Blugh

I practiced some for my set next Monday. Got some patches together on the modular. That was fun. I seem to have started to get sick today. My throat's sore and I felt weak all day. I don't quite feel the main cold symptoms but I feel they're fast coming. Got some kind words about our team and some good news about a bad situation (I'm being overdramatic, we have an objective that should be tested but we ran into firewall issues, which feels pretty amateurish, shouldn't we have figured that out by now? calling a third party endpoint we should make sure a firewall rule is in place, but oh well) anyway, we'll be able to deploy it anyway. I feel like I'm tired and rambling and all that junk I just said was barely coherent. Anyway. There was a group lunch. I didn't get the invite, something may have happened with my email being on lists when I switched to an actual employee. But I tagged along. It was at Mellow Mushroom so the food wasn't very good, but I rode over with Zach and listened to and talked about Slint so that's all good. Now I'm home. I got my new laptop in the mail! I haven't had my own personal laptop in quite a while! (Yes, I've been leeching off my work laptop since my last one broke and I couldn't afford to replace it.) This new one's an Acer, but I got some pretty nice specs on it: i7 (though only dual core), 32 gb ram, 500 gb ssd, and a 1 tb hhd. I read good reviews on the case quality so hopefully the plastic's not cheap like those Lenovos I had back in the day. On initial touch it doesn't feel as strong as the plastic on my work computer but I've just barely touched it. Haven't even turned it on yet. Maybe I'll do that tonight or something.
