The Quick Brown Fox

This was, of course, last  week now. Things are finally feeling back under control in terms of my personal task list, but I feel distinctly disengaged. 100% of my creative energy is going to other projects. The culture of work we have is so weird . I don't know if it's an American thing, a software thing, or what, but I am increasingly disturbed by what seem to be expectations of a non-reciprocal emotional connection with one's workplace.

It's Thursday, and this week has been a blur of catching up on documentation work after two weeks of mostly not being here. I have the sense that things are not going particularly well, but no data, and I feel a bit cut off from my team. In good news, I got one of my Scrum teams to try something fun (a communication exercise, which is what I'm calling things instead of "games," because God forbid we do anything that isn't deadly serious here). It seems to have been well-received, or at least didn't annoy anyone. There is only so much of me to go around.
