Week 10

This week was pretty boring, not much to be done at work. Just prepping design documentation. Occasionally I would get told of some changes to the requirements, I'd adjust code, and then a couple hours later, they would be like "scratch that, we're going back to the original." Really annoying. I think I'll just cleanup all the documentation for now, and not do any of those changes until its been completely finalized. I've been developing stuff for half the interface, and the other half wasn't even started yet, which is why all the changes keep happening. Now I'm going to just wait for them to finish and then clean up after. /rant off

This week, there have been lots of developments. I was contacted by a recruiter at a pretty big company. Normally for all the recruiters that contact me (recently there have been a large influx) I've just told them that I started a new position recently, but this time... they big. So I'm studying again, and I feel like I've degraded a lot. All this sitting around working on front end hasn't been great for my algorithm and data structure knowledge. I took a couple mock coding assessments, and they haven't been too great. I'm hoping in the next couple weeks I'll be back on my game. (easily doable if I actually make time to practice).

Gyming has been pretty good. After switching to the push/pull/legs schedule, I am not getting lazy with legs. Almost dropped the bar during squats this week, but I tried to jump straight up to where I was before (when I was still doing legs twice, and didn't take a month break). No injuries so I'll take it a little slower. Today I really felt the soreness though. Which I guess is good. I just need to make sure I'm eating enough to recover (and hopefully get stronger).

Also lots of developments on my keyboard! I decided on the size I want, and I've found a seller for the color and a decent quality case I want. A little more expensive than waiting for a restock (since I'm hoping to buy from someone instead of the shop), but I don't really want to wait 2 months for production and shipping from China. In the future I might want to spend more on a really really nice one, but probably not for the foreseeable future.

Tuesday Volleyball League. Another 2-0! We broke the 1-1 curse, and this time it was against one of the higher standing teams! Our team is now tied for first I think. (although point differential might make us second?) I played super well, and bounced around the 10ft line! Might have been behind it, but it felt really good. Also there were no blocks and it was a really tight/high set. I would have gotten stuffed if anyone blocked me 😂

Overall, looking back on the week I guess it would be pretty positive. Other than the slight annoyances at work, being bored and having nothing real to work on, everything else has been pretty good. I also shouldn't expect work to be great anyways since... it's work, so eh.
