Apparently, moving projects between groups in GitLab can have unintended side effects on pipelines and deployments. Which makes sense, but wish I’d have thought of that ahead of time… 😬
Weekly Notes 2025.43
- Welcome to my 43rd weekly note post!
- I referenced in last week’s post that I was heading to play games with a colleague & her daughter (M) while they were in the area. Obligatory photo below. 🙂

Weekly Notes 2025.42
- This week’s update might be even shorter than last week’s, although with a few twists!
- I worked from the office all week, with a majority of my meetings taking place on Monday (other than standard cadence meetings throughout the week).
- This week was a little quieter than normal, as a number of close colleagues were traveling for meetings…
Weekly Notes 2025.41
- I think I’ll keep this week’s update short and sweet. 🙂
- A majority of this week in-office was spent in user acceptance testing of the new systems. My time wasn’t needed quite as heavily as last week though, so I started to get back to a normal work schedule.
Weekly Notes 2025.40
- After being gone all of last week, it was nice to be home and in a little bit more of a normal routine this week!
- However… as luck would have it, I had actually moved my Fargo trip from last week forward, as this week’s schedule needed my attention in-office for training on some new systems.
Weekly Notes 2025.39
- This week was one of my busier in a while, as I was in-office on Monday morning, then traveled Monday afternoon/evening to Fargo, ND for some meetings with colleagues based out of our office there.
- Tuesday morning through Friday mid-afternoon was spent in meetings, some planned, some impromptu, and enjoying interacting in-person with team members that I normally only see virtually. I don’t have much to share publicly from my time in-office in Fargo, so insetad I’ll include some food photos! 🙂
- Tuesday lunch: ThaiKota

Weekly Notes 2025.38
- This week will once again be a shorter post, as a majority of the week followed my normal patterns work/life patterns.
- I was in-office all week, splitting time between meetings and continued deployment work on the aforementioned ECAD tool.
- Wednesday, a group from work visited Jonah’s Oyster Bar for dinner, where I enjoyed my standard spread of Salmon, New England Clam Chowder, and a delightful Old Fashioned.
