Another week of grinding, trying to get up to speed on the new role at work, and trying to make plans to do some (IMO) really needed cleanup of some shared stuff before I have to head-down on just the product I’m supporting…

First full week of October. Sit with that. Then sit with the fact that the temps here were still in the 80sF.

Spent a good chuck of the week in Austin, for an on-site work training. (Yes, it was training on what you think; no, I’m not gonna talk about it more than that.) It really didn’t feel like visiting “Austin”, because I was out in the north burbs the entire time, other than the time at the airport — it was just like going to some generic upper middle class suburb where it happened to be too damn hot and humid. Back home now, and looking forward to the Oregon fall.

I was supposed to be in the Bay Area this weekend, but an emergency situation in TheWife’s family led to her needing to go to Chicago right now, so off she went and home I stayed.

Another week, another “buy a plane ticket for a next-day flight across the country”-level event. Specifics aren’t really mine to share, but this is gettin’ pretty old, y’all.
