Seems I’ve been pushing myself hard this week, even as I intended certain elements to be “low impact,” in the sense that I gave my muscles a bit of a break by leaving the bike in storage and instead spending some time hiking the local trails after work as my chosen fitness-slash-head-clearing activity. Being able […]

A week. The past seven days have certainly been one. Personally, I’ve been busy with work and bike; tons of meetings, extra work, flow charts, and spreadsheets for the former, more than a hundred (occasionally wet) saddle miles for the latter. One helping me shake the stresses of the other. Not much to speak of, […]

In addition to all kinds of excessive drama I’m not really getting into except to say that it’s very tiring, the regular stuff I tend to deal with has been particularly mentally exhausting. I’ve got a ton of work projects in various states of done; waiting for input from others or for continuing resolutions to […]

So, didn’t love this week at all, apart from a couple of very brief bursts of seratonin. For the most part, thanks to allergies, that muscle pull from last week, garbage weather, long work days, and unexpected adventures in busted ignition switches, tow trucks, and navigating warranty conditions, I spent a lot of the week […]

Ups and downs this week, more than usual. Work was feast or famine, either waiting for things to happen, or being stuck on the phone for 5 straight hours during a Reply-All-Pocalypse. Emotions were a bit of a roller coaster: at different times, I was both my best and my worst self. I got the […]

The work week itself has been exceedingly dull. Other than chasing around one of the data trading partners’ sending of a bunch of duplicate transactions and checking on the status of the few remaining FY21 requirement acquisitions, there’s not been a lot, because, as I said, my pile is largely worked through, and everyone else […]

A mixed bag for the weekend, honestly, but the good was a nice surprise, and the bad at least made some progress. Finally had the poor, overworked A/C technician come by to address the A/C unit (poor guy is ridiculously overbooked and has way too large an area to cover); diagnosing was easy enough (bad […]

In most respects, this week has been pretty darned typical. Apart from my taking the day off Monday, it’s been work, bike, read, watch some stuff on TV. And Oh yeah, deal with the frustration of things breaking or wearing out…again. The VPN at work has been crashing hard all week, especially on Thursday. There’s […]

Felt yesterday that I’d been lagging a little behind the curve on most things. Even though I’m objectively ahead of the game at work, with all my projects in their proper places with time to spare, so it’s not necessary for me to participate in the current crazy sprint to get things lined up for […]

It’s been entirely too stressful for the last week or so, for all kinds of reasons I’m frankly too tired to get into and don’t need to share in this particular space. There’s just too much life right now, and it’s a bit of a struggle to address all the things that need to be […]
