Feeling somewhat better today once the cold meds kicked in.  I took today off and I plan on actually painting our mudroom and doing some fall clean up in the garden.  The priority is the painting and if I run out of energy/daylight the garden can happen this weekend.  I am grateful for the several days of unseasonable dry weather we have had (and are going to have).   I have the basic rough draft of my Notion template done and I would love to get it more solid tonight.  If I get that done I will start gathering some royalty free art that I will need for examples in this template. Small steps get the job done. I am considering possibly doing a short you tube video on how it works in hopes that it drives interest in it. But that will depend on how quickly I get this done.   No gym today and Maple has doggy daycare so there will be no walks.  I have enough things to do that will keep me moving.  I am also hoping to take a pause mid day for a lunch date out with the hubs.     I hope Wednesday treats you well and thanks for reading!    

Could still work with a time-out before it stops showing you as "active"... 😅  

Thank you neighbor.  And yeah you are right..it isn’t boring but it does lack the excitement of something new.  The blanket I picked up for her at Aldi so she wouldn’t use one of my nice ones.  She made it her own in less than 5 minutes by chewing off a corner. 

@TimovieMan you currently show as active on this thread and your own, so it looks like I can also track how many tabs you have open, in addition to all my other stalker-data I'm compiling. (Pinging @Heidi so she can satisfy her fatal flaw with the answer because I'm apparently an enabler as well as a stalker.)

This is true, the office in general had a good atmosphere, but insufficient workload (which isn't on the chart, probably because that goes more to bore-out than burn-out), lack of growth opportunities, and low pay all contributed to me pursuing an opportunity in another department. Although in fairness, I will say the low pay is more in comparison to what most of the office was making, it was actually up to that point the highest paying job I'd ever had, which probably says more about my less-than-ideal career choices coming out of college than anything else.

Holy Moly, well done Sir! I think my highest step day is 12.5 miles, and that was a distant while ago.   Are you joining the West Marches side campaign? Looks like there's a walking group gathering at the Emberwood Inn.  

Here to cheer and follow!

27/9 - 233.7 lb 8/10 - 228.5lb 17/10 - 232lb 22/10 - 230lb   basically i have no idea why my weight jumped so much, but apprently its going back to what it was before? Metabolisms are odd  

CORRECT, and I think @Artemis Prime recently made a job move explicitly becuase of the Bore-out factor (lots of downtime, primarily, even though everything else seemed fine). Gallup's latest employee engagement survey (2023) showed that, among other things, "Clarity of expectations fell across demographic categories and job types," and I think this is a pretty telling factor for a year that saw active engagement go down and active disengagement go up. I haven't done a study or anything, but I wonder how often burnout first presents itself as active disengagement.   Okay, now I must know this. Not becuase I'm king. Becuase it's my fatal flaw.

How does it work if you're like me and have 27 different threads open at the same time? Showing me as "active" in all of them? Or only in the one that's actually on my screen at the moment?
