Just a few more days and we will finish off another year. Soon it will be year in review time. Woo!

Worked on a 6mo, 1 year, and 5 year strategy document yesterday. Had a two hour meeting to review it. Guess what? I work for a real corporation. It's so weird. Things like OKRs. Objecectives, Key Results. Like reall annual performance reviews. Measured KPIs. Weird shit man.

Also I set up a new youtube channel last night. Going to stream cozy games. No camera, no mic. Just me playing games and recording the results. I have five subscribers already. Granted I know all of them, but the numbers are there! I told C I just need to make enough a month for her to quit. You never know.

Shower won't get repaired until tomorrow. For now, we have cold water. Lovely.

Our shower is broken again. Can't take this any more. So done.

Head is screaming bad. I hope it calms down.

Went on a walk yesterday. Spent time outside. Off to work. Whee.

My head broke around 1pm yesterday. Very grateful. Let's see if I can keep it going for a full day.

Took care of the lawn, went to the store, did C's laundry. Made pizzas for dinner. Overall it was a good day. Going to enjoy my day off.

8 days until a new year. 

Still raining out. Can't mow the lawn sadly. But I have one more shot tomorrow.

Spent the day inside. Rearranged the kitchen to fit all our containers. Did towels. Moved my desk to be more efficient for work. Made little chickens for dinner. Watched a movie. Went to bed around 1am.

The start of three days off. We were supposed to have Amici's last night but neither of us wanted to go out so we ordered in sushi. It started raining because of course it did. My first long weekend working and it's going to rain for most of it. But I will get more downtime in July. I sent out pre-invites to my birthday dinner. 6 people invited, 3 yes 1 no 2 maybe so far. I gave everyone notice because I want to go to a Brazilian steakhouse and that's not cheap. Giving everyone fair warning. Plus it's on a Monday night over a holiday weekend. I didn't expect 100% yes. 

Today I am going to work on the kitchen. Going to move some stuff around, clean some things out. I need to make room for all this stuff I have been getting at the sample store. Right now it's taking over our poor dining room table. Not cool.

I hope my head shuts up.

 Pressure is changing rapidly. Rain is coming in. And I am paying the price. Got my first paycheck. $200 difference BUT $107 of that was to my 401k. In reality I was about $120 less per check. I can make that work. Just have to be around long enough to get one raise and I should stabilize that. Now to pay bills and see how much it really hurts.

Read manuals yesterday. Same today. We had no water until about 6:15pm from 8am. Made burgers so I could minimize dishes and water needs. Went to the grocery store and spent $200 on food.

Just make it through today and I get three off.

11 days until we start a new year. 17 years I have been writing this. My ramblings and thoughts. Some day I will rpint it all out.

Had a good day yesterday. We had a vendor sponsored lunch at a local pizza place and it was a good social time for me. I got to meet some of the other people on the team I don't normally interact with, learned about them, shared small tidbits about myself, and opened up dialogs. Even though I am no good to the vendor, it was useful for me to go. I also scored points with my boss as I found a good set of documents to read the next few days.

Made chicken for dinner. Watched some tv, went to bed. Five days of no commute. Let me at it.

It came back yesterday on my ride in. The weather is all over the place again. Rain, hot, sticky.

Had my first 1:1 with my boss. Went well. I delivered more in three weeks than he had expected. I am doing okay. Went to the sample store and got some more stuff. Dinner was shawarna because my chicken didn't defrost. Went to bed.

My boss is finally back in the office. He was unavailable yesterday as he had over 600 emails to get through. But him and I are meeting at 9am today. This should be interesting. I worked on my scripts, did some reading, came home, made Birthday Dog her steaks, went to bed.
