Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Woke up a little late. Reviewed a bunch of PH project designs and specs. Met to go over the (lengthy) project design process, but I had a good attitude through most of it. Asked more PH spec questions in slack, then some PRs after 6pm. All of that to say, made zero progress on any of my own tickets.

Woke w/headache again. Should've had more water after last night's DDR.

Sprint prep, met w/boss and co-lead for decent discussion. Still a little doom-y. Survived gauntlet of sprint meetings.

Leftovers for dinner. Tried calling Dad, busy signals, emailed. YouTube. Lil' ONI to end the day.

Only put half the sprint together today. PH meeting in the middle of my day that offered no help. Sprint retro that felt like a wake.

Exhausted, had some Panera comfort food for dinner, and watched Jet Lag, then late night DDR to wring out any remaining nervous energy.

I want less stress at work.

Put out various Midnight prepatch fires in the morning, then sprint pre-planning and demos later. A whole lot of talking and I still don't know what we're doing. Gotta put together a sprint tomorrow, somehow.

Pizza for dinner. Watched Clarkson's Farm. Set up Undermine for Midnight, only to find...

Cleaned the snow off the Evo and took it to Dunkin. Company holiday, but caught up on some tickets for PH P2 and API docs. Finishing those, played some ONI.

Moe's for dinner. Some YouTube, then took the bird out since he took his treat barrel off its chain and threw it. 😅 Lil more ONI. In bed at 1!
January 20, 2026 at 6:17 AM
Didn't do shit today. ONI. Jesus.
January 19, 2026 at 8:11 AM
Stayed up late last night... slept in. Plowed driveway, did bills, played ONI. Considered putting shatari on GitHub, but didn't wanna clean it up. Wawa for dinner. Had to jump start the Nissan to move it when we got home - too many cars up in here. More ONI after that. Just no energy to do anything.

Not much done at work today, brain couldn't get in gear. Have Monday off, but plan to work a bit then anyway to make up for today. Had dept town hall, things not as bad as I feared but still not great. Just, ugh.

Jersey Mike's for dinner. Watched S1E1 of Starfleet Academy. Surprisingly not bad!

Worked on capstone talent support on the Midnight talent calc. Got Jira admin access (woo!) and cleaned up the new ticket screens.

Leftover Olive Garden for dinner. YouTube, and DDR. Man, not much going on.
January 16, 2026 at 6:08 AM
Wrote a handler for failing to reach nether subdomain. Finished BNet PH API documentation. Had 1:1 w/boss, feel less doom-y now. Blizz finally updated capstone talent nodes in beta, will have to fix soon.

Olive Garden for dinner, ice cream after. Jet Lag. DDR. Not a bad way to end a day.

On Tuesday, had a pretty depressing chat with a coworker on the state of... everything. Struggled to get much done that afternoon. Reviewed PRs and started documenting the BNet PH API. Very quiet at work.

Leftover sopes for dinner. Not much more to say.
January 14, 2026 at 7:06 PM
On Monday, variety of little things at work. Merged MV deployment, another decor list CSV, D4 live patch. Discussed bot control w/ops. Company is really trimming costs. Looking back at what ZAM once was, I notice the long decline.

Sopes w/cecina. YouTube still barren, Clarkson's Farm. Some ONI.
January 13, 2026 at 3:55 PM
Not much today. Took down Christmas lights outside. Cleaned, catalogued, and stored another few boxes of books. Started another ONI game but I'm not really interested in it. Soup at home for dinner. Played some DDR, it's been a while.
January 12, 2026 at 7:31 AM
Slept in. Set up Home Assistant on a new Pi so the blinds open/close on timers. HA seems to do a lot, but clumsily. Got a couple NVMe drives since Dad wants Linux and he should dual-boot, and Best Buy had pre-AI-shortage prices. Laundered towels. Instacart groceries. Red Robin dinner. YouTube.
January 11, 2026 at 5:51 AM
More model viewer deployment tweaks, from shower thoughts. Useful meeting with the FE team on player housing P2. Lunchtime walk in the rain. Removed old "fromClassic" querystrings to reduce crawler bot traffic.

Panera for dinner, then saw last-minute Christmas lights. A little YouTube. DS9 S03E02.
January 10, 2026 at 4:31 AM
Sprint planning/start meetings today. In between those, managed to get the model viewer deployment stuff into a pull request. Really satisfying to see that come together. Excited to see that all work better.

Local pizza for dinner. Wanted to hit Wegmans after, but too tired. Just some YouTube.

Spent all day prepping the tickets for the next sprint. No retro today. It was okay. Trying to decide how much of my pessimism comes from the season.

Five guys for dinner, donut *and* milkshake for dessert. Watched Jet Lag, then DS9 S3E01 reaction with TA. Done with ONI for a bit, I think.
January 8, 2026 at 6:46 AM
Didn't write any code today. Identified problems, wrote them as tickets instead of solving them. Reviewed and merged PRs and updated more tickets. Then I demoed our work to a silent room, and attended a meeting where I was asked to document obvious things and investigate unclear requirements.
January 7, 2026 at 4:50 AM
Good to see everyone back at work after the break, it was getting quiet. Jira is still a mess. Not much progress on the model viewer deployment process. Had to make a csv of all our videos for some reason. Stand-up is still busywork. Moe's burrito for dinner, then more ONI. Little YouTube, still.
January 6, 2026 at 6:58 AM
Added image resizing to my RSS reader so the mobile app works better. Then laundry and a whole lot of ONI. Also installed Windows 11 on a family member's laptop. Leftovers for dinner. Didn't even step outside today. Stayed up late watching Tron: Legacy alongside its uncut reaction video. Zzz
January 5, 2026 at 7:54 AM
Slept in. Breakfast, then caught up on bills. Then some ONI. Wawa for dinner, some YouTube, more ONI.

Wanted to set up the raspberry pi for the blinds this weekend, but it's not here yet. Oh well.

Kind-of a lazy Saturday, huh? I should read more.
January 4, 2026 at 7:57 AM
Woke up still headache-y. Quiet day at work: reviewed a couple PRs, fixed the status of my Jira tickets, added some housing build filters, improved markup performance, but failed optimizing my NGDP hashcache memory usage. Olive Garden for dinner, then a little YouTube, and a little DDR.
January 3, 2026 at 5:56 AM
Went to bed really late, insomnia anyway. Woke up at noon, plowed the driveway then installed the motorized shades in the living room. Went okay. Played a bunch of Oxygen Not Included. Had some soup for dinner, then watched some Jet Lag and Clarkson's Farm. Feeling headache-y not having slept well.
