Week note; 10 July 2023

This week has been mostly a blur of training videos, articles and a couple of practice exams. Trying to juggle my time between things has been a challenge in and of itself, never mind the actual work involved. On the go this week has been;

  • Coaching lab week 2 activities
  • Flow Framework training classes
  • Code and deploy the internal leave automation service
  • Aussie visa paperwork

The coaching lab activities were all based around aspects of the agile coach role, how to orient yourself in a new system/team/org and then opportunities to give each other feedback on some slides pitching the coach role. I generally consider myself a pretty introspective person but a lot of the course activities have been a nudge to to do it more and in finer detail, which surely can only be a good thing! Providing it reveals all roses, I suppose...

I've actually enjoyed working on things that are outside of my usual comfort zone as an engineer/aspiring architect more that I thought I would but the bonus is that they all are related in the general digital profession sense.

Ticking off the achievement list:

  • Submit Aus visa (so much paperwork.... Wonder if they want to talk to someone about their digital services.)
  • Complete ACL week 2 homework
  • Learned that mocha pot coffee is, in fact, the best home brew

And all that with my half finished FFXVI game staring at me from across the room!

It's a long weekend ahead, so hopefully my keyboard time will be low and I'll get out on a nice walk.
