I finally am seeing progress in getting someone in to pick up some of the load so I can do anything but work.
I’m starting to place strong boundaries between dayjob and personal life. I just finally reached a point where I realized that I have to live my life, and if that costs me a job, then it costs me a job instead of my life when I look back years from now.
I rebuilt the NAS server, got the house picked up finally (well, mostly, some issues to sort out), got the new Challenger R/T broken in a little. Backed up years of files, and installed my workstation OS.
I finally fired up the latest version of Tetsuo, the trading bot I was working on before my job stuff got out of control, and I realized it’d been two full months since I even touched it when I saw the dates, and that wasn’t by choice. I really let this go on just way too long. I didn’t realize it had been that bad that long.
Elbows are still fucked up. Looking at rehab options for them.
I’m still in climb mode, though, I’m just too exhausted to treat it that way. Even with this weekend cleared out, I’ve got a bad, long term burnout that needs downtime to fix. As I type this, I look over and see that it took until 3am to open up the code for that project.
Baby steps.
