Working On A Quirky Graph

This is the first weekend off with my new job. In fact, it is a 3 day weekend because in the States it is a holiday weekend. You can always tell it is a the summer in St. Lou because you are constantly questioning the booms you hear in the neighborhood. ‘Are those gunshots? Nope, look in the sky. The neighbors are firing off fireworks again.’ In fact, fireworks were being set off all night last night. I ended up turning on the white noise machine as well as the Rain sleep soundscape on the Headspace app just to escape the recurring booms. In fact, I’m lucky I downloaded that before I quit the coffee shop, as they pulled all my privilege’s from different apps, including Headspace and Spotify. So I’m spending the weekend cleaning up all those little pieces of information and websites. Closing my old accounts as I set up at least one of them with facebook. Since I’ve suspended that, I’m not overly interested in keeping up with any other information that can be fed into the site.

Of course, as I sit in front of the computer, my mind wanders to the coding I was attempting to do earlier in the week. Which, fyi, was almost a complete disaster. I got the basis of it, however, it wasn’t perfect. Not saying that anyone will use what I’ve put out, but the fact that I dropped money on a course and I’m struggling on what should be basics is making my mind stumble. So, in a clear bid to confirm my ability to remember fine details from a year ago are shot, I went ahead and opened my git bash today to only stare at the screen in complete horror as I could not remember the basics of signing in. And down the rabbit hole I went.

An hour later, I finally have successfully signed in, updated the bash, and navigated my desktop but damn. I’m disappointed in myself, frustrated that I’ve forgotten what was so important a year ago so easily and trying to determine if this will be my new project. I certainly don’t quite need to do this for the job, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to keep up with my education so I don’t lose everything I worked so hard for. I’m going to need to make a decision. My job is offering money toward continuing education, so it wouldn’t kill me to make sure I’m taking advantage of that.

Cleaning the computer also leads, in a roundabout way, to minor cleaning in the house. At least it should. I’m working hard on resisting which means not having to work hard on it at all.
