Week 06, '23

A busy week. Went to the office several times. Think I'll stop eating meat. Well, I'm still planning to eat fish and shellfish. I'll stop eating birds and mammals. And bugs. I'll stop eating lizards. I'll continue to eat 8 spiders a year.

We ran a tech writing workshop. It went fine. I taught. It was fun. It's hard to run a workshop for the first time. It's hard to run a hybrid workshop. I wish there was a strategy other than making the experience of one set of attendees worse. Until I've seen, or thought of, some new way of doing things I'd only like to run workshops fully remote or fully in-office. Maybe we should get some of those little iPads that drive around. The teleprescence robot things.

My new team is my favourite thing. I love working with these people. We're doing some really good stuff. I'm hopeful for the future.

On Friday I took the train with Pixie to see Duckie in a Sleeping Beauty panto in Windlesham. It was a lovely time. Duckie is so captivating. She, much like Spindleshanks, has star quality. Her voice cuts right through you and shivers your bones like the cold winter wind. (In a good way.) I was so overwhelmed that I cried. (In a good way.) By the time the panto was over there were no more buses. We walked for an hour through the open fields and public golf courses to the train.

Two birthday parties I'd agreed to attend fell on the same day. Saturday night. I realized this on Saturday afternoon. I responded by cooking an omelette and attending neither. The week was exhausting, I was not up to much. I stayed home and played video games and wrote some emacs lisp. I'm writing this blog post in a .org file right now like a freak.

What a week!

Just kidding; nothing happened.

I went to the office on Tuesday, saw some peeps. It was nice. Had a seven hour meeting. OK.

Arranged with Pixie to see Duckie on stage in Windlesham next week.

Continued to do very little other than work and play video games. On Tuesday i went out to the bar and talked about work until 11p.m. while drinking ice cold pints of water. Actually had a really hard time leaving the house all week, and was not eating or sleeping well. Will try to fix that this week.

really nothing much to report.

good luck.

4th week '23

work has been very busy, very good. having a good time.

on thursday evening i went out for dinner at ganapati with becky. that's one of the top people the world has made. she's vegetarian and i'm doing this low-carb-so-i-don't-die-so-soon thing, so a place that has a killer veggie thali seemed like a good option. thali wasn't on the menu, for some reason, maybe they stopped doing that. we got three main meals instead. afterwards we went to a bar and drank 2 pots of tea. i was up until 3am. guess it was strong tea. the scotsman behind the bar seemed furious to be selling us tea.

because work has been so much i've been trying to take it quiet in my spare time. also, of course, i'm not drinking. and i spent too much money last month... and this month, so all that adds up to staying home, playing video games, making tasty meals. i haven't been making any music or doing much creative, but i'll get back on that soon enough.

one of the things i spent too much money on is a steam deck. it's very cool? repairable, runs arch linux and kde plasma, a great computer and game machine. im writing this blog post on it

add me on steam, my tag is cheedear i think.

the second week of 2023

can you believe it's only been 2 weeks now? feels like it's been 2023 forever! maybe i've just been busy!

good week. went to the office, saw people, it was nice. ate a burrito bowl. barbacoa. great. it was really good to sit at the 3a kitchen area we built and chat with people. it's such a good spot.

started team. it went well. tiring so far. lots of work. pretty excited. everybody seems happy. wee buns.

spent the weekend mostly playing cyberpunk 2077 and watching bocchi the rock. went out for some walks, cooked some nice meals, made some goulash... but the week was so full and busy i needed a quite empty weekend. though i've been talking with folks from an internet art collective about helping out so i've still been doing stuff that's like what i do at work.

i really enjoy thinking deeply about stuff. i've missed it. don't feel like i've done that for a few years.

oh also i still have not had an alcoholic drink avatar 2 was released. they aren't related but they happened on the same day so that's how i've been remembering it. so that's a month tomorrow. went to the bar on thursday evening and drank ice water and chatted.

soon it will be time to take a little break from work, because i am exhausted. but first we must complete The Task, and begin The Next. then i will rest.

i'm sure there is more but i haven't been taking journaling notes.
