First non-fiction book in a long, long time. It was an interesting read but it had also parts that were a bit too much ’Murican to my taste.

This week was… quite a disappointment. First a project, which has given us a ton of pressure to get their desires fulfilled, decided to start sitting on their hands and to not provide any finalizing comment on one of their requests when we actually we would have time to get it done. Then, as the very final thing on Friday before logging out from work it turned out that one VM image on Microsoft’s Azure Pipelines does not have the versions of a tool they claim it has, which again effectively blocked our build pipelines.
Another week, another blizzard. This one is forecasted to end tomorrow around noon, followed by a few hours’ pause and another blizzard. Last week there was no blizzard, so winter needs to catch up.
Also, there will be a major strike tomorrow and the day after, let’s see how well those will get cleared…
@matigo I hope so too. The antibiotic drops ordered on Wednesday actually made the infection worse, and now I have antiviral drops that I need to apply every hour for a couple of days as well as a bunch of pills.
Waiting at the local eye clinic’s ER. I have an eye infection that got worse when I applied the eye drops the doctor ordered on Wednesday.
@matigo Considering the fact that the winter lasts for 4 months (with temperatures that can be well below –20°C), it is not that energy efficient to warm the streets or parking lots. It would be nice, though.

@variablepulserate I just spent an hour clearing the car from the snow (the parking lot is not covered) and that was not enough…
@variablepulserate Not dangerous, annoying mostly. We usually get 15–20 cm of new snow with each blizzard, but the things is that the society does not stop here. The kids have to go to the school, the adults go to work, etc.
Expecting a blizzard to start in a couple of hours. Again. This would be the second or third blizzard this year. And we are only halfway through January.
