One step at a time
Jan. 17th, 2020 03:30 pmOnly now after typing it do I realize the irony of that title, because I'm making this blog entry instead of going out for a walk. Oh well!
So let's see. Yesterday, Thursday, was kind of a wild card. I basically spent the day reorganizing my data stores, and...not doing a whole hell of a lot else. I've been struggling lately with a filled-up hard drive, so yesterday I finally unboxed my new drive and started moving my archives and stuff around to free up space. It kinda turned into one of those, like...nested tasks? Like you know when you go to clean a room, say, but then you realize you should take the opportunity to reorganize a shelf, and that means first going through some pile of something. I don't know if that makes sense generally, but I'm sure certain people can related. ANYway, so I basically spent half the day organizing files and zipping archives and the other half playing Breath of the Wild while waiting for file operations to process. On the upside, I now have a lot more hard drive space to play around with, but on the downside, I got nothing else done. I'm still not all the way finished with the project, either; I have to redo my backups and all, but it was still a big step forward, so I'm not mad about it. It's just...the constant realization that everything takes longer than I initially think it will. :)
So today, Friday, my intention was a half day of officework and a half day of pods. It's shaking out to be more like...most of the day office work, and at this point, I'm not even convinced I'm gonna get to the pod mines before the day is out. Gonna have to chug a bit over the weekend, I'm sure. I'm also trying to make sure I get a blog post in, because Friday is one of the big days I always seem to put it off and then forget about it, and the weekend are always dicey in that department, too.
All in all, I feel like there's just not a whole hell of a lot to report from this week. Didn't make much job hunt progress, which is a bummer and all on me, but I'm gonna try and hit it next week. I can't let this turn into another one of those constant, "oh well, next week" things. But there's also plenty waiting in the wings for me in the pod mines, so...we do what we can. I think I'm overall doing better in maintaining and referencing a to-do list, but I feel like I'm slipping on the whole actually addressing things part. Ah, well, ever forward.
Not sure what the weekend will have in store, except that it'll probably involve a fair amount of pod editing. It damn well better, anyway! I got shit to do!
EDIT: I just remembered that T has off on Monday. So that'll be a thing, too.
