Sleep 0300 to 1100. (8 hours)

• Went to Dave and Sophia's for gaming. Everyone there except Corina. We played dinosaur rancher and I won on tie-breaks.

Sleep 0115 to 1015. (9 hours)

• Still haven't finished my résumé so not getting an internal position before I'm terminated (will still try to apply to a couple before I leave).
• Requested to move my company cell phone number to a personal account. As usual finding the exact procedure not always easy. The help system said go to this web page then find the country guide and look at the User Leaving Company section but that has a link to a page that doesn't exist. Looking around a bit more I found a second guide that has a link to a page with instructions. Ten business days so I'm cutting it close.

Sleep 2345 to 0400. 1200 to 1600. (8-1/4 hours)

• Just noticed that Activity Monitor now shows % GPU and GPU Time columns. I think there was a system update a couple weeks ago and I haven't noticed since then even though I use Activity Monitor all the time.
• Speaking of which, macOS Big Sur 11.7 and Safari 16.0 update wants to be installed.
• Got email to transfer my mobile phone billing. You go through a web flow and choose a plan but no descriptions so you have to search for details. AT&T Unlimited Premium ($95+) for unlimited cell phone data + 50 GB hotspot, Unlimited Extra ($85+) for 50 GB cell phone data (best effort after that) + 15 GB hotspot, Unlimited Starter ($75+) for best effort cell phone data + 3 GB hotspot. For now I did the middle plan mostly in case I need to use hotspot for a day or two when Sonic goes down.

Sleep 1230 to 1430. (2 hours)

• DDO maintenance this morning. When it was done there was also an update but it apparently caused a critical issue so after 90 minutes they had to shut down the servers with 30s warning. Too bad I was 90 minutes into a quest but I don't mind much since they don't want users to run into this problem (reincarnation cache items go missing when you try to remove them).
• Fortunately yesterday I finished reorganizing my various equipment so my reincarnation cache was empty (as were all items on storage characters).
• It's been a few more days and my MBP is running fine. Three monitors, two Twitch streams, Handbrake running and doing other things like web browsing or spreadsheet edits seems fast (except for Notes sometimes, I get the feeling it's constantly trying to sync data to iCloud).

Fri Sep 23 2022

Sleep 2330 to 0630. 90 min nap. (8-1/2 hours)

• Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball last game of its season was memorable. Cardinals at Dodgers 11-0 blowout but Albert Pujols hit his 699th and 700th career home runs. Also learned that post-season stats are not counted in career stats.
