Week 68: 2015-05-23 – Noob40

Week 68: 2015-05-23

A bizarre week. All set off by the car alarm going off at 6:00 on Sunday morning… Yeah, we were THOSE neighbors…  Overall a good week, with some good momentum, but I noticed that I’m easily disrupted from my routine, or rather yet, when I’m disrupted, it takes time to get back into the groove. I have to find how to fix this, and develop mechanisms to help me get back into it faster.

Words of the week:
  • IBS, ECM: What strange technical jargon for cars… IBS = Integrated Battery Sensor not Irritable Bowel Syndrom; ECM = Electronics Control Module, not Electronic Counter Measures…  It looks like the battery was drained, but caused by corrosion in the ECM.
  • Next Generation: A word that I both hate and love.  Overused as a business cliché (so is “Next Level”), and often provided without any details as to meaning. However it also refers to the hope of the next generation. I spent some time with a close friend and their newborn this week, and saw all the hopes that they have (yeah, I know… another cliché).
  • Hire vs. Hire: I’m finding a lot of possible leads but mostly people that want to hire full time as opposed to hire a consulting firm.  I have to find a solution to make it work for a short period of time.
Number of the Week:
  • 6:15: The start of Sunday, the start of the mess of this week.
