It's Pubski day! I've had a rough couple of weeks mental health wise. Just a lot of doubts about my climbing, my relationships, my work. Currently very, very unguided and I keep asking for what the company needs me and my team to be working on since I've been told "no" on multiple business cases for projects right now. The response has unilaterally been to wait until company strategy is released in the upcoming weeks. So I'm kind of checked out until that happens. The plus side is I'm getting some learning done on the side related to SQL and data engineering, and lots of running and climbing time.

Dating sucks. That's been confirmed. My luck with dating is exclusively with people who do not live in Seattle, strangely enough. Seem to be the less flaky, more likely to actually go out and see what happens. Talking to friends, this seems to be a common theme across genders. Not quite sure what it is about Seattle on this one.

Doing the math on housing and need housing prices to fall another $100k ish out here before it makes sense to pull the trigger on a purchase when considering the changes in interest rates. Not sure when that will happen but gives me the opportunity to build up more of a down payment, and worst case, I have more cash on hand. Yay.
