totchipandaBeen a blah week. Tuesday was blah (i barely remember it) and we had nachoes for dinner, Wednesday was blah (I barely remember that too) and neither of us wanted to eat anything we had in the house so we ordered in, Thursday was blah (remember more of it bc it was yesterday) and M needed a costco trip so we went out for that (she had poutine, I had ice cream). I finished one fingerless mitt except for the thumb, and as I went to pick up the stitches for it, I discovered that one of my needles was missing. DAMNIT it was right there 10 minutes ago, I swear!
Needle still missing after a 5 minute search of the couch cushions so I packed a new set of socks to bring along. I haven't even started them yet.
Work has been very quiet this week (knock on wood, i don't want a huge rush! we've had enough running around thank you) so I thought I would do some training. And I thought, why not learn another programming language. So I added a 6 hour course about writing Javascript to my transcript.
Why am I doing this? I don't really need to know Javascript, not from a casual learning perspective. I can write HTML but anything I build these days will almost certainly be on a platform like Wordpress.
It's very dry. The presenter created Wordpress, knows his shit, and is a decent presenter. I need to make a case for having knitting in my hands so I don't fall asleep and actually retain this. But also do the exercises recommended so I can also LEARN it. (I left off with "write a bunch of these samples until you feel comfortable" but since I'm doing this at work, I don't have 2/3 of the recommended programs, like a code editor that will highlight as you write so you catch mistakes sooner)
I think I'm doing it because... why not? It will look good on my transcript? (which resets tomorrow, so I will have a 6 hours jump on the rest of the year) I have access through work to LinkedIn's learning library and can learn whatever they have available? I'm avoiding working on my fanfic?
End of March is apparently time for existential crises, and I think uncoincidentally it coincides with my year-end review and personal development plans. Why can I not just participate in capitalism enough to fuel the things I'd really rather do, why do I have to constantly want more. I don't want more, I want to dream up my silly stories and make a pair of pants that fit.
