2025.06.01 Puppies And Motivations

Say hello to Bergiet, our 9-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. She's small, bitey, friendly, and has unfathomable charisma in person. I really should be spending this post writing a MSDS for cuteness, in case it is actually possible to get lethal exposure.

The one down side of the Panda Shark is that house training her involves taking her outside every couple hours - including through the night. Since Amy has 12-hour day shifts, that means mostly me. I am fucking tired.

However, currently, not being able to stew to clearly on my thoughts is actually kind of helpful.

Due to current circumstances, the company I work for has pivoted away from the electrification I had been excited to develop for the trucking industry. This was disappointing.

Very disappointing. It takes some effort to shake off the weight of how hard it is to focus on the fun engineering that is the core of my job when the direction swings to point in the axis of cowardice and avarice.
