Busy... but not exhausting

rosa_heartlilyMet with favourite colleague and chatted about work (so glad they've got a real job and they're enjoying it!) and Doctor Who (we're both pushing ourselves through the old-old stuff, knowing it gets better at some point :D).
Then prepped for a project board with the relevant PM; that particular project has gone really well and is nearing completion. After that, I had a conversation about the service catalogue with the colleague in charge of the Helpdesk and we agreed a structure for it. It'll be next week before I get to grips with it, though.
I managed to get the minutes from yesterday's prioritisation meeting done but had to cut my dinner time short :( It doesn't happen often - but that's one lost dinner time last week and a shortened one this. Still, busy is good!
The colleague running this month's cascade meeting asked me to talk through the PDT's work and how it relates to the uni's strategy. I'm always happy to talk about the portfolio! There were also some of the more junior members of other teams talking about their particular areas. Very nice to hear some different voices.
Chat buddy shared a video about the classes and sub-classes in DAV. Multiply that by the number of races and background/alliance/thingies, and it looks like the game definitely has replay value!
Then I had a RAPID meeting and a project update meeting with one of the PMs. After that, I cleared out some emails and it was time for home!
A full day but it didn't leave me feeling worn out, so that's good. A solid night's sleep last night helped, too.
Tonight, I played about an hour on Night in the Woods, which... hasn't really grabbed me... It includes a guitar mini game, which I'm terrible at, although I was sort of getting it towards the end. I've played 20% but haven't triggered any trophies, of which there are 32. Not that getting trophies is the reason I play games, I'm just used to getting one for going to bed on the first night or something. Anyway, I'll see how I get on with it.
Heading to bed, soon - and hopefully another good sleep!
