Had my yearly review just now.  Was like five minutes long and was essentially "nothing bad to say- you keep on doing awesome, here's a regular pay raise, plus an additional extra pay raise for hard work, plus a nice bonus on your next pay check to show our appreciation."  We're going on vacation next week...that bonus alone just paid for the whole trip and then some!

I'm in the new place! Not a darned spooky thing in the world, though my landlord-provided minifridge makes quite a buzzing noise.

I went out to get my bedding materials, ended up hitting a new favorite craft beer place for an IPA, a Norwegian Imperial Stout, and some Okinawan noodles for dinner. Carried everything back instead of cabbing to get a little walk in.

The landlord also gave me access to the separate guest house's internet. I'm not gonna complain about free internet, but I'm not going to be playing any online games for the next half year!

I think you all know I've been placed on the project from hell at the most toxic client I've ever seen for long time now (and with as many clients as I've had, that's saying something)
I'll just leave these emails here (I've obviously changed the names, but otherwise they're verbatim):

Quote
Email from client PM to me with his management and my management CC'ed on it.

Puppy,
We need  to have a discussion about your team's attitude. There's been a trend that we're seeing that it worrisome. We'd like to get this cleared for the projects success. Please let me know some slots that might work for you to meet and please give this priority.
Thanks,
Client PM

My Reply to all

Client PM,
Of course! I'm always willing to discuss and address any issues that might impede project progress. It stands to reason, however, that my team does not work in a vaccuum. Rather, we partner with your team. As such, any discussion of attitude and overall productivity must include a discussion of your team and how they interact with my team. To that end, please be prepared to have a holistic conversation about both teams and their attitudes to help remedy any concerns at their root rather than band-aiding the problem. I've ensured my calendar is up to date, please feel free to book my time as needed, I'll loop in my leadership as needed.

Thanks,
Puppy

Client PM Reply to all:

Puppy,
Let's just keep an eye on it for now. Thank you for the quick response.
Thanks,

He didn't think you were ready to turn that into an assessment of his team as well? And in an email forwarded to everyone, no less? Dumb/10

you'd be surprised how often clients will just take a giant shit on consultants/advisers when a project isn't where it should it be, or how often the third party will just drop its pants and take it so props to puppy for standing his ground without being a dick

My temp contract had to be extended for a couple months and I think somebody pressed the wrong button because now my paycheck says Regulatory Affairs Manager instead of Program Manager (I only manage myself, if I'm lucky). I'm gonna update my resume to make it look like I had a promotion.

Interview on site today. Went okay I think. They went straight for on-site and paid for travel fees.

Different company for a phone interview tomorrow. This’ll be round 2, next one may be on-site.

I’m confident that I can succeed at these positions, and it feels  good to be considered.

Cool. I recently modified my Finnish-made rifle, which is actually owned by an Italian company, with an Austrian-made scope. And I ate at a Croatian restaurant.

I've been in my 11 m^2 apartment since April 4, but my first two weekends were back with my family. Most mornings I just get up and have a cold shower (haven't connected gas, won't need it in a couple more weeks) and lament my lack of amenities, skip breakfast and head out.

Instead of that, this morning I boiled water in a pot, made some black tea, warmed up a biscuit with fermented butter and apricot preserves. It was a great start. So I also went to the park across the street and did a super-brief workout before heading to the train.

I feel really energized and positive right now.
