Working remotely in an odd timezone ain't the one. Like you honestly end up working more hours. I'm doing 12 to 14 hours daily and I couldn't even tell you why lol well I know why but you know what I mean. You end up connecting more with your local team after doing a shift so you end up doing 2 shifts a day. Your regular 9 to 5 then another 4/5 hours. Which isn't great but surprisingly I have the stamina and capacity to do so. As you know I barely work 9 to 5 locally 😂😂
Luckily I have one day left and then I will truly enjoy my holiday! I can't wait. Working remotely with hours in the time difference ain't the one. Such a major inconvenience.

Isn't it kinda amazing. How as soon as you break from your regular scheduled programming how productive you feel. Like I'm on a break far away from home, and I'm waking up earlier, sleeping (kinda) better and working out even feeling the urge to do so. I know I keep going on about it but I'm just as shocked as you are.
It's very much unlike me as some of you know by now. Hell I'm even writing this unprompted so make of that as you will 😂 but it's fun. I like this, I'm hoping this habit translates well once I return home. I rather not slump back to old habits.

It's odd. It's been a busy couple of weeks. I now sit over 7000 miles away from my home. Working. Still working. That much hasn't changed but it's odd. All my daily tasks and activities all stopped last Wednesday. Which is a bit of an oddity. Now I'm back and getting shit done. Even tho I'm working life feels a bit freer I'd say over here. I woke up and ran which I've ever done in my life. 6am start to my day feels a bit insane when I type it quitely to myself lol. It's approaching the middle of the day and it feels like it's going quick!
Idk how to handle of this. Life is so much more productive when you don't have end users interupting you every 3 seconds lol

I've noticed as I've gotten older my ability to deal with stress is slowly getting worse. It's natural when you're young to not care about things, as the impact is quite minimal. But I feel when you're older and as you gain more to lose, and so on and so forth you become that much more inadequate to deal with things. Like I want to be better equipped but sometimes life moves so fast it certainly doesn't feel that way and you'll eventually get through it and it may or may not work out but you feel oh that wasn't THAT bad but when you're going through it, it feels as if the stakes are higher.
Idk. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but when you become response for an additional person and moreso, it at times feels harder to deal with. I've become less belligerent and more understanding. Perhaps to a fault. But yeah.
Idk.
I'll just be vaguer and nonsensical next time.

Again. 2 days. I don't know what it is. Yesterday I was working from home and boyyy I was on a roll. I was working on shit for work then I was homelabing tf out of my new setup. I've almost finished setting things up, then I got my Gemini pro limit (I'm assuming for the month?? Or day??) It's honestly made life so much easier, the perfect assistant and it's creating documentation for me on the fly so fucking amazing! Things that would have taken me months I'm managing to hang out in days.
But yeah back to the office today and it is suuuper dead honestly, idk why I'm here but is what it is. I can work on some shit and fix on some other shit. I hope to post more often until I close the gap but honestly it's going to be a busy weekend.
So until next time.
#TalesOfTheInbetween
Okay. I've managed to close the gap to only 2 days since the last post. I am trying to back fill these posts which you think would be easy but it's not. It's not that I don't want to write shit but sometimes I do forget, or it's a lack of free time I'd say. Either way it's just an excuse which I really need to straighten up.
Also random thought. Aren't toilets just weird like especially here, where I am. Just give me some water to wash my ass. It's not that hard!! Honestly pisses me off. Ontop of that no soundproofing. The poor folks near me hearing the grotesque sound of the waste exiting my ass.
So yah I am trying to figure out a new writing schedule; something like 3 days a week for me is perfect I feel. So here's hoping I manage that difficult task!
#TalesOfTheInbetween
Where does the time go. It's already been 4 days since my last post and I swear to you I do think about writing and uploading but I get so distracted and busy the moment is gone. It's actually insane, I do need to tie the ol'camel and make note of the fact that I need to get this shit done.
Here's to a full week of posts my boy!
#TalesOfTheInbetween
As I lay here awake.
Until to meet my maker.
Perhaps in a state.
In which I am not worthy.
I offer forgiveness and humbleness.
But perhaps I am not worthy.
Rest evades me.
As my eyes become hollow.
Knowing full well what comes tomorrow.
It's almost as if I cross the barrier into an unknown realm.
Marred by insomnia.
As I lay here aware.
Are you able to relate.

Honestly getting injured is such an inconvenience, it's been 3 days going onto 4 and damn still not 100%. On top of all of this I can't even rest from home because work is so bloody busy.
I should be back to my normal routine by Thursday and full health by the weekend. One can be hopeful so gotta keep an eye on things.
#TalesOfTheInbetween
Isn't it a bit frustrating. You're starting to get into a bit of a hot streak then BAM something happens, which just derails the momentum that you're beginning to build. Starting working out again. Building up a good consistent routine then I get a random injury. I kinda know the root cause but no, it's got nothing to do with working out again – I would do well to stretch more – a random act of life, a series of random events leading up to an injury. Now I'm kinda sidelined for maybe a few days. Maybe a week. Honestly who knows but let's play it ear by ear.
It's going to be a very quiet and wet weekend.
Because of the rain. You dirty bastard.
