SubscribeWhen you start the day with a 2000m swim it’s hard to be stressed about anything as the day progresses. Perhaps it’s just the subtle feeling of heavy muscles in the arms and shoulders, or it’s just being that bit more tired and mellow, but whatever it is I like it.
And the work day was one that would have caused stress if it could. A hot fix needed to be prepared, tested and released. The testing was going well but a couple of weird errors came up and had us chasing our tales up until 5pm, straight through lunch and the company all hands meeting.
End of the day though we did ship and I once again booted downtown at 5pm’ish. It wasn’t so bad though and I managed to get to Granville Island and on the dinner cruise ship without any problems and with plenty of time to spare.
Still I was pretty relaxed and not really in a party mode, but I had some great conversations and wound up driving someone new to the company back to the office. Turns out we’ve lived in a couple of the same cities, although at different times, and we had some good laughs chatting about that.
Packing now for Penticton and a LONG weekend of training. woo hoo!
