OK, it’s Saturday, 20 August 2022. I’ve been getting some stuff done, paying some bills, picking out and shipping birthday presents, and prepping some other tools for use around the house just as soon as the grass dries up a little bit more. It’s been raining quite a bit this last week.
It has been an interesting week. Good course delivery with the usual amount of imposter syndrome… yeah, I have a problem with that. Had some good meetings with managers and coworkers. Got a little good news with my review with my new manager. Did a teammate a solid by picking up an extra class.
I haven’t been exercising my creative muscles of late. I should consider spending more time with my guitar, drawing some fantasy maps, or writing some fiction. I finished off one of John Scalzi’s newest titles, “The Kaiju Preservation Society”, and was very pleased with the story. It was an audiobook, narrated by Wil Wheaton. At the end of the book, Scalzi had his author’s afterward, and it may have been the best afterward of any book I have ever read. Mr. Scalzi talked about his process, his work ethic, and how the COVID pandemic affected him. He was really impacted by his experience, as we all were. It made me think more about writing, and I am considering taking some writing classes.
I’ll probably work in the writing classes between the guitar lessons I haven’t been taking.
That’s me being the grumpy old curmudgeon.
Alrighty, time for me to get back to this very one-sided futbol match between Arsenal and Bournemouth. 3-Nil Arsenal.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
peace y’all.
