Work
I’ve been exploring new opportunities and surprised how low the response rate is from companies who are recruiting. It’s clear theres a lot of automation, but it seems recruitment is not an industry that cares much for their reputation.
Pulling my portfolio together for people who don’t seem to accept that I’ve been doing this for over 25 years and the places that I’ve been leading teams is not good enough. It’s seriously challenged me. It feels lame having to put screens of products into devices. Then writing case studies feels dumb, because lets be honest, who reads case studies?
Personal
The uncertainty of my visa situation has me all stressed out. I love living here in Thailand and I had not anticipated leaving so soon.
I’ve struggled to enjoy going to gym for the past few weeks. I go, but not daily and I get bored so quickly I barely do 30 minute workouts. I don’t feel any weaker, but I just don;t enjoy it anymore. I know I have to do it, but I’m doing it reluctantly.
My nutrition is suffering too. I haven’t had much of an appetite, probably the stress. But I’m feeling it. I know these are times when you need to take better care. But I am not. I’m need to do better.

Those about to die is a great series about the workings of ancient Rome.

Making
I built the Lego City Burger Truck, set #60404 just because it was there. I did not record it,I just did it for fun and it really was a pleasant build.
