hello 2023

It's 2023 now. Into February at this point. Still standing somehow. Still posting here, occasionally anyway. 

I posted more in the past. There were more readers too. The post count in the archive in the bottom right on this page shows a definite trend. I may have just covered most of the ground and that was that. It seems blogging is less over the years and twitter is more. A twitter tendency to be brief, compact, and to the point is not necessarily bad. Still I've got some ideas for stuff to post I should get to it.

Coming up on 3 years ago now. We were sent to work from home on a Friday in March 2020. Then it was three weeks. Now three years on of 15 days to flatten the curve. 

The office has reopened a few months ago. Anyone who wants to can book online and sit in the same cubicle five days a week. Free coffee can be found again. The times I've been in it has been kind of sparse. Cavernous and quiet. Definitely not the same feeling. We're moving to a newer, smaller, nicer, office in the next few months. Maybe that will help.

Yep things were never the same after 15 days to flatten the curve in 2020. Not the same in a worse way.

Things weren't the same after 9/11.

Things weren't the same after the financial crisis of 2008.

So it is. Darn. Still we carry on. Well into middle age. Trying to find the right path somewhere between acceptance and objection. I have work and a place and no debt so there's that. 

I didn't make any resolutions coming into 2023. I haven't made a resolution quite a while. In 2022 I was able to finally complete a matter that had been a burden for a number of years. There's always the saying that you can make positive change anytime, don't have to wait for January.
