It’s a meeting and team building day. I’m actually doing public speaking today. I’ll be talking about President’s Club and how to get there as an engineer. Not a lot of time to journal. I’ll stop here.

Today was annoying. Just a lot of non-stop meetings. Felt like nothing was getting done. I know that’s probably something I need to get used to, but I’m so used to being the person doing the work. The rest of the week will be like that. Lame. At least I have Friday to look forward…

I did it! I finally did it! I got the Lingua Franca achievement in Crusader Kings III. It took so much time, so many failed attempts, it was sooo hard. According to Steam, less than 0.6% of players have it. I think I’ll uninstall the game now. I don’t want to do that again. My…

I should be able to finish my Crusader Kings III campaign today. It’s been fun. A big Star Citizen patch came out. I don’t think I’ll check it out soon though. Maybe in a couple weeks. It’s been historically buggy when trying to access things right after a release. Today’s goal is to sell some…

Just got done mowing the weeds. Work on the perimeter wall is scheduled to start next week. I’m glad we will finally be able to have some privacy. The fence was completely destroyed in the flood, and everything has been going into our yards: coyotes, raccoons, cats, dogs, children, everything. Today I’ll be doing some…

…sigh, lots of fires today. I don’t even want to talk about them. It’s fine. Next week is going to be a huge meeting week for me, as the company does its quarterly all hands. I’ll be organizing a party as well. We’ll be playing Lethal Company. I don’t feel like blogging/journaling today.

Well, I finished in fourth at the hackathon, which is lame because it has no prize. But that’s ok. I’ll still argue I squashed some of the most difficult bugs. The person that got first prize basically spent their entire day closing tickets as no work needed. Other than that, today was quite productive. Some…

Hackathon end. I wasn’t even trying in it, but somehow I was 2nd place at one point, and I think I’ll end up in 3rd place? Dunno. The prizes are $100, $50, and $25 gift cards. It’s alright but the prize is not a motivator for me. What is exciting is today’s footy matches. I’m…

Day 2 of the bug hunting hackathon. It’s alright. People seem motivated by it, though. Not my type of thing. I am keeping it in mind. Met with Liza yesterday about Fiber Club pattern sizing. Had a productive meeting. I have enough to go on with, but it will be an iterative process that we…

Today marks the start of our “found-it-pound-it” hackathon, which is a 2-day long bug fixing event. It’s quite boring… Wish my boss had at least gotten a little creative with it, but the extent of his creativity was “It’s Star Wars themed” and then threw on one Star Wars slide. One day I will be…
