, in general. So I am mostly just going to do that. Its not even going to be the first time I have written about collecting specifically. Plus I write about it all the time on this blog. Its one of the two core focuses. The short is, I started buying toys as a hobby in High School when I started working and had money to buy things. I have…

#Mayllennial – Doomscrolling

I think I have gotten worse about it more recently, but despite that I will admit that I am hopelessly addicted to the internet and computer use, I feel like I generally do not "Doomscroll". Doomscrolling kind of feels like it has connotations of negativity. Like you are scrolling looking for negative. Or just scrolling like you would gawk at a car wreck. Its admittedly hard to not get caught up in it these days. There is so so much bull shit these days. On the other hand, I try to put purpose to my online activity. Even with social…

#Mayllennial – Playing Outside

You sometimes hear older people complaining about how kids are not outside enough, and how parents are too helicopter parenting and all that. And while there are benefits to keeping track of your kids more, its also very clear where this comes from, because a lot of the stereotypes about kids running all over are pretty accurate. They say the TV would ask "Do you know where your children are" to get parents to remember to check on their kids. Its definitely true. When I was young, my friends and I definitely just sort of, wandered all over. We had…
