Man, I have my diabetes under control now (6.0 A1C) but never stopped peeing all the time. I can’t remember the last night of sleep I got with less than a few bathroom visits. Didn’t help I had to get on a diuretic for my blood pressure.
Same. I turn 40 next year, and remember my dad at that age, but still feel like a kid.
Project Hail Mary was my first thought when I read “audiobooks” and “sci-fi”. Not only is there an aspect to the story that lends itself particularly well to the audiobook format, but the narrator (Ray Porter) is so good I’ve sought out other books he’s narrated.
When I worked for a large company, they flew our software development team from Seattle to their financial HQ to kick off a project rebuilding their internal expensing software. We showed up in the usual worn band t-shirts/ripped jeans, most of us tatted up. The receptionist called security on our lead developer because she thought he was a homeless person who got into the building.
