Medicated depression, day #857
My wife pushed me last night to apply for a ADHD-analysis for me, as she sees patterns with our son, but also same with me.
So I applied, but haven't got any response back, yet.
Work today was fun, before noon I did an extract of sorts, did manual sorting of data that was very unorganized, to be handed off to product owners for their processing. It is old crud in our systems that nobody has touched in years, which I'm now bringing to the surface, a little late spring cleaning, but whatever. The other half was spent doing my shift, solving tickets and connecting people who otherwise don't normally have contact even less talk to each other, but to solve the problems I arrange for them to have a dialog - many problems solved within 5 minutes by just talking.
I brought a colleague into a team that is usually only three people, he'll be the fourth member of the team from now on .. he has the preferred technical background and are familiar with the technique. But he's a bit rusty as he didn't work for about 4 years prior to join up with us last august. He'll hit the ground running, I'll make sure of it.
Have a workshop planned later this week, not too exited about that since it involves traveling, by train, it's only an hour away from my city but I'd rather not travel because it steals so much time .. but again, it is time I can report as "travel" while dozing off at a train.
My sleep is going up and down, fluxes wildly, sometimes I get 3-4 hours, other nights I get 8-9 hours .. but constantly tired, not matter how much or how little I sleep, only thing improved is that I usually won't fall asleep at work with 8-9 hours of sleep.
I dread the month change a bit, with the new month there is also some new laws going into effect, like salary transparency, I had a discussion with a colleague about the salary levels within the team and I said I had no clue about what others make in the team, he guessed that another colleague had about double his salary, as he came in from the development side of things .. as I did that too and I make a decent chunk of change too. I guess he will be pissed when he finds out how much we are, or maybe specifically how much I'm making .. as I guess he makes far less than me, even though he has about two university degrees and a crap-load of certificates, also he a bit younger than me, almost 10 years my junior.
I had the desire to write some code tonight, work on some of my projects but I'm far too tired to even think, thinking about going straight for a shower and then to bed.
