   This was too many char for the GNU Social instance I use, but I think you should be able to read https://datamost.com/dw/note/P13deY4ZTMOCsqaRbu8zOg without a pump.io account.

         I've noticed though that the screen prints 1164, but that seems to include some buffer. That may have been fixed in newer versions though.

            @musicman Twitter’s old 140, plus 1024.

         I finally decided to put off the 100k step challenge until I am able to find a better position. I do not know the issue, but we are not hiring people fast enough. I know this is an issue in the US generally, but we aren't filling our positions abroad either. I'm tired of being expected to be a miracle worker.

      @musicman I’m not an endurance athlete (or any other kind), but you could try to delay the step challenge if you can still do it in the cooler weather of November/December/January. Only you know your own knee, but some pain is a challenge and some pain is a warning of something worse.

         trying to do it in January is a silly idea. We have colder Januaries than any capital city in the world other than Astana and Utlaanbur (which I've surely butchered...Mongolia).
         
         The real issues are things I didn't want to post on facebook, which I can come back and post, but don't want to accidentally close the screen and lose what I've got.

         I guess the biggest thing is the time commitment. I can probably do the 45 miles without losing weight or a training hike. The drop in temperature is probably enough. I just don't want to fail again, and thus I don't want to take any chances.

         but I've got blocSonic stuff, looking for job, cat nonsense. I'm just stressed out. Not doing the 45 miles is a temporary solution, but my hope is finding a different job is a more permanent solution. Although Epic required moving to Madison, my hours were super-flexible. I'd like that setup with a company that embraces open source. I'm in a better situation than I was at Nagios. It's a step in the right direction, but it's still way too far from ideal.
         
         Once Marvin dies, things should really mellow out. So much of my time is spent making sure the other cats don't eat his food (it doesn't have many teeth and eats very slowly). He poops on the litterbox mat now (but pees in it...wtf dude?). He's also the one most likely to wake me up because he's hungry in the morning. Also, I have to give him medication twice a day. It's just too much.
