Last year, there wasn't a post, but I had what I would later call a "religious experience" in SF. I had an interview with Mixpanel, followed by hanging out with my friends, and getting some good food. I then took a red-eye flight back to Indiana, where I saw Your Name, and made a temporary friend named Sandy whom told me "I bet you got the job", and bought me some airplane whiskey (which was pretty delicious) to celebrate.

Last month was the Mixpanel EPD off-site in SF. Long day, but good day, indeed. I also discussed how a friend of mine mentioned I exhibit similar focusing strategies as him and that he was recently diagnoised with ADHD.

Last week was a weekly review, and I may want to reread the post more carefully during my proper weekly review (which reminds me, I need that to be in my plan).

I'll reivew the rest of the post during my end of day review.

Let's do some timer stuff.

Sun Jun 24 02:08:27 UTC 2018

I'm physically tired from yesterday and emotionally tired from the events of today, so I'm going to move my weekly review to tomorrow (which actually makese sense, as today was basically a wife day and we already agreed that tomorrow would thus not be).

We'll see if I still do my end of day review or skip it today. But for now, Overwatch.

End of day review time.

This morning, I skimmed last month a bit and for reasons I already don't remember, I wanted to read it again. So let's do that.

Wait, I wanted to redo for last week. That's how well I remember. Ah, yes, weekly review stuffs.... I guess I can give this a proper review tomorrow morning (I'll do my weekly review right after my planning pomodoro, I think).

Moving on, then.

Yesterday was my wife's birthday.

Sun Jun 24 04:29:21 UTC 2018

Which leads us to today....

Today didn't go so well. The wife and I recovered, but it was painful for a bit. We tried to go to comic con, and we bought tickets, and we waited in line.

And they wouldn't let use bring our metal reusable cups in. Even though the person behind us was wearing a ton of metal and was waved through. My wife... is diabled. Staying in line once was already too much for her, and we really like our reusable cups and aren't about to throw them away.

I wanted to see if I could get a refund, and the answer was no.

I was a bit angry, but I kept things fairly under control. I had a heated discussion with my wife, and she also did a good job keeping it under control. A person interuptted our conversation to ask if we'd sign a petition (something we've already done), and I, in my heated tone, explained to him that 1) we already signed that petition, and 2) we were clearly away from the line, and having a conversation, and I definitely do not appreciate being intruded upon. "I agree with what you're trying to do but learn to read people better, please." He got defensive and I ended the conversation there.

I went back to the ticket counter and said it'd be appreciated if they explained what wasn't allowed into the comic con area before selling the tickets. It's a clear design flaw in my opinion. You have to buy the non-refundable tickets before going through the line. The ticket-booth has no line. The woman behind the counter gave me a blank stare and said, "The information is available online."

....

So is buying tickets! Why would I go to the counter if I went online and bought tickets online? And, also, fact-check: the only quote about metal at all on their website is here: "ACE Comic Con has a strict weapon ban for metal, glass, plexiglass and stone weapons. Beyond that, it is completely at the discretion of our guests what they are willing to sign. Ask them prior to purchasing the autograph."

This is under the autograph section, and is worded as "weaponry". A cup is not a weapon. I'm actually considering trying a chargeback now. We weren't allowed to use services paid for based on incomplete information not given at the time of sale. I don't even care about the money. It's a principle sort of thing.

I've made a trello action item for it.

Anyways, we made sure to do other things in the day and recovered pretty well. Not a big deal overall.
