Work's dialled up a notch recently; with two of my colleagues on holiday and a bunch of huge new projects, it's been a tight squeeze. Managed to get pretty much everything done that was thrown my way - had to log time to 21 different projects last week. People sometimes wonder why I have a system for pretty much everything work-related. Weeks like this is exactly why - systems help deal with complexity, robust systems help with complexity even under pressure. Anyway, I'm off to Austria tomorrow. Our yearly company skiing trip is finally happening. I'm stoked, the skiing lessons I took have helped a ton in gaining confidence and actually teaching me how to ski properly. Gonna go to Austria by muthafuckin' high speed rail. Looking forward to hubski-ing at 350kph.
