Tommy tested positive for covid at school today. All of his friends, those he continued hanging out with even though they had covid, have had covid, so it's pretty much been inevitable. I was having a shitty frustrating workday when this came to light, which immediately changed my perspective. It was a good reminder about priorities. I am getting past issues with accessing Tableau online is not enough to warrant my wasting time being irritated over. Considering my age and decades of programming, it's still hard to live conscious of that, and likely always will be, but at least I seem to catch it quicker. So, there's now covid in 'da house, and we'll see what comes of that. I'd like not to get sick, and I'm hoping the vaccines and boosters make it easier if I do. Jen's already referred to feeling poorly, but we'll see where that goes too. My workday was reasonably decent, but I feel responsible for a whole hell of a lot lately, and it's hard to ramp up and keep up with the breadth of tasks. At least I feel engaged, and that's been valuable to me and others. I worked the am from Panorama to get a change of scenery. Jen made Keto enchiladas that were delicious. After dropping off Lauren and snagging more coconut creamer for my coffee needs, I dove into work again with loud rock playing on the earpods and worked through a set of slides for tomorrow's all-hands. It was a great feeling and took me back to Apple and TiVo when I would do the same. Until tonight I thought I'd lost that ability to focus on music, but… I guess it's still an option.
