Walk a little

The past couple of days are a blur at this point.

I had a firmware upgrade activity at 22:00 on Tuesday, followed by a 06:00 DNS change on Wednesday, followed by some urgent hardening changes in a new environment, followed by another firmware upgrade activity today at 22:00. It is going on as I type this.

I could not write anything yesterday. I was spent.

Today, I finished most of the hardening work I was doing. It required me to search multiple things, ask around, experiment with a few things.

Yesterday while working on an Azure POC, I had a similar feeling, while trying different options, finding something that worked.

I wrote a few TILs, a few tech notes. Maybe I should have posted that here?

Anyway.

The thing that I am trying to get at is this: all work is creative. Not just writing or singing or dancing or making movies. The work I do as an engineer is creative too.

Yesterday I did not feel like writing. Of course that thought crossed my mind, but since I’ve considered a weekly streak to be a better streak, I am not so hell bent on posting every day.

Yesterday I did not feel like writing. I felt spent. I was tired. Is there a fixed amount of creativity that we have as individuals?

Or was I just tired? I don’t know.

Anyway.

I am doing it today. One step in front of the other. Walk. Breathe. Walk.
