Hi, I'm Jason Lamb.

I work in education/EdTech and live in #HamOnt.

Sometimes you'll find me talking about:

Playing softball or curling. Videogames. Hockey. A caffeine addiction. Squirrels I've befriended. Random happenings of my apparent sitcom life. Byproducts of my inability to sit still.

Well, they got several in the house, so that went way better than either of us expected.

*pull into driveway*

*get out of car*

Friends needed two replacements for their once-a-month curling team. I've joined, and have also roped a mutual friend into playing as well. Our friend has never curled before. 🥌

I'm giving them a private curling lesson after work tonight.

This scene randomly pops into my head at least once a year. So good.

In motion they look more like plastic than the white ones.

Got off work early and went on another run.

Hit my 900th Strava-tracked activity and got the 5K down to 5:03/km.

Surely the speed gains are infinitely sustainable.
New personals bests on my latest 5K run:

400m - 1:48 or 4:30/km
1/2 mile - 3:39 or 4:32/km
1K - 4:35 or 4:35/km
1 mile - 7:38 or 4:45/km
2 mile - 15:55 or 4:57/I'm
5K - 25:17 or 5:03/km 900th Strava activity notification

I'm tempted. But we're already running so many other things that the rest of the university doesn't use, and I don't want to "add" to that pile.

I don't have a ticketing system at work (yay, budgets), but I do have two Outlook folders that I sort specific requests into so I can keep track of volume.

When I finished the run I admittedly did think of you and this post after seeing my pace 😅

I mean, a good couch does deserve a viking funeral.

I'm *really* hoping he measured incorrectly.

I want to cut that couch in half.

Helping a friend take some furniture in the dump in an hour.

He thinks he's going to get a couch into a van, but I don't trust his ability to measure things.

So I'm showing up with a reciprocating saw, just in case.

I'm assuming at this point that Holtz's PTO is going to turn into a contract then, yeah?

I immediately discovered after getting this that "hey, glasses don't really fit under tight hockey masks...I probably want to see softballs being fired at my head".

So I'm going for an unneeded eye test (had one last year) today just to get contacts. Just for a single-day Halloween tournament.

It's really a coin flip at excelling or crossing the finish line in the back of an ambulance.

Went on another run (and a tad further).

Figured out how to pace myself (?) and somehow cut off 44 seconds a kilometer.

My pace is now (somehow) better than the person who roped me into this.

My institution rolled out the Blackboard LMS for the last year of my undergrad and it was a buggy disaster. They promptly dropped it after that year.

Which is about the time Blackboard's market share started to dramatically crater.
