What did you do this week (and weekend)?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
Work: This has been my last week at my place that has frustrated me to no end. My mental health has plummeted since I got a new Director and I am glad to be rid of him. I will miss my team(s) dearly, but I suspect many might come with me to my new role.
Life: I've really gotten back into writing in a big way. Enjoying pushing things to Wordpress again after what feels like decades since I did it last. Talking about neurodiversity, leadership, tech shit... just feels right.
Games: Everspace2 has eaten my soul.
Continued to carve a wizard staff, getting ready for Halloween. It's made from an old Christmas tree, and I set the crystal into it at the height of last Saturday's annular eclipse, just for that extra level of magic!
Last weekend I was out of town. I'm like 85% sure I'm getting a new job (the background checks are insane), so I went to check out apartments in the new city. Found some decent options, so that was productive.
Work has been pretty uneventful, since I only worked two days this week. Monday was my travel day, and I was out sick yesterday and today. I got my flu shot and COVID booster Wednesday night and that knocked me on my ass. The fevers are finally over, but still dealing with some aches and pains, headaches, and tiredness. Last year, I had no reaction to the flu + covid shots. The first booster in 2021 just gave me mild, short-lasting issues. This was like my second shot in the initial sequence. Hoping it all resolves by this evening.
F1 race weekend in Austin, Texas (COTA), so I'll be watching all that. Plus, F1TV is showing the women's only F1 Academy. I think this is the first time they're showing anything regarding this new feeder series.
Relatively chill week for me though things will be a bit more hectic moving forward.
I’m past the 3-month onboarding phase at work so now I’m starting to get real responsibilities like being on-call and dealing with support tickets when they deal with what my team owns. I’ve also been placed on the big new project my team’s spearheading as part of the revitalization of our product so I’m excited to work on new features.
Going on a roadtrip this weekend with some friends to go see a comedy show as well as check in on a friend still in university. About 600 miles round trip of driving in 2 days so I’m going to be super tired on Sunday haha. Should be a fun trip overall, these are friends I’ve known since high school so should be fun hanging out with them again.
