Congrats on your first week at your new job, @anne-laure. :tada:

  • Wrapping up tasks related to 30 Days of Tools and Test.bash();
  • Recommending someone to write their first MoT article and they’re up for it
  • Starting to move my head into HolidayBash mode to support Mark and Sarah D who lead the initiative
  • Discovering Cards Against Agility. It made me smile and I just had to pledge. :money_with_wings:

Hooray on the new job Anne-laure!

Work:

  • I’ve learnt to slow down a wee bit - I was trying to rush and get everything done and making silly mistakes and driving myself slightly nuts.
  • Starting to get organised for 2022, which is a big task but trying to ease into it.

Personal

  • I had my first appointments with both a nutritionist and a therapist so I can start tackling my health issues. I finally feel like I’m taking some control of the situation.

Work related, a pretty typical week.

On the personal side I went out with some friends and we played cards and D&D and ate burgers :grinning:

Paging Dungeon Master, @callum. Perhaps an opportunity for a MoT community D&D session at HolidayBash and/or elsewhere. :thinking:

Work:
Successfully completed and delivered a new Software Testing project. It got deployed to production this same week. Got lots of appreciation from all around internally in the organization which is very motivating to me.

Personal:
Spoke to one friend after a really long time. Cherished the time!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

There is the MOT slack topic/group. I’m not a regular slacker, but there is a computer gaming topic and pretty sure something DnD will happen if you do drop in.

I haven’t done any D&D since about 1978!

D&D types might be interested in a YouTube channel run by my mate Tim. He makes models and scenery for all kinds of RPGs, like Burrows and Badgers, Necromunda, D&D etc. Magrathea Builder Of Worlds - YouTube
