Monday musings

I had written quite a bit about feeling the burn last week. Small and relatively easy tasks were just difficult to accomplish. I felt lethargic and my energy levels were just not there. Instead of fighting it, I decided to take Thursday and Friday off and I’m glad that I did. I feel much more like my normal self today.

Again, I need to do a much better job in making sure I don’t get to this point. Part of that is making sure that I don’t overdo it at work. Another part is making sure I take enough breaks throughout each quarter. Holding out for a vacation in a few months like I did previously was not the right answer.

I spent most of my Thursday and Friday visiting my high school friends up in Healdsburg. The combination of sun and friends was exactly what the doctor ordered. It’s always great hanging out with my high school friends who have an amazing perspective on life. They are far removed from the tech scene and the corporate rat race and hanging out with them always reminds me of what’s important in life.

It seems like GameStop is back as Roaring Kitty has resurfaced on social media. The stock is now sitting at close to an 80% gain. Memestocks are back it appears. I can’t believe I just wrote that and I look forward to watching this from afar. Grab your popcorn.
