イワーです。🇸🇬 シンガポールに住んでいます。 よろしくお願いします。 Mama to musuko 🍉 and cat slave to 2 elderly cats.
Formerly solsetur@mastodon.social (9 Nov 2022 - 26 Jun 2025)
Finally managed to sleep, though my watch claims it is not restorative.
My boss just used the word artifacts. Last time I saw this was in a game.
Had dinner with the family then now shower, and back to mad scramble to finish a work request.
I have been seeing some people conflicted about the narrator of Careless People. Yes, she definitely has blame. No, she is not a very good writer (lol).
It is great because it shows how horrible Facebook/Meta management is. They are all rot. So no, don’t expect any heros to surface in that book.
Some interesting #signs

I got here early at the gate and am waiting for them to close ticket sales so that I can find out if they will let me fly an hour earlier home.
Also. I am tired. I refuse to work in an airport. (Already took a call just now so that counts as “work” right??)
Me: wakes up early to clear backlog
Boss: can you fill up yet another random slide deck for the demigods of our organisation
Screaming (and I bought but have not finished the last game)

Musuko is sick (on top of a stuffy nose and coughing, he had a bad nosebleed this morning) so stayed home from school.
Refused to talk to me just now when I called him after my meetings were over.

Waiting in the hotel lobby for colleague to pick me up at 5.35am fun
RE: @luciedigitalni@aus.social
Careless People is really an excellent book. I highly recommend it.
This is a cold souless hotel. It says it is The Luxury or something but I am not impressed.
So after finishing 逐玉 (Pursuit of Jade seems to be the common translated title for this Cdrama) I found the ebook (could not get my hands on the library hardcopies before travelling) and it is kind of interesting to compare the differences.
And yes, the webnovel was originally titled 侯夫人与杀猪刀 which I feel is more apt. Less gravitas and poetic I guess.
Husband says musuko has gone straight for the switch the moment they got home after dropping me off wt the airport. Gonna be a fun week
Talking about not showering… there’s this neighbour on the 10th floor and we ALWAYS know when he’s recently been in the lift.
SHOWER IN THE MORNING I DON’T FLOCKEN THINK YOUR AIRCON HAS CLEANSING PROPERTIES
Been quite a while since I read about foolhardy cybertruck owners

I just said bye to my friend in office and that I’ll see her at the airport in the 2nd week of June.
*deep breath* here we go
Reading about volcanoes is more fun than work anyway
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_Volcanoes#:~:text=Volcanoes%20selected
And when you zoom out further..
There’s Naples. There’s Pompeii.
“ Vesuvius has erupted many times since. It is the only volcano on Europe's mainland to have erupted in the last hundred years. It is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, marked as one of the Decade Volcanoes, because 3,000,000 people live near enough to be affected by an eruption, with at least 600,000 in the danger zone. Eruptions tend to be violent and explosive; these are known as Plinian eruptions.”
When you say Mount Vesuvius, is cool, check out its modern day proximity to cities
I am so sleep deprived, it is not yet 9pm and my system is crashing
Seriously, taking the shuttle to the general hospital for an appointment and the return shuttle trip, all included, is faster than this stupid windows laptop.
Today’s hospital appointment was so quick I think I actually managed to get back on the shuttle bus before it even left for its next run..
(Meaning I got off the bus, and got on it again)
I slept like the dead which was refreshing, for once, but woke up with a throbbing headache.
Did some chores and brushed Ketchup very thoroughly, finally reunited with the PS5. But of course, LOTS of updates pending.
Hate that it is just sounds of drilling all around the neighbourhood though.

Ah, so that is why bees are one of the Outlander novel titles
Really starting to struggle to stay awake now.. what snacks do we have?
#snacks
The good news is.. Frankenfinger seems to have made progress bending that hook bend on its own? The next time I will try to take a photo.
I just saw musuko throw his whole gang of pikmin (red and ice) at an electrified gate and they all died.
Thank goodness the game lets you rewind.
