Researcher was my role today

Today I must say definitely qualified as one of those days in which I felt I didn't get a great deal done but from a different viewpoint I was able to accomplish a great number of things today. I woke up at the usually time today and proceeded with my regular morning task. From that point I spent a brief moment at the computer and make my way to work. Traffic was a bit heavier than anticipated and as such the arrival time was about 5 minutes later than originally anticipated which resulted in me being late for my meeting. Though the meeting was with another co-worker and he didn't seem to mind.

Recently my co-worker had been attending the training sessions for the last 6 months so it was essentially myself on the team but due to my diligence after the last report that was provided to my team lead two more members were added to the team. The second individual also was in a 6 month training program and hadn't been exposed to our IT environment as of yet. Which brings me back to the context of the meeting which was to find easy work for the new individual to attend.

From that meeting there was another meeting which followed shortly after discussing what releases I had to attend to this week. Last week's bit of work was taking longer than anticipated and as such resulted in low turn over for this week which was understandable. Upon the completion of this meeting there was a 3rd one scheduled about an hour after it which also appeared to go smoothly.

For the remainder of the day not a great deal of actually work was done as most of my task revolved around what work was currently outstanding and what would be the best way of approaching it. Assuming that all goes well then the number of tickets that can be completed this month will be a great deal higher.

Left work at about 5 and arrived home around 5:30 to 5:45ish. At this point I proceeded to catch up some e-sport streams that I wasn't able to catch over the weekend. The event I was watching was streaming two tournaments at a time so had to pick and choose. Dinner consisted of hot dogs and tater tots. During dinner/stream (rather between matches) I took the time to begin reading through the "Dragon Age RPG rule set". One of my friends is interested in GMing a paper and pencil (P&P) of the game and I'm always up for trying new stuff so figured why not. Its essentially a water downed version of D&D (more so D&D 4.0 than 3.5 and 3.0) so it should be pretty straight forward.

With the stream being complete and filled my brain with as much Dragon Age rule set that I saw fit I proceeded to update my budget and play a small bit of isotropic (board game version of Dominion online). Which brings me to this point of updating my blog. Though I shall conclude my blog here tonight as a) I've covered my day and b) I've made a list of task I wish to attend to this week and I have about 30 minutes left to attend to one of them.

Off to bed good night!
