Woke up with another DDR hangover. I gotta drink water after playing, damnit.
Finished state & local taxes. Futzed with Evo battery, trying to refresh it. Got into a thought spiral about replacing it. Headache worsened, napped for a bit.
Oven pizza and cheesecake. YouTube.
Really slow day.

Again a pretty chill day. No meetings, a few devs were out. Got to concentrate and take my time on some tickets.
Got the other Nissan sold today, yay. Cheesesteak from Pittston for dinner. DDR, YouTube.

Reviewed the testing bug list this morning, then found a chunk of time to do employee evaluations. Glad to get that done. Lunch, a few small tickets iirc, and stand-ups. Leftovers for dinner. Watched the Sisko episode of ST:SA, and it was nice. Bed by 12.

Yesterday was dev wrap-up for a feature. I hadn't much to do, but stayed available for FE team requests (and there were some, small things). I also investigated feasibility for supporting another game (just news and guides) and some SEO fixes.
Olive Garden for dinner. YouTube, and bed early at 11.

First, finished tickets for a project due for testing tomorrow. Wrote code, suffered a meeting, late lunch, then burnt out by 4. Rallied at 6 when someone pinged (of course) for a last minute thing. All this process and we're still scrambling.
Leftover sopes for dinner. DDR, YouTube. Bed by 12!

Slept alright, woke up early-ish. (Tbh, nobody would call it early. Early for me.) Spent 2 hours chasing down a small memory leak problem, a bugfix puzzle distracting me from real work. Then I did actual tickets and got shit done. Stand-ups. I like work when I forget everyone outside of my team.

Went to bed late again, slept in again. Dug into item level issues on Undermine Exchange. Wanted to finish state/local taxes or get stuff on GitHub, but item bonuses remain insane.
Misc leftovers for dinner. Couldn't watch the Superbowl, no way to get NBC. YouTube instead. Bed early tonight!

Went to bed late, then couldn't sleep. Woke up late, but before noon.
Waffles, dishes. Tried to replicate some OE addon issues. Did my federal taxes, like an adult. Installed battery tracker on the Evo. It's flippin' cold out there, like 0F. Spent silly money at Wawa. ST:SA, YouTube.

Decent day today. Woke up tired, but went through some PRs then had time to concentrate on a chewy set of problems. Nothing super fun or satisfying, really, just liked having the consecutive time to get a bunch of necessary code written. No meetings. 🎉

Stayed up late watching DS9, then couldn't sleep. I pushed my alarms and 10am meeting an hour before falling asleep.
Had my (now 11am) meeting, then another, with coworkers to set up their sprints. Barely got some tickets set up for myself before a quick lunch, then the sprint start meeting.

Fixed a few problems today instead of getting tickets ready for next sprint. Whoops. But it's okay. Sprint retro today was fine. About as ordinary a day as we can get lately.
Picked up the Polestar in the afternoon. Had leftover pizza for dinner. Then some YouTube. Yawn.

Couldn't code yesterday, had PRs to review, bug tickets to write/investigate, then sprint demos and preplanning.
Square pizza for dinner (Evo started fine, yay!), then some YouTube. Napped on the couch an hour before bed, then went straight to bed.

Back to work. Mostly quiet day, with a few people out sick, and I was keeping my head down getting some tickets done.
Eventually I was pinged about some change being made. I asked some questions, and obviously upset the other party by them. Why do they seek me out only for me to aggravate them?

Got stuff done around the house today. Bills, laundry, some cleaning. Posted another repo on GitHub.
Panera for late lunch/early dinner. Evo started w/o jump pack after charging all night, yay.
Watched third ep of Starfleet Academy. On paper I shouldn't like it, but by the end of the ep, I do. 🤔

Went to bed late, woke up late. Started making breakfast with the bird on my shoulder. Left the house to visit my dad, but the rear tire on the Polestar was completely flat. Refilled it, then went to start the Evo, but its battery was too low. Jumped the Evo, limped both to the tire place.

The end of a difficult work week. At least it didn't seem to drag, I always felt a day behind where I actually was. Maybe because my sprint's always a little behind. Having lots of 1-on-1 convos with coworkers, just supporting each-other. Everyone's a little short-tempered, top to bottom.

I should get to bed earlier. Not much to say except a bummer of an all-hands meeting today. 2025 was not good for us. I'm not encouraged things will turn around this year.
Five Guys for dinner. Started putting things on GitHub, hope to continue that.

Not much to say. Managed to catch up on most of my pending non-coding work in the morning, and despite a couple meetings and a D4 patch, got some coding tickets done after lunch. Hope to do more tomorrow.
Stayed home, tho the alley was plowed. Leftovers for dinner. Jet Lag finale. A little ONI.

Another day of little coding. Reviewed PRs, got sidetracked by folks changing Jira configs, then finally did my 2025 self-evaluation and set goals for myself and my team for 2026. (Yes, I have a few devs who report to me, kinda. It still feels weird.) Developed a late-day headache.

Still frustrated by work. Feel like I do 7 inconsequential things in a day, have 10 more things to do, and I can't concentrate or move the needle. Got a bit snarky with someone about cutting corners and regretted opening my mouth about it.

Snow daaaay. Slept in, cleared the driveway of like 8" of snow, did laundry, played ONI. Cleared driveway again after sunset for another 6" or so (though the alley's unplowed so why bother). Eggs, toast, and beans for dinner. Little more ONI, watched Starfleet Academy ep 2, then YouTube.

Lots of running around today. Winter storm tomorrow.
Slept in a bit, woke up, had a waffle, then out to pick up Instacart groceries. Ordered a cheesesteak from Primo to pick up on the way home. Why does it take them like 40 minutes to make a couple sandwiches?

Woke up a little late. Reviewed a bunch of PH project designs and specs. Met to go over the (lengthy) project design process, but I had a good attitude through most of it. Asked more PH spec questions in slack, then some PRs after 6pm. All of that to say, made zero progress on any of my own tickets.

Woke w/headache again. Should've had more water after last night's DDR.
Sprint prep, met w/boss and co-lead for decent discussion. Still a little doom-y. Survived gauntlet of sprint meetings.
Leftovers for dinner. Tried calling Dad, busy signals, emailed. YouTube. Lil' ONI to end the day.

Only put half the sprint together today. PH meeting in the middle of my day that offered no help. Sprint retro that felt like a wake.
Exhausted, had some Panera comfort food for dinner, and watched Jet Lag, then late night DDR to wring out any remaining nervous energy.
I want less stress at work.
