First few days back to work are always a slog of meetings mostly in Japanese. They've been doing a better job about projecting real time machine translation in addition to our few brave bilinguals trying to translate in a Google doc.
Today, Saturday, was for some fucking reason scheduled as a mandatory work day for which were getting a comp day next Monday, so even though nothing was scheduled we had to use PTO to take today off. After a little reluctance, I did.
I'll get granted my new bank of PTO days for the year soon.
Monday will also hopefully be just a peaceful admin work day. I hope.
I've still been having weird mood shifts that I can't quite identify the reason for. Transition and change are hard even when their content is neutral.
Haven't had as much luck being creative for the past few weeks. Felt an inkling of drive today but after some voice call socialization with my couple closest friends, I just feel like it's nap time. Tomorrow is Easter, and I would like to go to church. Wish I had a cute outfit but that would be too much effort unless I discover that something I have is cute.
I always get sick around Easter, and these past couple weeks I keep getting a phlegmy cough. Maybe this explains some of my mood issues too: fatigue from minor illness? I don't have official allergies.
Right now I feel pretty okay but wish I felt like making progress on games or creativity. I also just enjoy the quiet and peace to listen to documentaries or nothing at all and wrap up in blankets since I don't get actual human touch.
Written on mobile so not proofread. I can read what I'm writing, but these are letters for ants.
