"What made it impossible for people to read the paper was that I like explaining things with stories, and I made up names for characters in sort of pseudo-Greek letters. For example, in the paper there was a cheese inspector named Γωυδα.... Apparently, the readers couldn’t deal with it, and it caused that paper not to be read as it should have been." https://www.quantamagazine.org/computing-expert-says-programmers-need-more-math-20220517/
Interview tomorrow morning for a consulting gig, then another interview in the afternoon for a staff job. And today I just submitted an application for a job on which I have an inside track. (I told the hiring manager that if HR prescreens they might think I'm overqualified.

#OtD 15 May 1831 a London jury found the killing of a police officer in the new force "justifiable homicide", despite the coroner locking them in to get them to change their mind. The officer and 2 others had been stabbed after attacking a workers' demo https://pasttenseblog.wordpress.com/2017/05/15/today-in-london-legal-history-a-jury-finds-the-killing-of-a-copper-to-be-justifiable-homicide-1833/
I'm going to start doing #3goodthings:
1. Quit a bad job with my sanity, self-respect, and moral compass intact.
2. Earlier this week I got a new body butter, and I will be asking Spouse to assist with its application tonight.
3. Kid 2 drew a really cool picture of an octopus.
