What are your goals for week 45 of 2024?

It's week 45 of 2024. HacktoberFest is over. In the US election day is Tuesday. In some places schools are closed cause schools are used for polling places. It's not always been like that here.
Here it began during the Pandemic to reduce the number of people in the building. When I was in school they set up voting booths in the gym and students got to see them before election day. On election day the gym was off limits but we could see voters entering and leaving the gym. The election will keep people up late Tuesday night.

Also the US just set our clocks back an hour. So coworkers may be at odd hours till they adjust.

What are your goals for the week?

  • What are you building?
  • What are you working on?
  • Are any meet up or conventions happening this week?
