My actual EV costs in 2024
It’s car registration renewal time! Let’s see how much having an EV saved or cost me.
Some income would be nice
It’s really unfortunate how I’m stuck in the hinterland between being too disabled to work but being too abled to get on disability (at least not easily). Dealing with Social Security has been super frustrating and I’m not expecting to get a full hearing or determination any time soon, so in the meantime I could really use some sort of part-time income. Not to mention having things to do that other people care about.
I am way too burned out on software engineering to do that anymore (I barely even want to write code for my own projects), but I would be super willing to do things like:
- Music
- Sound design
- Video editing
- Character design
- 2D and 3D art
- Game design
Anyway, here’s my resume.
I’m willing and able to work part-time in Seattle (remote-focused hybrid preferred) or remotely.
I do not need this right now
There is a fucking leak in the wall behind my bathtub
It is probably yet another fucking hurrah from the shitty goddamn bathroom remodeler folks
It is going to be fucking expensive to fix
Maybe the plumbers will be able to get at the pipes from the side but I’m not optimistic about that
This leak has probably been there for a while but it’s taken this long to be apparent, because it was slowly eroding away the drywall next to the tub and causing the baseboards to swell up
I suspect I’m going to need to sue the contractor for gross negligence
At least I still have plenty of tile left over from the renovation, in case the worst comes to pass and I need to get that wall redone
anyway this guy fucking sucks
Solar power: How’d I do?
So, at the beginning of this year I got a solar panel system installed on my house. After a year of collecting data I think we can do the math about how well it works out, financially.
Random updates
I figure it’s been a little while since my last random-updates update thing, so here’s what’s going on in my life. Because I guess some folks like knowing this stuff? Weird. Anyway.
My condo is finally sold!
Yay, the big financial albatross is no longer around my neck. Now I can feel a lot more free to move forward with all of the projects I’ve been wanting to do, and not have to worry about, y'know, finances for a while.
I already feel a million pounds lighter.1
So anyway, time to start looking at redoing my kitchen.
