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 […]

I honestly don’t know what to make of this week. Not surprisingly, given last weekend, I kind of started behind, and honestly never quite caught up. So much of it has to do with trying to keep up with everyone else’s needs, tracking the requirements of two completely unrelated job descriptions, attempting to snag a […]

All that broken stuff on Thursday in the last post? The train, as they say, keeps rollin’, though thankfully, it’s nothing that can’t be recovered from, though some things are rougher than others. To start with, I’ve been watching my lovely spouse deal with the stressful realization that something that’s been a significant part of […]

So, I came to the realization mid-way through yesterday that I’ve been working way too damned hard the last two weeks. It’s true, I’ve been hugely productive at work, I’ve ridden a ton of miles on the bike, and I’ve even gotten a start on the Humdingers tracks I owe my bandmates down south. That […]
