Silence, day two

It doesn't feel like I am on vacation yet. It just feels like a Saturday after working from home. We have to see how monday feels.

Went to the grocery store yesterday morning before it got over 100. We had thunderstorms last night which seems to have "broken" the heat. Only going to be 80s today. The bigger thing it did was not let the assholes shoot off fireworks last night. I would love for a second day of rain. So sorry, all your events are cancelled. Bye bye.

We had pizza for dinner. Chilled out. Played some games. Went to bed around 1am. Nothing but my normal saturday chores on the docket. Laundry. Cleaning. Existing.

Welcome to day 2 of my time off. Technically it started at noon yesterday. I did do some work in the morning. Tried to add a feature to my apps. Got blocked by internal security. Oh well, I tried. Left around 1pm to go to my appointment. Was there until about 6:30. Here it is in all it's glory:

 

 Very happy with it. Came out exactly the way I wanted. Got home around 7:30 with Bonchon. We ate, watched some TV and went to bed together around 10:30. Today I am going to the store and that's it.

Faint, but still there.

Alright, let's catch you all up on a bunch of stuff. I know my posts haven't been very enlightening lately. This is the problem with getting up at 4:30 three days a week. I just don't have the time or energy to say a whole lot, but I also refuse to miss a day. Too many years of this.

This week I have made two AI driven apps. I finished the first one on Monday. It's a Maintenance Assistant aspp. You choose your location and it shows which machines need immediate maintenance and which ones are about to fail. This is the first one I demo'd on Tuesday to the EVP in the morning and my boss in the afternoon. Both were absolutely impressed. So much that they both said I earned taking all of next week off for my birthday. They were blown away that I accomplished what I did in 10 weeks. At the same time, I am also working parallel tracks with the data team to get the back end schema built to drive this and the second app.The second app, which I finished yesterday, is a troubleshooting app. Starts out the same, pick your site and building, then you pick your machine, describe the problem, and it returns troubleshooting tips.

The end result from this week is the EVP wants a PM assigned to me, my boss wants it deployed for plant managers to start looking at it, and I have been added to the agenda for multiple meetings to share it company wide. All in all, pretty big hit. Makes me feel good especially where I was in those first three weeks where I didn't feel like I was getting anything done.

At home, I am stressed about bills, about C's job, about not enough sleep. The only one of those I can do anything about is the sleep. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and got nine full hours of sleep. I needed it. I was exhausted. Now, today I go until noon, then off for a new tattoo. Then I am out of the office until July 13th. I will catch up on the sleep part.

The YouTube channel is going strong. I have 16 subscribers, 50 videos. I will be adding many more over the break. I am prerecording content plus planning on going live. There, now you're all caught up. It's been hot as hell here and it doesn't break until tomorrow. Staying inside as much as I can. Monday is birthday dinner, Tuesday is birthday. On Monday I am going for a hearing test and Tuesday the dentist. But I still get the rest of the week which will be nice.

Scream scream scream

Almost to the finish line. Presented my prototype yesterday. Was a big hit. Very happy.

Silent so far.

It was bad all day and night yesterday. Screaming loud. 

I learned something yesterday. My stepfather is dead. He died Jan of 25. Very weird. I am still processing how I feel knowing he is finally dead. 

Made great progress on my work yesterday. I get to show it off today and am very excited. Hopefully it will be well received.

Made salmon for dinner. Took dog for LATE night walk because it was 90 all day. Didn't get enough sleep as a result, but oh well.

Two more days.

BAD screaming today. Don't know why. 

Did a bunch of little stuff around the house. Chased two old asian ladies out of the yard stealing berries. Made little chickens for dinner.

Still silent.

With the exception of a brief window yesterday I managed to keep my head quiet all day. We went to a trading card expo yesterday at the convention center and there was about an hour where the noise was getting to me but I put in my loops and by the time we left I was doing okay. We went for our friend who lives and dies by his Pokemon collection. He has over 20k in cards. He managed to get 15 new cards without spending a single dollar. All on trades. He even got me one. A rare one of one of my favorite characters. We came back to our place after, had taco bros for dinner, watched Hokum, and then I went live for three hours. Went to bed around 11. Sadly Cat has to work today because she took yesterday off. No big plans for me. But hey, only three days next week and then we enter the birthday zone!!

Silence so far.

Worked on stuff. Read docs. Streamed. Made dinner. Applied for a consolidation loan. Still waiting to hear back.

Scream still

No respite from it this time. Just constant. I am so tired of it. I just want a break. 

Worked on my revisions. Sent them over. Caught up with my old boss. Made chicken tikka for dinner. Went to the store. Recorded content.
