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!
Having an extended family gathering on a cruise to Alaska. I'm excited.
Been a bit of an intense week at work. Between working with my coworkers over the weekend and even late at night to hit a major project milestone, dealing with the vendor of that solution (which is actually going well right now), having my big boss "politely" threaten said vendor for alleged non-performance, then having surprising technical issues with another vendor, and another co-worker and I having to write stern emails to this other vendor...it's...it's been a lot. It's not normally like this at work.
I've been leaning into my supposed PM role (one of many roles since it's a non-profit) a bunch lately. Only like 2yrs late. But better late than never, I suppose. Either way, I never want to do this again. Not to this extent.
I'm so glad it's the weekend. I have no plans, other than buying groceries, and that's the way I want it.
Relatively boring week but with some positive highlights. My direct manager is back from paternity leave and has been helping me get back on track for a promotion hopefully by the end of this year. With leadership wanting us to improve developer productivity, I've taken on more tickets than I normally do but I'm confident I should be able to get them done.
I started rewatching the show Atlanta and forgot how much I liked it. I'd previously watched this show last year (around this time too I think, can't remember) and quickly got through all four seasons. I really love the "short story" type of story-tellling instead of the more traditional multi-episode story arcs most TV shows have. I also queued up the recent hit K-Drama Queen of Tears to watch but I haven't gotten to it yet.
I'm excited for this weekend. I'm watching the movie Civil War with some old friends later today. Tomorrow, I'll be going to an autocross event, my first one! Only trouble is, the event is 100 miles away and check-in starts at 7am so I hope I can wake up in time. Anyways, I'm excited and nervous at the same time. My friends who I'm going with all have actual sports cars (BMW M2 Comp, Lotus Evora, Porsche Cayman). Meanwhile, I'm going in a 4000lb diesel sedan haha. I just hope I'm not the slowest person at the event as that'd be a big hit to my ego.
Hopefully after that, I'll be able to relax and rest properly. With weird weather we're having in the Bay Area, my pollen and dust allergies have been on turbo mode and it's made sleeping a bit difficult. Think I've averaged around 3-4 hours of sleep per night from my usual 7-8 hours. Hoping to just pass out and recover properly tomorrow night.
I’ve binged a full playthrough of Minishoot Adventures and what a delight this game is!
Worked on code quizzes to prep for interviews. Felt bad at not being good at code quizzes.
