I had a good night’s sleep and woke to a sunny morning, with the forecast calling for a high around 40°F. My dreams were vivid and varied — I remember hiking along a snow- and ice-covered trail with Andrew A while we talked gear. At another point, Robert Aguilar and I were riding our bicycles, and Dimitry Connelly and I were reciting lines from a movie.
I followed my usual morning ritual of preparing lunch for work and packing it into my lunchbox before heading out. The drive went smoothly, and I arrived without any issues.
At work, several managers gathered around my desk to discuss testing at our Canada location. I shared my input, and it was well received, which felt encouraging. Throughout the day, I reviewed the AI First initiative on Confluence, went over our environments with Viktor (DEV, TEST, TRAINING, PREPROD, PROD), updated my reference chart for the show that is running, and attended an Option Based Selling demo.
For lunch, the office served Mexican food. I had carne asada and camarones tacos with chips and a churro — a great meal. Later, I stopped by the outlet mall and discovered that Mountain Warehouse is selling most of their merchandise at 50% off.
