Drowning out the Jingles!

One more week and I’m gone.

Gone away from here, leaving on a jet plane to the PNW.

#homehome.

That’s where I’ll be for a week and then it’ll be back to the daily grind.

Unlike most other times when I’m up north, I’ll be working remotely.

There’s quite a bit of sites to move and I need to get on them.

It’ll be a lot of work, but I’m hoping that everything goes smoothly. Here’s to hoping, right?

Hope hope.

Maybe maybe.

We shall see.

I would definitely say I wouldn’t be bored while I’m up there. I’ll be drowned out in whatever music or M’s background videos while I punch away in front of the laptop.

Migrating migrating.

It’ll be fun.

Maybe

Scheduled another float session for tomorrow.

I’ve been trying to take care of my mental health and my general health overall since who knows when. The float sessions calm me down so much; I decided that it should be a regular thing.

Once a month and tomorrow will be my second month in a row. I’m looking forward to it.

The stress of work gets to me and I want to relax; especially now knowing that I’ll be working through most of my break. I don’t mind, again, I wouldn’t be doing much up north anyway. It’ll be a good distraction and plus, I’ll get overtime.

I think a lot of the stress with what’s happening is not about the workload, it’s about the decisions that I have to make. It’ll affect everyone.

I know I have help and input from others, but there are times when I’ll have to make an executive decision on certain things, like procedure and structure and I hope that it works well for everyone.

There are a few things that I am unsure of, but I make choices that I think make sense. They may make sense to me, but not to the masses and these are the general anxieties that I go through with this.

I know that we have a new person to help with SharePoint, but I’m trying to shield him away from the mundane training. He has more important things to focus on, like migrating old sites to new SharePoint. That is where his attention should be.

I need to clear my mind and not let work get to me.

I’m the type of person that wears my heart on my sleeve. Anyone can tell exactly what emotion I’m going through. I don’t hide it well.

I find it funny that there are times when I’ll be walking the floor, I’ll get an email and it’s either annoying or some stupid shit that I have to deal with or something larger and I take a big breath and sigh loudly and those around me will be like “whoa“.

Yeah, to say I let things get to me is an understatement.

It’s something that I’m learning to not do.

I still have a lot of growing left to do. I still have a lot of learning left.

It’s never ending.

Never ending.

My mind wanders today.

It’s not here, on the page, but at work and the logistics that I need to figure out.

It focuses on the big picture of SharePoint and the minutia of how everything times together.

Work.

It’ll be the death of me.
