My kitchen sink was still leaking on Saturday. I even pestered the office a few days earlier to get someone out to fix it. It was annoying not to be able to do dishes, but I used it as an excuse to eat out more.<\/p>\n
One thing slowing the maintenance guy down might’ve been the second power outage we had on Monday. An equipment problem apparently. It wasn’t resolved till mid-morning the next day. I got more sleep Monday night! But it reminded me of this article<\/a> on the mental health effects of prolonged outages.<\/p>\n I seriously need to establish some routines for my time outside of work. Having my projects crowded out by trivialities all the time is kind of demoralizing. Sometimes I wonder if I should give up on my ambitions and just accept the mundane existence I seem stuck in. But I’m not really capable of settling like that, so I’ll keeping pushing myself toward solutions.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n Sometimes my projects are crowded out by work. I don’t really mind occasional interruptions for that. It feels more meaningful than putting up with the inefficiencies of my everyday life. It can add up though.<\/p>\n In my last update I was in the middle of setting up my new hard drive for some freelance work. Well I finished that, and the rest of the job was fairly easy. My brother narrowly missed<\/em> having to help me slog through compiling that module like he did years ago the first time I compiled it.<\/p>\n Now I’m in the middle of another text comparison job of the same kind, but this one will take extra work for a different reason. The files they sent me have a format my program doesn’t quite read (the concise version of InDesign tagged text rather than the verbose version), so I need to adjust it a bit.<\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon I got an emergency request to fix a hacked WordPress site, so that was my Wednesday night and Thursday morning. It reminded me I have some work to do on my own site.<\/p>\n It’s nice of my clients to pay for all these meals I’ve been eating out lately.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n At my real job we got an emergency request for office people to help out in the warehouse. I signed up because warehouse projects are fun and I felt bad for ignoring the last few requests. It was fun this time too, and I got to talk to some people I hadn’t met from other departments.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n As usual, I inched forward. I ended the week stuck in Docker trying to figure out how to locally debug my Travis CI tests. Doesn’t that sound like I know what I’m doing?<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n I think I have all the content for bibliology basically written. I just need to clean it up a bit, and then I can post the update.<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Sunday I went with Jeremy, Heather, and their kid to a pumpkin farm. We didn’t stay long, but we looked around and did some shopping. I was tempted to get a little pumpkin or two for decoration because they looked so nice, but I didn’t think I’d actually do anything with them. I did buy some pumpkin butter and fudge and fed a goat<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Life management \ud83d\ude15 My kitchen sink was still leaking on Saturday.
