Tuesday feels like a monday
On the work front things are going well. I found devices that work the way I need them to and I found the proper configuration to get some of the devices we thought wouldn’t work to actually do the right thing. Granted it took three days of phone tag with tech support, but it works. So I’m happy. It also means that the product release is coming quickly and between that and the demos I’m working like crazy to get things into a complete state and update some of the changes in hardware that we’ve got going. So yeah, absolutely insane schedule but at least its progress. It’s nice to see something I’ve devoted this much time and energy into come to fruition
On the personal level things are okay. I’ve got a nice person to converse with during the daily bouts of insomnia and that’s a great thing. Had dinner with the ex and the kid tonight. He’s not too thrilled with the possibilities that have been presented to me in the way of different options and where they may take me, but hey, Ryen’s not really thrilled with either the changes to my life or to his mother’s. They’ve apparently set a date, albeit quite a ways out, for a wedding. Oddly, and perhaps it’s the exhaustion, I’m actually okay with it. I figured I’d be more disturbed but no, it’s alright.
Cut back some on the drinking which is good. Picked up a smoking habit which is bad. I’d like to think I have the willpower to quit but at this point there’s too much random stress to make me want to. Ah the value of chemical dependency. I’ve been totally delinquent with the writing for the podcast. I have tons of ideas and things started, but between the upcoming product rollouts and the energy devoted to that, I just can’t get myself back into the writing mode again. Hopefully when the beta’s really start to roll I’ll get back into it.
It’s been an interesting week. I’ve had a number of people I know lose people close to them in the past week. To various things. Cancer, car accidents, old age. And I found out recently that my own grandmother is sick. Not sure what to make of that. I guess at this point, I’m still kind of in day to day mode, but there’s so much other stuff to do that I don’t think I have the energy or the time to dwell on it. At some point I know it’ll hit the wall and I’m not sure how well I’ll handle that but when it does come to pass, I’ll deal with it then.
I think I’m burning out though. I feel it. I’ve still got some time and energy left. The reserve is still there, it’s just dropping little by little. I’ve wanted to write something for a while but haven’t had the energy to do so. This is the first night that I have because I cleared the evening to have dinner with Ryen.
Songs I’ve been listening to lately:
The Gambler, One Mile Down the Road, Soulless, Rewind, Life is a Highway, Slidin’ Home, The Price I Pay, Wild Horses. Why I’m writing this part I don’t really know but I think it might be interesting to track what I listen to by mood.
Alrighty, off to skim through my Adtran manual again. Whee!
