04:53 whaack diana_coman: EOD Report: G: Reviewing my article I caught the error in "He found prespective deals". WTI: I will continue to keep a watchful eye for errors where I accidently use a similar sounding / similarly spelt words. But more importantly I will focus on selecting the right words in the first place. B: I didn't read my plan for today in the morning and had forgotten I had set aside a chunk of
04:53 whaack time to handle misc tasks. WTI: I will start each day by reading my plan for the day and create a schedule assigning the tasks to specific windows of time.

13:17 diana_coman http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2020-02-16#1018474 - reading/looking at the plan sounds like a basic requirement, lolz; the detailed schedule/assignment of tasks afterwards is entirely up to you - it sounds a bit overkill to me but if it works for you, then fine.

~ 3 hours 47 minutes ~
17:04 whaack diana_coman: The more important part is doing something active when reading the day's tasks in the morning. Today I reviewed my TODO list and further specified the tasks I had setout for myself.
17:10 diana_coman sounds sensible.

17:35 lobbes diana_coman: my sticky note reminded me to tell you that I've nothing specific to discuss at our standing meeting today if you've nothing. I'll be working on yardwork and botworks
17:35 * lobbes bbl food
~ 18 minutes ~
17:53 diana_coman lobbes: are you happy with how this week turned out? looking at your previous review and hm, no plan, it doesn't seem all that great - the q is: do you have a clear idea what you'll change so that next week improves at least?
17:54 * diana_coman will be awk for ~1 hour
17:54 diana_coman afk, lol
~ 1 hours 22 minutes ~
19:17 diana_coman lobbes: see q above.
19:18 diana_coman jfw: how's the blog writing/review/plan ?
19:20 lobbes re: the plan for last week, I kinda wove it into the review, though maybe this upcoming review I will separate it.
19:20 lobbes My goal for this last week was to get the garage clean, get the hoster nailed down, and then either start setting up the new server or getting the auctionbot fix complete depending on if the server is provisioned. I managed to get garage clean, and hoster is secured. If I get the fixes to auctionbot complete today I will be on track
19:20 lobbes Only target I wasn't hitting was my waking up on time, so I'll plan with this in mind with today's review
19:22 diana_coman lobbes: ah, the additional stuff fallen by the wayside for you was from previous week even, huh.
19:23 diana_coman lobbes: anyways, if you pack them both in one place, then change the title accordingly or something, not like it's forbidden.
19:23 lobbes diana_coman, roger that
19:23 lobbes I'll make it a "review/plan" then, simple enough!
19:23 diana_coman lobbes: are you happy otherwise with the balance saltmines/you work there?
19:23 lobbes diana_coman: no, definitely need to find a new saltmine. Getting unbalanced
19:24 diana_coman lobbes: so at the current rate/plan, when do you estimate you get around to focus on that or how do you see it?
19:25 diana_coman you know, in general lines you should have at least some idea over the longer term too
19:26 lobbes diana_coman: the way my current saltmine is, the first two weeks of each month I have ~4 deadlines to meet (reporting cycles). So I can focus more in the 2nd half. Long term though..
19:26 jfw diana_coman: I've been making progress on the blog article, but slowly, and not like it's going to be some kind of masterpiece for the time. And I'm laughing out loud at how predictable this situation is.
19:27 diana_coman dorion: do you want/prefer to set explicitly some standing meeting too?
19:27 lobbes diana_coman: I need to give some thought to the long term indeed.
19:27 diana_coman jfw: making your own fun there! heh
19:29 diana_coman lobbes: trouble is that "can focus more in the 2nd half" of every month and then tired from the first half and so on, and next you know a year passed and you barely moved otherwise; it sounds rather life draining to me, tbh.
19:30 diana_coman jfw: no masterpieces required anyway, as you well know; but what's exactly stopping you from going faster anyway?
19:32 diana_coman whaack: what's the status with the irc project? in between all the details, the elephant got rather lost or so it seems?
19:33 lobbes diana_coman: yeah, it is slowly burning me out. Ok, I will make sure I make stick to some clear deadline on escape from that situation too
19:34 diana_coman lobbes: how do you plan to escape though? esp since you say you'd rather not go on this sort of things without a plan, no matter what.
19:38 jfw diana_coman: at least on this one I seem to be getting sidetracked on details; looking things up, looking closer at the photos, whether anything comes of it or not
19:39 lobbes diana_coman: Well, atm I've been beginning to train some people on the specific portions of the work I do because I am moving on to some new project.
19:39 lobbes In general I hate leaving places high and dry with no one trained on what I do (even if the company sucks, I usually like the people I work with and don't like fucking them over), so in a few months I'll already have people trained and I'll be kinda in a place to take off
19:39 diana_coman jfw: that sounds more like enjoying the photos/details/topic so ...not bad in itself at all, why not, but why does it have to be instead of writing rather than part of your leisure reading or similar?
19:40 lobbes meanwhile I figure I can just focus on keeping an eye on the remote market (making notes this time) and then start applying for stuff once I get to that point of people being trained
19:42 diana_coman lobbes: well, that sort of training though sounds precisely the type you do over lunch/dinner/social meeting with those people though and at their asking you nicely; because it's one thing to not let *them* being fucked over and another thing entirely to not let high and dry the biz that is otherwise draining you.
19:44 lobbes diana_coman: I can see your point
19:44 diana_coman I really don't see why and how that has to do with the work there; talk to them and let them know that you are available for *them*, sure; after all, you can't have a sane relationship with an institution.
19:44 whaack diana_coman: I applied the fixes that address the problems in the first run and I tested a bot running/logging on my new machine. One task I had setout to do this week (have a way to determine which channels I'm currently connected to) did not get completed but it is possible I can get it done tonight. I think that there is a gordion knot solution to the problem, I can run TheFleet inside of the
19:44 whaack repl in a tmux on my vm, and then just reconnect via ssh/attaching to see the status of my program.
19:45 diana_coman lobbes: for that matter, if you tell them privately that you *have to go* and they have a problem with that because oh noez their own ass, then I really don't see the point in all this "gotta not let their ass down"
19:46 jfw diana_coman: the effort to write about them was what motivated the study, so they're intertwined in a way. I take it I should better separate them somehow
19:46 diana_coman whaack: all right.
19:46 lobbes diana_coman: makes sense. Okay I'll drop this 'have to wait until they are trained' idea. I'll focus instead on just applying to places asap
19:46 diana_coman jfw: if it works better mixed then simply plan it over leisure+writing time, that's all.
19:47 jfw diana_coman: ah ok
19:48 diana_coman lobbes: yes; essentially you can't quite afford that "nice guy" carelesness about yourself that is, btw, pretty much the way you get trained to fuck yourself over.
19:49 diana_coman if you sink, you won't be in any position to help anyone else at any time, anyway; for the obvious.
19:49 lobbes that's true; if I lose agency then I can't do any good for anyone
19:49 diana_coman (and for the possibly not-obvious to the naive: none of those thus helped will "have time" to get you out of that sinking either).
