this has been a week

i've barely been able to sleep this week, and i've been really tired. that's kind of been the theme of the week. here are a random selection of highlights and lowlights:

* i've been feeling uncomfortably overweight these days. maybe we should buy a scale. i feel like at this point in my life i should just accept that this is what my body is like.

* work: the work week was very frustrating, it would take until yesterday morning for our pipelines to be released and for me to finally put out the important and "urgent" work that i finished at least a week and a half ago.

* work: for my first time ever, i have options that have vested. this is cool! i hope they end up being worth something.

* work: i had a misunderstanding with my boss, and in a meeting on wednesday night i became upset and annoyed and intense. he handled me really well, but i felt (and still feel) shitty about it.

* aerospace: i had an hour long chat with an investor yesterday that went really well. it seems like everyone in this little circle is like-minded, cool, and technically solid - i hope the money question works out!

* mr smear: we finally got to see someone yesterday, and the experience was a bit awkward but i feel like they've got a good approach and attitude. mr smear started off completely uncommunicative, but slowly opened up; i was absolutely mortified (but giggled uncontrollably) towards the end when mr smear leaned back on his chair, lifted up his legs and let out a really loud fart.

* work: one of my coworkers is very quiet, and can be a bit of a dick. i review a pull request of his and he became defensive, dismissive and passive aggressive. i went back over the comments this afternoon to make sure that i didn't start shit, but even looking at it now it just seems like i'm dealing with the wrong kind of laziness.

* today's shoe-shopping experience has taught me that it's probably worth the extra cost of letting gd and mr smear do it alone. i'll put down good money to avoid that stuff if i can afford it.

* strip search: gd and i just finished the series, and it's been such a great trip the second time around - everything about the show, and the contestants, is just wonderfully affirming and inspirational!
