Interesting to read my last feels post, where I was starting
to feel depression setting in -- I feel totally fine now.
Brains!
OttawaSystems went well, though actual turn-out was a little
low (compared to the tickets claimed). Still; most people
showed up and we had a good time and very little went wrong
and a lot went right.
The weeks are flying by. This is only a 3.5 day week for me,
to be fair, and as approximately half of my week is taking
up with pairing and meetings, that's like 1.75 days of
programming-for-money this week and I will be done. Not a
huge amount of time to play with.
I'm happier in the house. Some things have been fixed and we
have a plan for the future. It's still possible that we
discover some new fresh hell (or an old hell which has been
going slowly wrong). That's any house, I guess.
While I am not as despondant and I was in September, it's
also true that I am not getting a lot of joy out of just ...
computer. I am enjoying things though. But I still find
myself opening my laptop, looking at a few tabs, and then
... well it feels like I am trying to think up things to do
on the computer as an excuse to keep it open but there isn't
anything and I go do something else.
(I mean, there often is something, in the form of work for
Colocataires etc. -- but not as a pure leisure activity).
