Overtime in secret
Aug. 7th, 2024 10:48 pmOne of the things I love about working from home is the relative freedom I have to do a lot of things that are not work during the day. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes sometimes (many more times than I'd like to admit) I overestimate my ability to plan my daily activities because I always want to do so many things at the same time, and with the hellish workload I had for the past six months it was very difficult not to feel exhausted, drained. At least now the evil leaders at evil corp have adjusted the workload a bit and the difference is huge.
Anyway, now I feel like I don't actually have to work overtime to finish on time. The deadlines don't feel impossible and the other tasks (solving tickets, having meetings) don't feel as annoying... they still are, but they feel a little less like a waste of time.
But today I worked a couple of hours after the end of my workday. I try not to do that but tomorrow I'm gonna steal a couple of hours to go see the kid's performance. It's the end of the summer course and they dance. I never miss it, so it's worth it. But my brain doesn't seem ready to rest, so I decided to use that residual energy and write a bit here.
It doesn't have a point. not really. But it's nice. I exist. Hello.
