New And Yet Same Marching Orders
Here we go again.
The weekend was great to recover much needed energy. It's really hard to live with a constant sleep deficit. I can get used to it, but colours will be muted, reactions will be slow, the mind will be blunt. Better to be awake for less time, but be so much more aware.
Anna and I defined our strategy in the upcoming months. The focus is still Portugal. She is to continue applying and we'll look into temporary housing alternatives in Germany. Something we can drop at short notice. This way, after the current house contract terminates, we can still linger in Germany for a little longer while we continue to find something in Portugal.
If by May the situation is still the same, then we reconsider our options.
So far, so very good. I'm very excited and curious about this next step. So many possibilities!
On my personal end, I'm going to focus on losing some weight (the holidays were terrible), getting my work stack in order and slowly define what I'm going to do next professionally. The easy, safe bet is to find a gig in consultancy in NAV/Business Central. While that in itself isn't the most exciting thing ever, what I have learned with MetalDays and 70K is that the people I'm with matter a whole lot more than the line-up. It's not so much about what I'm doing, but who I am doing it with. T
here are good people and assholes everywhere. And the likelihood of evil is higher in some businesses than others, like the Banking sector. Naturally my next step is to aim towards sectors or groups where sharp, vigorous minds are likely to be found.
Again the idea of smaller, cutting edge companies surfaces. Maybe look for small practices that allow for remote work?
