Sounds like me!

It’s nice to read your updates about your lives with the little dude. Hang in there!

i actually do have enough money in my emergency savings that i could maintain whatever the minimum balance is that they want now. but why would i do that when a) i’d be earning nothing on it and b) it’s, you know, my emergency savings and i might need it in case of an actual emergency?

ugh. it just makes me SO angry.

How long did it take you to port over all of your auto-debit stuff? It seems like I would have to take a full day just to do that. It the long run, I think it would be worthwhile, though.

Oh, yes, indeedy. I don’t think Facebook has, or ever will be, designed to incorporate a high S/n ratio. I think its main purpose is to make superficial, light connections and to keep the attention spans short. The format favors games and memes over posts, partially because Zuckerberg seemingly created Facebook as a counterpoint to both MySpace and LiveJournal–it was a cleaner format than the former because it contained less content than the latter. I find that I can get a better S/n ratio from Twitter than Facebook, as there’s something about Twitter’s forced brevity that can inspire some creative comments from its users.

I also have less interest in computers or some elements of higher technology due to being in IT. Perhaps this industry just beats that out of us. Unfortunately for myself, I’m getting to the point of burning out as my work time is spent answering e-mails, most of which are less technical and more what I would consider to be pointless administrative paperwork. My free time has decreased, and while I do spend some of it in front of a computer, it’s more frippery than anything productive. I have a lot of photos that have stacked up, and yes, I’d like to get some of them taken care of in Lightroom, but that feels like work nowadays, hence why I have a hard time getting motivated to do so when I have free time. Bleah.

Thanks for sharing.

As for "boutique fitness mags", the editors really ought to know that running in make-up for extended periods of time in heat and/or cold clogs your pores and irritates your skin. (eye roll).

I've seen runners in fall and winter months sporting yellow, reflective vests over their gear. I'm thinking you could get them from sporting good stores (real and on-line), and/or running stores.
