I’ve never heard it called a “muffin dish” but

Yesterday I had therapy, which was good because (1) grandma’s stroke, (2)
another health crisis in the family still on the DL, and (3) news I can
finally share: my boss is permanently leaving to go work at google, which
means I am out of a job. Current hope is to hop over to someone else in ML,
and if not, someone else at CMU, and if not, something else in Pittsburgh
(I’m actually reading my LinkedIn recommendations now and they are
remarkably plentiful), so it’s likely something will stick, but it’s still
a bit 😦 in the meantime.

P had their client kickoff meeting in class and it seems to have gone well.
I had my last student project kickoff of the semester, and our first
all-hands “epic” meeting. The combination of therapy (early departure from
home = sandwich for lunch instead of soup) and lab meeting (staying late at
work) was suboptimal food-wise but not catastrophic.

We’ve been slowly working our way through a set of YouTube videos about
bench carders, carpet weaving, and fulling/finishing that I snagged from a
Ravelry thread. They’re mostly Ukrainian and Russian, and of mixed utility—
the one from last night was great (the expert made the host try out each of
the steps of making a carpet, starting from washed fleece) but a couple
others were heavy on talking and light on doing, so less good. Most of our
subscriptions are food, math, woodworking, or complexly vids, so it’s a
nice contrast regardless.
