Tricky to just hop over to the nearest store without a car or I might.
I'll suck it up and suffer for a few days, but it should warm up some throughout the week. Hell, if I could survive my first apartment (the heaters barely worked and it would get cold enough that the walls would frost up at night), then I can survive less than a week of this. Should be back up to mid to hi 40s by Tuesday, which is much more comfortable. Plus...idk cats plus space heaters kinda sounds like an accident waiting to happen and I don't really want to risk it. We'll survive. |
lots and lots of blankets, a sleeping bag, and lots of clothing layers. that is literally how I survived winter 2014 living out of the back of my car.

Then again, I'm from the Midwest. |
Can't tell if someone's banging on their radiators or if the heat's been turned on and they're just clanking as they start working.
Will find out in a while if it heats up. Update: It is heat. Finally. |

this time of year? It's normally a bit chillier. I'm absolutely not complaining though.

Yeah, fair, it depends on what part of October. Around here, at least, October is when I expect it to go from being consistently above 60F to being consistently below 60F, with an "Indian Summer" occasionally coming in late October / early November.

I tend to wake up sweating a lot in the summer. It sucks. :/ But nights are finally colder.

Deep in my feels about people I had been friends with for over ten years.

nostalgia is a liar sometimes.

Ugh. Dealing with a customer with a multi-million dollar contract at work, and they keep yanking our chain. They contracted with us for custom development, argued hard on not taking any risk upon themselves so they didn't pay any money to us up front (and I wasn't allowed to be involved in the negotiations because I'm in engineering, not in sales), and then proceeded to stall for like ten months with various problems with their payment processor, their own engineering team getting caught up in bureaucracy, and then halted their travel program for the holidays. This means we aren't making any revenue at all on that contract until December... and now there's rumbling that the management got replaced on the customer's side and the new management doesn't know if they want to renew the contract for next year.
Meanwhile, upper management on our side is seeing all of these complications and delays and is expressing a desire to terminate the contract now instead of losing any more money. Which is going to suck on multiple levels. It makes my team look bad for sinking so much into a project that died without making any revenue ever. It makes me feel like crap because of how much effort I put into this that isn't panning out. And I've got a lot of "I told you so"'s here, too, because I was arguing for some sort of guaranteed revenue in the contract instead of being fees only. Maybe charge $X/month and then offer the first N bookings per month for free, or maybe have a basic support fee and then lower the marginal fees a bit. But that didn't happen. |
