Medicated depression, day #213
I woke up 05:45 and listened to the radio news for a bit. Interactions led to son being grumpy, got him going anyway and he made his way to the bus in time.
Feels like I barely slept, I'll go to the office and do my hours, leave and go back home to rest.
Son just called me to say he was sorry for his behavior this morning, it'll be good when he has marinated on it for a bit.
I'll leave in a few minutes, just needed to sit for a few minutes to gather myself and think through the plan for the day, today there isn't any extra activities, yesterday I had to stay alert after work, to go to a parent-teacher meeting at sons school, being nice and helpful to people, met a few of sons former school mates parents who recently had moved their child to sons school, they had let the child decide about where to go and let the child go yet another year in a crappy school, before taking a decision above the child's head and do the right thing.
Ten year olds don't know everything, they do not have the capacity to make the necessary decisions like that, change school, they only have their friends in mind, while not thinking about the quality of teaching and learning at the school. It's crazy letting and 10yro decide, we made the decision after several incidents and indications of that the then current school wasn't up for task of teaching above grade 3, we choose to move son to another school where they seemed much more capable and more focused on each individual, where the old one were focused on "group", so any pupil requiring a little extra support would fall behind and they did not have the resources to support and go the extra mile.
Later: Almost narcoleptic now, I almost fell asleep sitting at my desk. 45 minutes till I leave the office, when I've done my two hours. Writing on an analysis of an application and the upgrade (several suggested paths) to a more modern approach, added a whole new track to it this morning, that I thought about yesterday after sharing the documents ..
Listening to Guns n' Roses, Gary Moore and other guitar shredders to keep awake, to keep writing.
Later: Interesting developments at the office, a colleague asked me if I was interested in joining his team, they do company wide internal support as of now but are aiming to also do supports within and towards external customers, they lack developers in the team, I'm a developer and have worked lots with infra and other related things. I'm thinking about it and liking it already.
Later: Came home. Slept for about an hour, went up to have lunch, had leftovers as we had lovely soup, ended lunch with a cup of coffee and a donut.
A short nap was nice, if I sleep longer I'll have trouble in the evening, now I'm a bit rested but still not too much, will sleep in the evening.
