What's everyone up to right now?

Without the tl;dr details it became clear to me this afternoon that my career is over. It's only a matter of time and whether or not a severance package is involved (which there will be if I'm to sign a non-disclosure/non-disparagement agreement).

Maybe it's for the better anyways.

Sometimes the change you need to make is made for you.  I hope all works out well.

Ignominiously watching my son pour a wall for a planter. I can't even pick up sacks of concrete to help, now.

Do what my mother does.  Sit there giving lots of advice.

Apparently, there's no way to speak directly to someone who works in support for Uber.

The only contact they allow is via text. And the way the person couldn't understand a goddamn thing I was trying to get across, suggests to me the individual is not exactly proficient in the English language.

So the issue was not resolved and they ended up doing something I didn't want done.

*sigh*

Probably an AI

Sorry to hear about the loss of the job.  Hopefully you'll land into a better situation.

The rain is looming. I love rainy days.

I appreciate the sentiment, but the better situation is retiring earlier than I planned. I'm getting up there in years, age discrimination is rampant in my field, I'm disabled, burned out, and I have no desire to continue in my profession after this.

Went to see the first concerts of this year's Ravinia season.

Yesterday, I went to see Angela Hewitt playing the Goldberg Variations. I might have gotten a bit too into the spirit of a piece supposedly built to help Count Kaiserling fall asleep, because narcolepsy (or whatever the fuck I have) kicked in for a bout the first half of it.

Today, I saw the Allman-Betts Band. They were all right, maybe not quite at the level of their dads, but still enjoyable. Also worth noting, apparently Duane Betts owns and plays one of Jerry Garcia's old Travis Beans guitars. Not sure if it's the same one Jerry used at Cornell, but if not, it's pretty close.

The room spinning, gut wrenching, laying on my side vertigo hit me the other night. Guess I have to barely sleep uncomfortably for a bit before trusting myself on my side again.

Just got back from the eye doctor. Got a bag full of prescription refills and a new one because it appears my bones now have the strength of those of a tiny baby bird. Guess I will order a grocery delivery because I do not intend to leave the house tomorrow...the natives are restless, and I am old and easily breakable it seems.

Someone do whatever it takes to make this pricey parade worth it...I am thinking something along the lines of funeral procession.
