Week 40

I'm typing this through a fog of exhaustion and melancholy due to some extreme child behaviour over the past 24 hours, so it may have a negative tinge that doesn't necessarily represent the week as a whole.

Business

Finished up the last sprint and did the ceremonies and whatnot and it was all good. Unfortunately we didn't get to actually release the updates we finished. Due to complications with another piece of work that absorbed what little backend / devops respurce we had, it was deemed too risky to do another release in tandem. Which is fine.

So that was Monday and Tuesday. I need to get more granular with these entries don't I? Weeknotes are supposed to serve a specific purpose - it's not just a diary. Well, I can't remember anything meaningful and if I made notes I can't be bothered reviewing them so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Wednesday was all the sprint ceremony stuff, where I was very effusive about the sprint of course. We did planning for carbon calculator stuff but it turned out that the steering committee wants to outsource that instead, which is fine by me. Between replanning and my flexiday that was kind of it - bit of a nothing week.

Pleasure

Messing about with handheld gaming devices, mostly, playing some retro games and some TOTK - same as last week.

I probably need to vary my diet of leisure activities a bit, but between work and kids, the normal household chores and the additional DIY jobs associated with the loft conversion I don't have the time, space or energy.

Maybe I'll set myself a goal of doing another minicomic before the end of October.
