a day a week, day seven
Ending the day exhausted from work always sucks. I guess we're on the downhill side of it now at least.
Next week will be a big one, the weeks following will be an interesting challenge, but I can't help thinking about what my boss said about how we reward tenure almost more than anything else. I'm coming up on 5 years here; lots of growth, lots of progress, and still plenty more to do, It may just be that we're exceptionally busy at the moment but "ironing things out" is taking a toll. I might just be working on my own too much, or only with my cohort, I feel like I've not had as many chances to work with engineers lately. I don't like being too far from the ground. And yet that's where I am.
Justy helped me get into a better mood, dragged me outside and onto the bike, for which I am very grateful. It was something I needed, much like how I probably need yoga in the mornings. Pressing start is the hardest part!
I did end up buying the new Silent Hill game, which should be interesting. I've not played any of them before and while I'm glad it's out on PC, I almost feel like that's one I can and should have used as an opportunity to buy a PS5. Something about the current climate and tariffs and all that bullshit makes me really not want to spend on too much though. Really, I should just play my existing Steam library, there are so many games that I haven't even touched. At the same time, I can't recall the last time I bought a game before this one. It literally might have been Helldivers 2 almost two years ago at this stage. Wow.
I'd like to eventually figure out a good solution for playing on the TV, the Steam Deck isn't quite it and streaming over WiFi always kinda sucks anyway. Maybe it's just a long-ass display cable or a second computer or something. Not important, I just prefer to not be sitting at my desk in the evening after sitting at my desk all day. Definitely feeling like day in, day out at the moment. And that's okay, really. Just its own kind of exhausting, that's all.
