did nothing week
This week I really felt like I didn’t get anything done. I was not working for more than half of the week because I spent a couple days out sick. Passed out sick. Testing for covid was negative, but even so, not-covid was unpleasant.
During the nothing was done week I:
-
translated two talks to German ( still need to incorporate improvements from a friend who proofread them for me )
-
created and gave a new talk showcasing tech podcasts
-
led an organizing meeting for SeaGL
-
contacted several potential sponsors for SeaGL
-
picked up a couple sponsors ( but still need to add them to the site )
-
converted this content from paragraph to list in the middle because it was getting long :)
-
ran a local group meeting
-
cleaned my physical desk
-
hosted a local Stammtisch ( virtual, so I didn’t expose anyone )
-
hosted an intercontinental Stammtisch ( also virtual because intercontinental )
I also managed to continue not feeling well, much better, but not yet unbad. Life is blurry. All while needing to debug, then remove a pool pump while living in a data center. The latter was the industrial water mitigation fans running for most of a week after a plumbing leak.
If you’re reading this, I also managed to finally write another blog entry :) If you’re not reading it, maybe I deleted it.
I did have a half-day, but I’d only half recovered, so spent my afternoon time off time mostly sleeping. There was also a holiday, so overall not much dayjob in the last week. I’m lucky I could take sick days without repercussions.
When I wasn’t sleeping or too foggy to think or in family time I was too busy getting things done to see getting things done. I sometimes notice 2bgtd2cgtd when I’m really productive. It was interesting to have a week of fog, then look back an realize I actually did get some stuff done.
It wasn’t much ( and I know plenty of people who get lots more done for the FLOSS community ), but it was way more than the nothing it felt like. It was a good reminder to be greatful to everyone in the FLOSS community for their efforts! Thank y’all, keep being fantastic!
Gonna go enjoy one of the podcasts I mentioned in my talk and embrace the fog of naptime. Have a great local time of day!
