Weirdly specific about toe postures

Yesterday I met with the business innovation folks, which was fascinating and exciting and we made a new and much more reasonable idea for a project proposal around indexing all the different processes Delphi currently has on a day to day, week to week, and month to month basis. I went to the all hands, and this week we had a huge pile of mutual appreciation announcements, which was all the more heartwarming because both the frontend and engineering teams have been overworked. I’m glad that our collective reaction to that is to lift each other up just when we all need it the most. After lunch had some one on ones and in the cracks got the staging database into shape for the release candidate, and tried and failed to find a way to point the R client at the staging server instead of production. Filed an issue for that. I had therapy, and talked about the pandemic and seasonal affect and stress at work and meds adjustments and death and family and it sounds like a lot but I’m starting to run out of stuff before the hour is up and I’m not sure what to do about that. I don’t like the idea of being on anti depressants without being in therapy.

A quick meeting with S to see about giving another project management tool called Monday a try, and that was it. I’m off work until the 30th. 🎉

Dinner, crossword, Avatar, snack, sleep. Dreamt of way too much air travel, a piano sonata by Ursula K Le Guin (beautiful, a shame it was dreamware), a ballet company made of Doctor Moreau creatures who were also in the military, an underground yet airy campus center.

I started reading Enchanted by K C Herbel, which can’t decide if it wants too be high fantasy or a slapstick parody of high fantasy. The characters started out pretty flat but are gaining depth as we go, and while it’s depressingly male-focused I’m otherwise enjoying it.
