   I've been thinking a lot about giving up on this Plaid application. Marvin's EOL care is pretty intense. Wendy is having a brutal month at work, and she has another year left on her masters. I need to find a remote position, but maybe Plaid isn't the right one. The thing is, I already had an interview with them.
   
   My boss is changing roles at Perforce. I want remote work anyway, but him leaving is making this more of a priority. It looks increasingly likely that Nik will not get the support team job at Perforce, which was another thing keeping me from being serious about looking. The fact that it is taking so long to find someone is completely draining.
   
   Wendy is pretty useless to help make decisions. She's literally only worked in the medical academy or not worked for the past 17 years.
   
   Nik is less useless but he's obsessed with getting out of Minneapolis, which is not an option for me. He also wants to work in an office. He did send me the Plaid link though.
   
   My parents have only worked in music education for the past 40 years or so.
   
   My brother works in math education, and lives in the same town he grew up in. Aside from the YMCA, he's only had one job.
   
   But back to Plaid. I have the logic down for the final bit, but awk is not doing what I want it to. Maybe I should use something besides awk. I need to get the second column of output so seems like the obvious choice. So far, porting this to python seems like it is going to be complicated.
   
   I tried to use subprocess but that didn't work. I'm not trying to use requests.
   
   Anyway, it's time to feed the cats again, I guess.

     @musicman I wasn't aware of them before, so I searched for it.

     The other thing I'm contemplating is not biking to St. Cloud in July. I don't think I have the time to put in the miles and lose the weight I want to lose before then. I'm thinking maybe push that back to Labor Day. Less light, but perhaps lower temps, plus a 3-day weekend to recover, which I won't have in July.
