This ended up being somewhat of a rebound week — all the things I’d pushed off because I was on-site the last couple weeks rebounded back, right into my face. Most of the week was start work early, get crushed by 6 or 7 hours of meetings, stop to gym and/or cook dinner, and then go back for another hour or two before collapsing into bed. Not recommended.

Was in the Bay Area (specifically, San Carlos, mostly) from Sunday to Friday, for work stuff. Two weeks on the road, basically back-to-back, is no longer something I’m particularly fond of doing it, seems.

Spent Sunday through Friday in Austin, for work. It was mostly fine, but the weather was kinda meh, and I didn’t manage to get much of anywhere beyond work and hotel. I think next time I’m going to stay downtown and tolerate the time lost to commuting, because at least that way I can get out in the evening and walk around a bit.

One of those, “what did I even do?” kinda weeks …but as I write up the “did” section below, I’m realizing I did quite a bit.

This week was both an on-call rotation for me, and managing the periodic maintenance software release. That was enough. (Also, it turns out that probably mentally unstable politicians making not-that-veiled threats about nuking other countries is not great for my mental health, so …this week was a lot, y’all.)
