@codeFreedomRitr It was what you taught me that started me on this journey so I am thankful that YOU are in my life Natalie. 💛
(But also thank you!! I am ELATED you - someone I look up to from afar - feel that way 🥹)
@codeFreedomRitr I read once that everyone who comes into our lives were either a blessing or a lesson, and i see both as a gift in someone’s life.
Whatever role it is that I play in their lives, it makes me easier when I remind myself that I did that as authentically as possible.
@Apes2theMoon@bambkb I have. Kind of.
I lived in WA up until the last four years but this smoke smells different. I’ve never gotten sick from Cali wildfire smoke traveling up north but this?? It’s different.
Spent three hours talking about everything from A to Z with a friend from back at my home state today.
I haven’t done that in…. Whew, at least 5 years.
It felt great to just goof off.
@EmmaBostian How was the transition into the management role? What do you miss from when you were an engineer? I’m definitely going to have more but it’s 3am and my brain went to bed six hours ago. Following for updates!
@dabit3 “How it fucking feels to feel alive”, yes.
“How could someone like me complain”, no.
Reading that latter made me want to brew a cup of tea so we could sit and talk.
I hope whatever it is your going through; whatever it is you’re feeling, it’s real and it’s valid.
Almost did it again!
I got up and logged into my iMac.
Then I checked my emails and opened up my IDE - not to work but to study.
It was barely 6am.
Nope, nope, nope. I’m taking a break this week.
There are a lot of things I don’t do when my Husband is home:
mow the lawn, blow leaves from sidewalks, haul garbage bins up/down the driveway, and shoot targets with my son using his BB gun (we live in a forest).
One week down and I did all of that.
Today, I…
Studied TypeScript using LinkedIn learner’s platform + doc + an old project.
Just a couple of hours.
I think what I miss most is the challenge of creating solutions or debugging a complex issue.
Diving deep into this programming language replaced that void.
