On a personal note, my mother has been saying for years that she wanted to visit Paris. Now I feel guilty for not arranging a trip with her earlier.

(Also, Notre Dame was the very first place I visited in Paris when I was there last December. I took the RER from the airport, got to the street level, turned a corner, and there was Notre Dame in all its splendor.)

@AbbieNormal True, but I’d like not to have to block any instances in the first place

I was adding a domain to my personal instance's blocklist and I thought that I should write down in a document all the reasons why I silenced or suspended all the instances in my blocklist.

This required a bit of research, and I ended up suspending 12 more instances

I have so much housework to do that even though I have been tidying up my room for three hours, there is still too much stuff to do.

But the good news is that I actually found the strength and the energy to do what I have done this morning – I have been procrastinating for months. This week ended in a (relatively) positive note and it helped me get in the right mood to get stuff done.

I just suspended a small instance from which I received three follow requests, despite the fact that I wrote in my bio and pinned toot that I would only accept them from mutuals.

Look, it's okay and even human to get distracted and forget to check a person's account, and I can tolerate that. But three requests of this kind in a row are not a coincidence and are enough of a nuisance for me to take action.

The joy of having a personal instance

@ondiz Speriamo davvero, merita di essere tramandata alle generazioni future!

@ondiz Gran bel video, grazie per averlo condiviso

E complimenti per il tuo italiano! A malapena avevo notato le imprecisioni

*writes a deeply personal thread in a txt file*

I am ready to post it.

*copies and pastes first toot in the Mastodon composition field, hovers mouse over the “toot” button*

I am not ready to post it.

*saves txt file, deletes toot, goes back to browsing*

Me in the Fediverse: “Look at all these nice people from all over the world, and it’s amazing that we are able to communicate in English flawlessly”

Me at work: “Is this email supposed to be in English? I understand every single word of it, but all those words together don’t make any sense”

Thanks coffee. Thoffee

Today I learned that the Toyota Production System (the basis of lean manufacturing) was developed by Japanese engineer Taiichi Ohno.

All I could think of was

What’s the value I need to write here? Let’s look up the other table.

🧠 All right.

Oh, it’s just the letter ‘T’.

🧠 Oh, okay. Here, I copied it.

Did… Did I select, copy and paste just the letter ‘T’ in plaintext? Instead of only pressing the ‘T’ key?

🧠 Feed me coffee please.

@Iuckyduck Good morning

I just realized that, since I have a one-day training at work this Thursday and I‘m having the next day off, this week should be relatively easy

Two of my coworkers brought Carnival treats to our office on Shrove Tuesday, and long story short, this is the third consecutive day that someone in the office brings something to eat for everybody

@ondiz So much respect for you!

@ondiz That tshirt is awesome

@ondiz Get well soon

@eloisa Congratulations! And good luck! 🍀
