I feel there is much to report and so little to report at the same time. Strange sensation. I went for a 8km run last night which as part of my rioting has clocked up 18km this week already - very satisfying.
I've been no that busy at work because we're eminently releasing so the less work we do on the product, the less risk we introduce and the more stable and consistent the build will be for release. I brought my Windows laptop in and have installed Windows 8 and been looking at that while haphazardly looking as things reported to be critical enough to fix and take my attention away from mucking about with Windows 8.
I went to the dentist yesterday, got rid of my infection in my tooth but will have to go back. Got an assignment to do. Haven't done it - my weekend's goal.
Been sleeping well, very good - few off occurrences of waking up in the middle of the night but things should improve. Applied for my provisional driving license this week - I will be getting a motorcycle this year in the hope that I can set off at the end of it for touring England and Europe. This is one of my goals.
Still reading, which helps with any downtime and still renders it quality time and lately I've also been making childish progress in my 3DS game while in the office.
We, as a development team, got what the British informally come to call a 'right bollocking' which is basically telling off; this was because we've delayed our release 2 times already and it's still not perfect yet. That sucked.
The other thing that's been on my mind recently, inspired by a conversation I had with someone. The bottom line is that if you're not getting what you want from what you do, is it worth trying to change yourself to accommodate this and make something fit that doesn't fit?
It seems that an initial reaction to this is that giving up work based on this is not a real answer. However, the more I think about it, the more I realise that it is: You should get what you want, if you're not getting it, sure see if you can see if you need to try and get it, if that fails or is too much hassle - go get something that gives you what you want. That's the whole reason we have choice, to choice what we want to get. With work, this should be no different.
Started to realise that one of my quality books is becoming boring, I don't know if that's because I'm not entirely following it - maybe reading it in bits and pieces is not the way to do it. But I will give it a chance and get back to it soon; might be good to start reading my alternative book.
Got to send my passport to the DVLA for my provisional license. Loathed to do this. Once a passport is lost in transit, it is lost. I would be really up the creek without a passport. I'll have to do it. Will try to minimise the risk though, with delivery options etc..
I still haven't booked any holiday :-)
