reaching 3 months mark

time flies, almost 3 months into the job.


But I'm starting to feel some frustrations because of the lack of the ability to do certain things due to the tools and infrastructure.

Can't believe productionizing a table could take so much time and effort, it used to take me a couple of minutes to do so after the script was written and checks were done.

Not sure how long i could last

no sports for this year

But I'm feeling a little sad after absorbing the news for a couple of hours now. No sports for the next 6 months. The ops has a 75 to 80% successful rate. Doesn't seems high enough.

Should I get a second opinion? I should research more details about it, I guess.

Sad..Gonna a have workout plan without aggravating my knee.

Feeling terrible now. My throat hurts like mad. Each time I drank water, it started to burn afterwards. Wasn't able to sleep the entire ...
