Weeknotes

Boom. I’m bona fide! Just got the results today that I passed the exam!

I am an AIPMM Certified Product Manager.

What does that mean now? At this moment, no clue.

Tomorrow, it ties the room together. Maybe it can open doors. It says, yes, I have a diverse background in tech, marketing & business and, yes, I know a thing or two about building things.

As for the rest of the stuff going on…

Meh. It can wait.

I’m going to celebrate this win for a moment.

This is how I’ve been feeling lately. High high’s and low low’s.

• Signed up to get the final AIPMM CPM exam. It’s been a while since I’ve been exam nervous. Now… do I even have a quiet place where no one can bug me for a couple hours???
• Started reading ADHD 2.0
  • A few “oh I didn’t know that” moments.
  • A few, “sure… that’s logical” ones too.
  • Paid a bit more than I thought I would to know that I’m a Kolbe A Index 3-2-9-5.
    • I’ll punt that to “next” to figure it out. Though it feels a bit anticlimactic at the moment rather than the pitched “ah ha” insight.
• Taking the low moments out on the garage.
  • We have a dump site of a garage. When in doubt, dump it there.
  • Rather than get into real low moments, I’m going to focus on making it a little needed tinker cave. I don’t “man” enough to call it one of those.
• Oh look, I found a mac laying around. And it works? OK!
  • Barring all the fun ups and downs, debates and conversations… it’s kinda nice to be back on one.
  • Biggest win… oh the sound is sooooo nice again.

Turkey Weekend 🇨🇦🦃 has drained me so all you get for weeknotes today is a list:

• revisit note system through obsidian for my adhd-ness – I’ve used daily template for years, but it’s not feeling right anymore. Time to change it up
• Did some reading on L-theanine and ADHD and until I get any movement on re-diagnosis, though why not.
• I’m also looking to improve my life pattern specifically trying to help ADHD patterns. Note: I fight patterns and routine on a good day – my ADHD abhors it… which makes things interesting. I’m already telling my Pomodoro timer to put that break in it’s tomato. And I’m only a few days in.
• I wrapped up the final psychodamic of an orality culture. I think there’s a few I need to add clarity and revisit, but now what? If we are a postliterate oral culture, and everyone’s like “ya” then what? My comms background is consistently asking myself “why should anyone care?” And it’s a very valid question I still can’t successfully communicate.
• Finished the class work on AIPMM CPM. Now it’s time to study up and get ready for the exam.

See you next time ✌️.

Boo!

‘Tis the season where my child wants me to be some advanced cosplay outfit maker. I admit I like it a bit, but oh the cardboard! This year sounds pretty advanced. We’ll see what kind of blueprints he makes at 7.

Should I teach him AutoCAD? Probably a bad idea, considering I tried to teach him to play Minecraft with a computer keyboard and mouse on the weekend so he could play the “real” poisonous potato; it did not go well.

More AP WP woes

As anyone who’s read my previous weeknotes, you may have noted my woes with AP WP and my new host. It’s an on again off again curse of a relationship. It was working, then it wasn’t. Smashing head to table, plugins on and off and on and off. Now all caching plugins are off and other under the hood plugins are in use… it seems to be… better. We’ll see what lasts.

Still Edu-ma-cating

Still working towards that AIPMM CPM designation. Slowly but surely watching those percents go up and up every day.

What Else?

Let’s see….

• Ikea furniture madness
  • I shouldn’t be hacking away at walls with saws, but I did, and it kinda looks good
• Tinkering a bit, brushing off cobwebs on Symfony & Rails.
  • I know, I know… different languages, but hey, why not.
• Actually giving AI a bit of a chance. Though very timid on it all still.
• Lot’s of talking and searching, and exploring on the j-o-b front.
  • All in all in that questioning everything place.

Well, that’s all I’ve got. Typing for typing-sake on this one.
