Four days for me ๐
Two days for me :(

What makes macaroons so good? Why are they so expensive? I don't think I've ever had one.
Do you mean macarons? Because they take more time to prepare and bake.
Macaroons are different. Kinda like a chewy biscuit because of the coconut.
macarons
yeah those, the fancy looking biscuits that seem to cost a few bucks each.
Yeah. There's a lot more involved in the process. You have to get the flavouring right, let the mixture sit for a while, bake it slow like a pav. Blah blah. Well worth buying unless you know what you're doing making them.
For the price I reckon it's worth eating something else.
Happy Friday Eve!
I'm an email in the browser kind of guy. I don't know how people put up with a client. I like to open a link and have it go into the tab next to where I'm reading. I like being able to have my emails open in different tabs in multiple windows. Maybe it's because I'm young, but it's how I've always done it
The only email I like in the browser is Gmail, personally, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a client anyway ๐ I use the Gmail app as well on my phone.
If I'm at a job that uses outlook, I prefer that in the client - most call centre jobs require multiple programs open and I found that having the email in the browser meant I missed stuff or it makes a noise (super distracting when on the phones) ๐ in a client I can mute it but it still looks at the taskbar and see whether it has the orange dot.
I think it all depends on the work you do, and how you grew up :)
That is one case when it would be handy. Do people link to things in those other programs in emails? And does it do what teams does where it takes you from Email > browser > Teams so it creates a bunch of redundant tabs anyway?
Email in browser? Heresy!!!
I had to use the browser versions of Outlook and Teams some time ago, and hated every minute of it.
Give me multiple email windows any day. Probably because I tend to action emails and close windows quickly, whereas tabs can hang around for a long time.
Teams in the browser sucks because they don't give you all the functionality of regular teams. But regular teams is still pretty bad. Browser outlook is much better now with Office 365, from an email nerd perspective it uses an updated render engine compared to Outlook Classic. New desktop Outlook is pretty much a container for the web version, so everything is the same aside from being able to pick your preferred keyboard shortcuts.
We have to use Teams as default at work. It sucks, but it is what it is. I can't get used to using a browser based Outlook for some reason. My brain ain't braining correctly when I deal with it.
Can't explain why.
One thing that much help is pinning outlook to your browser and allow notifications. Then you can Ctrl+1 to outlook from any tab in the same browser window

Iโm really regretting yesterdayโs nap -_-
But I repaired Melbcatโs bed. The filling had become lumpy from being washed and had shifted so some spots were no longer padded. So I unpicked a small hidden section of the seam, gutted it and restuffed it with โnewโ stuffing from a pillow. Then I hand sewed it shut.
Yeah, I went to bed around 8.30pm so here I am wide awake and well slept. Read another chapter of my book - now that I'm keeping off reddit for lentish. The body keeps score. It's about how we react to trauma and ptsd. It's interesting, but like with most self help books, it feels about 5x too long. I know people in publishing, I see the fluffed up points and word waffle. I prefer more concise writing in non-fiction. I never saw a maths book with twenty bullshit pages on Pythagoras' childhood dreams of being a dancer.
I have that book too lol! I'm halfway bc I keep putting it down (some of the cases are quite triggering), but I enjoy looking at mental health from a well-reaearched, scientific perspective; the way Bessel details the history of PTSD is very engaging!
But yes, it waffles! So much waffle! GET TO THE POINT DAMMIT
I'm watching that show Severance on apple and it made me think of how the characters take their trauma from personal life into the work world and the trauma from the work world into their personal life world
spoiler
they get tortured at work n/k โน๏ธ
hence some more motivation to read that book
and I just finished reading "Bully in Sight" and I am surprised how much reading the case histories affected me . I can usually be quite detached when reading. Hope I'm ok reading that Bessel book.
omg, I have that book in audio and am going to start it today
Thanks Brion. ๐
good night everyone, sweet dreams ๐
