At a cool conference today. Love that I'm now finally at the point where conferences interesting not because of the talks and booths but because of meeting the right niche of people. Work is still brutal (by my standards). Had a meeting yesterday that, had it reached a different conclusion, could be the end of my team altogether. The idea for the short/medium term now is to seriously reorganise, in the sense that any work that can be easily offloaded to others will be offloaded to others so that I can breathe and grow again. Our mortgage is aaaalllllmost done. It got approved, but we had to fix a few mistakes in the final offer and thus need to re-sign it. Funny how it's a lot of effort to get through their system, but once you're through it's apparently no issue to change a tonne here or there. Effectively, that last hurdle is done and we will have a house in two months. (_In this economy? Yes. Send help. eeeeeee_)
