Husband sent me this picture, and it honestly took me a second to spot the dog.

Equal parts angry dev and stressed academic. This is my very not work account.
Had a fab time at the #HamRadio / #AmateurRadio conf in #Hobart this weekend.
I’m always delighted by the diversity of interests that come together in this hobby - hardware, software, hiking, hacking, 3D printing, space, meteorology, more - as well as the community spirit of all those involved! 📻
The plan was to temper the stress of #USpol by having a small gathering at our house this evening with close friends, as a sort of mutual moral support while catching up on events which happened during Australia's workday.
Alas, venturing out from my self-enforced social isolation to attend a local event this past weekend was enough to land me with #COVID for a 2nd time since 2020 - despite masking, multiple nasal disinfectants, eating outdoors, the whole shebang.
Now I get to watch the race while semi-delirious with a fever, and feeling decidedly worse about society as a whole. 🤒
Not me, repeatedly downloading the book I have sitting right on my desk just because I forget every couple of days and need to look something up 🙄
