The Tale of Low Energy Michael & The Pit of Suffering

Hey! Phew, well bar the news this is the first thing I’ve written in too darn long, perhaps 2 whole weeks. If there was a path that I was on, suffice to say I wondered off it. Let’s break it down!

The Pit of Suffering

The whole team has been slammed by the Pit of Suffering. What is the PoS? It’s out old office. I say old because I have now moved the whole operation out of it. The PoS got it’s lovely name because it’s an enclosed office (150sqft) with ZERO WINDOWS and terrible A/C, that is in a larger open office that is also enclosed with terrible A/C.

It’d regular hit nearly 30C. Bad for our computers, and bad for us. It majorly slayed our productivity.

I have a spare room in my apartment that is in the process of being converted into an office. It has great features such as: ‘window that opens’. 

Overall I expect that this is going to be a significant improvement, and a stopgap until we find a more permanent home, as I mentioned in my last update.

Drink Responsibly

The fun side thing is that a good friend has been going through rough times. We’ve been helping out by keeping him busy in the evenings. That means drink, at least here in Ireland. What this has meant is too many evenings hanging out at a bar. Even if it’s only 1 or 2 pints, the effects of alcohol on ones energy and quality of sleep really do add up. Especially over an extended period of time.

So I’ve nipped this in the bud! We’ll be replacing it with the wholesome, family friendly method of icecrwam + movie.

We Found The Portal To Hell

Side thing, we found an actual portal to hell. Our office had this strange locked door. Well some contractors came in to open the door, and… Well. Behind the door is a massive heat vent that runs along the length of the building.

This keeps on going down to the basement

On The Other Side

I’m telling you all of this now because it has been a few days since I snapped out of it. I’m back on the saddle writing, so things will be a lot more active here again!
