A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the detergent in the kitchen at work was almost gone, so I bought a new bottle. I chose a "natural" scent-free clear brand, just because it seemed to me that since it was going to sit at a sink next to coffee makers, it would be annoying for coffee drinkers to smell some scent.
The day I brought it in, somebody else brought in another bottle. This one is lavender scented and purple. It's not overpowering, but I notice the purple.
Every time I use that sink I look at the two bottles and notice which one is winning - which one is being used more. I admit I get a little thrill whenever it's the one I brought.

12:11 pm - Good Friday
When I worked at Bank of America as a clerk thirty years ago, we were always given Good Friday afternoon off so we could go to church. Instead we'd head to a bar on Union Street.

Saturday I went to the Santa Clara Mission Cemetery and took a lot of pictures of graves and stained glass. It was a perfect day, sunny but not too hot. I'd never been there before and there are a lot of old and interesting graves. There are several areas of graves of priests and of nuns, some four or five to a grave.

04:06 pm - Ada Lovelace day
I've been working in tech since 1981 when I moved from being a clerk typist at Bank of America to being a project librarian. This was a job in which I did anything the programmers asked me to do, took COBOL classes at night, and eventually learned what I needed to know to became a programmer myself.
Because it was BofA rather than a computer company, I worked with a lot of women (and gay men, but that's another story) who hadn't come from technical backgrounds. One stands out as a huge influence: Joan Salkin, who hired me and became my mentor. She was a difficult, funny, nitpicking, smart force of nature. The production systems were a mostly male world. Joan was pushy and abrasive - she had to be - and she got things done. People either loved her or hated her. Besides telling me what to do in my career, she taught me to return things to stores and to speak up for myself. My boyfriend and I used to say "WWJD?" for What Would Joan Do? The answer was usually, not take any crap. One time there was a production problem and I thought I heard her saying "I'll get some ass kicked" when she was actually saying "I'll get it in ASCII" but the other would not have surprised me.
She died in 1985, murdered by her husband during a quarrel. I still miss her, and I feel so sorry that (among other things) she didn't get to see how PCs developed, the Internet, or anything else that's happened since then. She would have loved it.
