I get woken up by a call by our panicked and angry technical sales dude, asking why I’m not yet in a customer call he scheduled. I’m completely panicked for a second, then my brain reminds me of it being Friday.
I tell him that I’ve never been on duty on a Friday unless previously agreed upon, that I don’t remember having spoken about any meetings today, that my calendar was empty (after I checked it), I never received an invite for any event today (confirmed on the spot as well), that my calendar availability would always indicate during event creation that it’s outside my working hours. I asked if he received any confirmation from my side in his calendar app - I didn’t get a non-evading answer, so course he just fucked up himself and is now trying to cover his ass.
He’s the only member of our team who consistently pulls shit like this. Tries to Slack call me while I’m in another meeting, never gets back to me when I ask him what the call was about. Then tries to call again an hour or so later, often during lunch. Never acknowledges any feedback I provide to the brittle processes he keeps on coming up with, never accepts any suggestions of mine in shared documents.
After an already stressful week I was really looking forward to my weekend and now my brain has been on alarm for an hour since getting woken up. I’m done with his shit. I’ll deal with this on Monday by mail and CC by boss and let him handle this. My patience is depleted.

Cancelled my account at one of my fiat banks because they annoyed me with their pride branding. They sent me a letter confirming the cancellation. For some reason there's now some money on it again so asked me to send it to an IBAN of my choice using their online banking. Well, I can still login but I can't make any transactions now. So now I have to send them snail mail.
Glad I pulled my fiat from those fuckers.
It's almost mid June and I've had to put wood into the stove.
And I rode 20km through the rain on my way home.
From complete disaster where everyone was talking over the other with no real idea of what we were supposed to accomplish this week to a properly moderated series of whiteboard sessions with actionable results that everyone was happy with. I didn't even have to put the actual team manager on too much of a spot by just suggesting a different approach.
Guess I still have it in me. 🌚
Proper Frankfurt city center dinner. 🫠 

Most robust internet dependent app I know? @Minibits updater. Downloads are quick even over the poorest 4G connectivity. 🫡

Headed to Frankfurt again. Way too early for me.
Interesting color association. 🧡


Ich bin mir sicher, all dies geschieht mit besten Absichten.


I have a feeling some people would be better served and happier if they ran a Mastodon instance instead of a nostr relay.
I'll be glad once this week is over. I'm gonna have to practice a lot of biting my tongue starting tomorrow.
Wish I could get quality ghee from a Bitcoiner in Europe. If you know anyone, please let me know.
