LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} (lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net)'s status on Thursday, 12-May-2022 02:32:38 UTC LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} Previously, I was in walking distance of where I worked, so I had no commuting. Having done 2-3 hours driving in each direction several years ago, commuting is one of the things I dislike most.
So if someone asked me how I liked #NYC, my andwer was of the "I don't have to commute, so it is good" variety. But now, I can mention the pop up musical groups as the major positive.
(The subway and my previous walk to work is more the absence of a negative.) -

Yes, troubleshooting data would be useful. I'm still in #NYC, but I'm hoping to do some major updates to all !fnetworks sites when I return to #SoCal. -

There was German bratwurst stand (the family actually has a Deutsch accent), so I bought a chicken brat.
I suppose this is an Easter thing. There was a smaller food vending area a couple of miles away yesterday. I saw it, but did not stop to buy anything. -

I have never seen this done before. I wanted to take a photo or video, but he was already past me and receding quickly. -

They have been busy with shutting down an office, and he's tired. Maybe in a week or two. -

Site cannot handle the volume. -

Last night, someone walking to the subway with groceries was killed by a stray bullet from a confrontation down the street.
#NYC is having a little violence right now. -

In a couple of weeks, there will be only two #NYC buildings left, with one IT person at each. I was prepared to leave, so that a subordinate who has roots in the area could continue to interact with the people in their life, but news of the expected grandbaby in a few months has me wanting to stretch it out.
I had the chance to volunteer to leave, but I passed. -

Then they sent me to #Albany, and I felt somewhat refreshed. After a few weeks there, they said to return to #NYC, and I had told him that if my body started to feel the same as it had, I would head back to #SoCal for a couple of weeks and then attempt to visit #MO.
He said that since it is sometimes difficult to get large chunks of time off when desired, I should wait, because they wanted me to visit later in the year, when there would be another baby to meet. -

Then they sent me to #Albany and I felt energized, even though I think I slept less.
Now, I'm back in #NYC, and I'll just have to see what my body says. -

Climbing these stairs has me out of breath.

As usual, Google maps and I could not agree on when it should tell me to get in a specific lane. I say "tell me far enough ahead so I can make my way through traffic" but GOOG says "I'll tell when you could barely make it without any traffic congestion".
As a result, I took a spin around a neighborhood in the Bronx. Oh, and I was on Broadway and in that vicinity. I saw what looks like Times Square, too. -

The neighbor reduced their volume once I put on William Hung's "She Bangs" video at the tablet's maximum volume. I guess they hadn't thought about the spillover into neighboring hotel rooms. -

We had some discussion of trying to coordinate a family trip to #NYC so we can all see the city together.
Also today, I drove to another office in #NYState. I don't know how far away #Quebec is, but I saw a school bus with its stop sign in another language (I think FR). -

We walked through Central Park. And we went to the observation deck of Radio City Music Hall. We almost went ice skating, but the price was too high.
It would have been #sonOne's first time ice skating. I've gone before, but probably not in 45+ years. #NYC -

Both times because he flew to the area where I was. Tomorrow, we try to see (part of) the City.
After the ramen, we shared updates about family and friends. We talked about career goals. We talked about the geopolitical situation. And we talked about the difficulties involved in #sonOne coming to #NYC. -

But only a little, as I'm more focused on the family member visiting #NYC this weekend.

Also, I kept wondering what an "Oblast" was, so I finally looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblast
