Things that make you happy as f***ing Barry

Finished college project last night. Woke up this morning realising there's something I just probably add, so took a quick look at it and realised there was something I hadn't spotted that I should analyse in it. So just spent the last 3 hours adding some great stuff to it.

It's either the best school/college/work thing I've ever done, or it's laughably bad and I don't know what I'm doing. The trouble with having lecturers who are actually experts in their field is that you can't bullsh*t them (unlike when I was actually in college years ago and some of the lecturers were learning what they were teaching us about 2 weeks ahead of us). But I'm happy with it for now anyway. If I'd applied myself like this in college, I'd be in exactly the same place I am now but maybe I'd have had a bit less imposter syndrome over the years.

Final module starts tomorrow. 6 more weeks, and I am f*cking done. I'm never learning anything ever again. I'm not even going to bother learning how not to finish rambling posts with non-sequiturs like how my neighbour eats apples.

Made bread yesterday for the first time. It's... okay actually. Not sure it's worth the effort considering you can just, y'know... buy bread. But it's okay. I'll not get onto Great British Bake-Off any time soon (and not just because of Paul "Hollywood" Hollywood's restraining order against me) but might try making a few more things.

Also, a piece of work I was doing on the side which I thought was dead because of the virus (as I hadn't heard from the clients, and more importantly, haven't been paid for the work I've done so far) has come up again. Client called me over the weekend and want to finish it off. At least it means I know I have a bit of extra money coming in.

And lastly, something I've been struggling with the last few months... I think I've kinda resolved within myself. I still need to talk to a therapist when life resumes and work on some stuff, but I see a bit of a path forward at least.

Also I'm just going to grow my beard back. F*ck shaving.

So yeah... decent enough weekend.

i saw a squirrel yesterday.

Seems like from next week, back on a 5-day working week, and in office every 2nd day (and home the rest).

I didn't mind working from home, but it will be good to get back into a better routine and being out of the house more. Also seems like while our business took a definite hit, we're in a fairly good position with more work coming in now, so should hopefully survive without any losses to personnel or paycuts or anything.
