A good day at work

New jobs are always an interesting challenge for me. For the job I took in moving to Scotland, I am eager to perform well but have been wrestling with a variety of technologies that are new to me and poorly documented. An additional impediment has been my working from Apple silicon instead of Linux x64.

Today I faced some sparse third-party documentation and used it to write and push some half-plausible code. This is most pleasing and feels like a turning point toward actual productivity. While I appreciate the faith shown by those who hired me, I do like to reassure them by tangible work product that they chose well.

Working nights from Metro Manila complicates the task a little but not too badly. Last night (afternoon) was unusually restless for me but, on finding myself rather awake, I simply got some work done. I didn't feel too bad after R. kindly let me sleep through to nearly 9pm before I started my workday properly.
