Bridgedays has been kind of a letdown so far

Opening day at Cornbelly's wasn't blazing hot, quiet, devoid of people, and still feeling like midsummer, sweating profusely in a hot cornfield with a cider slushie. 

Instead, it was 80s (read: comfortable), and packed. Insanely packed for Spanish Fork. Felt like late September/early October packed. 

The grilled cheese was having issues due to their power, and then when I ate it, I got kinda sick later. Not that there was anything wrong with it, but rather that my stomach just couldn't take it for some reason. 

A bit of a letdown. I've been looking forward to those strange crossover days since early February, but they're not -- this year -- all they've been cracked up to be. I ended up retreating back to my water parks, mostly. Lagoon itself had nice crossover yesterday - haunts almost ready, Thriller playing while at the water park. 

But I don't feel it. 

We have one more weekend and IDK.

Dream jobs list

In addition to Research Engineering, this: Is exactly what I want to do, if I don't decide to bridge next into cybersecurity or embedded. I would just work here and never leave until my writing took off. Or even just not leave even when it does.  Fully remote and at the intersection of tech, math, code, physics, and art. Also, I use Adobe's software on a daily basis.  If by a miracle I got an interview, well -- I'd be studying out the wazoo for it.

St. George Marathon: 3:08, but at what cost? 💩 (TMI alert)

Image
I don't know who's carrying the boats, but I'm carrying the logs. 💩💩 This was my second full marathon, having run St. George last year in 3:34. I only tapered for a week and I never stopped lifting except for the day before. I knew I was capable of going much faster than 3:34 overall and that's what I set out to do this round.  This training cycle peaked at 62mpw and had a lot of lifting, but not as much as I'd like. Usually I did 1 speed workout per week and maybe threw in 1-2 fast miles for my long runs with the rest at fairly comfortable conversation pace. My longest training run was 22 miles.  We drove down Friday (I took the day off work and slept 9 hours, hallelujah.) Saturday, probably slept 6.5-6.75 hours, but woke up a LOT. I did core in the morning for about 5-10 minutes just to get the system up and running and also vanity. I wore my favorite Big Cottonwood 2025 tee with my Revel bib clips.  The start line was freezing. I did manage to work on all of my...

Introspection time

I've delved back into personality theory fake-science and finally figured out my whole enneagram trifix. I may or may not have involved Claude AI in this discussion because the internet wasn't helping. Yep. I knew my core type as 4w5 instantly. But the rest? It took me years. I initially tested with a 7w6 -head fix (yep...LOL), and thought for years that maybe it was accurate because 1) I can be silly?  2) I have a LOT of pursuits compared to the average person 3) I am vaguely introverted-7ish at amusement parks if I am with an energetic group. I get along decently well with 7s overall.  4) I have generalized anxiety disorder (w6...????) But no. That's SUPER counterintuitive for me. It was obvious all along. A 5-head fix can still have an anxiety disorder, and a 5-head fix can still be somewhat polymathic, especially in the 541 tritype. I am constantly screaming MASTERY. This is competency.  My love for theme parks and roller coasters is from the SX seeking intensity. The...
