Week Notes, 2025-10-19

Weekly Features from October 13th - October 19th:

📉 It was a comedown week after last weekend's Triangle Trip. I needed a few days to catch up with personal emails and RSS feeds, let alone the 450+ messages(!) at work. Most of my week was tied up with work projects, so it was a productive time if not a creative time.

🖨️ The time at work was taken up by two separate printer projects, with the easier one being a new naming system for some print queues in Epic. The longer and harder project involved changing IP addresses for over 70 printers at a hospital location, so several teams (including Epic) were working to make this happen. There's never a real "down" time at a hospital, so there's no way to schedule the IP change for off-hours. Instead, the thinking here is that if problems come up due to a change, more folks will be around to fix it during "regular" hours than otherwise. Both projects were tedious in their own ways, but all were completed with very little consequences.

🐔 I went into the office for a few hours on Friday 10-17 to meet with the team. We managed to complete a few tasks together before and during lunch, which marked my first-ever time eating at Raising Cane's. Verdict: it's okay, but it's still just chicken fingers.

😵 After my time in the office, I attended a members-only party for Side Project. There were plenty of high ABV beers and meads to try, and I thought I had paced myself well enough to make it through the event. Turns out I would have been better served had I went home after the party ended at 9 PM...but I ended up at the Cellar afterwards and didn't make it home until 11. Saturday 10-18 was rough, and I blame myself for the bad hangover I experienced. I'm getting too old for this, you know? At least as I write this on Sunday 10-19, I feel like I'm almost fully recovered.

⏸️ Still hitting Pause on explaining my media consumption.
