Thursday was very squishy. I was quite irritated at a problem I was facing at work related to Rubocop, namely, they changed how configuration files are read. That’s fine, but it wasn’t well documented, and it took me hours to figure out. Then when I fixed it, it actually found hundreds of problems nobody noticed because it wasn’t checking the code properly!
So then I had to spend hours fixing all those problems…
Then I went “home” (I work remotely but I have a separate room in the flat where I work, and also sometimes I use a cowork thing), and I had to fight with a label printer that wasn’t working right. It was not a good day for Spots.
But then Uber went really well. I had great fares, and the people were really nice! I had a late shower and it felt nice to wash the week off. Then I had some conversations with three different friends. It was super nice. And one of them made a dream of sorts come true. Perhaps I should explain. When I was younger, I used to dream of being a good writer, and having people want to work on story ideas with me. I know how much it means to me when I want to work with someone else, so for someone else to want to do that with me, it really touches my heart. And one of my friends wants me to work on their story idea! It made me feel so happy.
I don’t work at the Library on Friday for the US holiday, so I’m hoping it’s going to be a lovely three-day weekend. It’s already turned around and started to be quite a nice one after all.
