  1. This is my 1st day w/o any appointments, work shifts. Sitting on the loggia of my flat, munching on the discounted food I picked up earlier.

    As I feel the estradiol gel drying and permeating, I further my plans of moving back to Vienna around October. In the transitory space between kitchen and living room I notice that card again:

    FOX OPPORTUNITIES
    YOU MUST BE QUICK TO MOVE OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SITUATION CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE RESPONSIVENESS AND FLEXIBILITY OPEN YOUR MIND TO NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS. ONCE YOU DO, GET READY FOR GOOD LUCK AND OPPORTUNITIES TO COME YOUR WAY.
    For a number of reasons, I feel returning to Vienna so hard. Now, as I have a very affordable flat offered to me, there‘s a tempting window of opportunity. Moving back to Vienna means giving up my current job with no securities in my bag, but being back to my PhD studies Uni. Back to where my transition started … ​:Celeste_trans:​

  3. Happy Friday to all!

    Seven years ago today, my wife and I left Germany to start our new life in Japan. As you can see, the environment in the southwest-German countryside was very much the opposite of Tokyo - I sometimes miss waking up to the sound of birds singing (but don’t miss much else about Germany).

  4. 🤓 Oh, joy! Another Common Lisp library to help you parse your life decisions while you contemplate the futility of existence in parentheses. 🚀 Apparently, #GitHub thinks #AI can save your code, but not your soul. 💾

  5. Daily Inspiration: "The best decisions you will ever make are the ones that give you some of the best moments of your life!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    34 years ago today, I began a new career, working at home, leaving the corporate world to pursue my passions and interests! I've never looked back - and in fact, have been blessed to experience such absolute joy in the home office every morning. My wife quit her job in the corporate sector some 3 years later and has been with me in the home office since then.

    I'm sharing a post I wrote about this some years back since it puts into perspective both my realism and the decision process that led me here.

    Today's inspiration? The point should be obvious - since it shares a photo of a typical moment in the home office when my sons would visit me throughout the day! Among the best decisions I have ever made is deciding to build my own business, work from home, and experience the absolute joy of having my sons and wife around me through the entirety of my work day!

    It's a crazy story.

    That's why I find all the gnashing of teeth about the future of the workplace so interesting. Quite clearly, with COVID-19, much of the workforce has discovered the joy and beauty of what can come with a home office environment. Yes, many people do miss the interaction with their business counterparts.

    But let's face facts - I dare say many of them won't want to go back to an office workspace any time soon. They've discovered the magic that has been a part of my life for the last 30 years.

    With that in mind, it is clear that there is a seismic workplace attitude shift underway, and we will do our best to understand it!

  6. "It is of moment to a young man when entering life to decide whether he shall make hats or shoes; but not of half the moment that will be that other decision, whether he shall make good shoes or bad."
    Anthony Trollope

  7. The most difficult and costly fediverse instance to run has got to be #Pixelfed. Storage alone must get out of hand. You'd have to be crazy to start your own instance of it… Introducing social.photos

    Just kidding, I've only bought the domain... still thinking it over. What do you all think?

    #Pixelfed #fediverse #lifedecisions

    Should I start my own?

  8. At a larger scale (what do I do for "work"? etc.) I want to zoom out and assess:

    1. What annoys me the most
    2. What do I have the skills/power/access etc to be able to contribute most effectively to

    That's a reasonable approach, right?
