Mar 05, 2026: hard hat
We hit the final checkpoint for lulu's wedding and we've hit the thirty day mark. I've got some things I still gotta figure out.
Eek.
While I was dropping some positive feedback for Vivien on tcdb, I realized that the TCDb Trade app was going through it on the mobile version, and, well, it's better now. No more extra borders.
Let it breathe.
Iterate.
A nice simple deal completed. I send out some racing cards and I get back some rando PC items.
Who woulda thunk that Don Maynard would show up today? Not this guy, that's for sure. What a name: Don Maynard.
Even though Bobby and I don't cross trade paths as much as some, 5 deals ain't nothing to sneeze at. Always helpful. Glad to get him some Andretti cards.
I landed on a tour of one of our manufacturing facilities this morning and had to gear up.
Tons of learning, plenty of networking, and I even ran into a former, and I guess current, co-worker at the place that shall not be named. After that conversation, I think that brings us up to 3 conversations across 2 organizations. Sharp fella.
Work is starting to wear down my built up reserves. While I'm sure this was bound to happen to some degree, I'm going to need to start to build some process around keeping me sane. I guess this project is the majority of that effort. If I write it down, I can let it go.
Here's the thing that I can't ever figure out how to handle long-term: what makes me the most successful - sincere human contact with as many people as possible - is also the thing that makes me want to crawl into a hole and never emerge again. I can help. I feel compelled to help. All while I wish you would help yourself. For cripes sakes, I make myself miserable, why do you need my help? lol
Enough whinging.
Net positive day.
