JOURNALS

Tuesday was one of those meeting-heavy days that always makes me wonder if I'll get anything done. Started the morning with a plan to tackle the zine printing and make progress on the dashboard for work.

The zine printing was pretty straightforward - just setting pages in the printer again. I suspected the printer would run out of ink today, but I figured I'd just keep feeding paper and see how far we got. Not much I could do beyond that really.

Between meetings, I managed to work on the data lifeboat dashboard. It's going quite well, though I didn't finish it as much as I wanted to. There are some weird edge cases, but I'm not too bothered about them since we're replacing the code anyway. It's basically just swapping my badly written code that doesn't quite work with good code that will work properly.

Had a quick lunch break around 1 o'clock, then straight back to the data lifeboat stuff. By mid-afternoon I'd made decent progress before my next meeting, though not as much as I'd hoped. Still, it's good enough for now.

The most satisfying part of the day was just sitting down and getting on with the coding. There's something really nice about those moments when you can just focus without interruption.

The printer actually managed to get through all the zine pages, which was a nice surprise. I won't be able to cut them up today though - that'll have to wait until tomorrow.

The weather's been lovely - perfect temperature. It's that sweet spot where it's not too hot or cold. Makes me wish I could spend more time outside, but with three meetings packed into one day, that wasn't happening.

At least I've got the dashboard to a decent place. Not perfect, but workable. Sometimes that's all you can ask for on a Tuesday full of meetings.
