That was very hard. Maybe not in terms of the number of guesses, but it took me a long time to think of it.

The kid got up at 2 in the morning again last night. It took her half an hour to get back to sleep in her bed and took me at least two hours to get back to sleep in mine. I'm not saying this is as bad as a newborn, and hey, at least we don't have covid like lots of our friends, but this really, really isn't great.

Work is horrifying. In terms of my workload and productivity, this week is average. Maybe a bit more than average but within the usual range. But in terms of what I'm working on? An SOP about policies for our work tracking system. Currently one document equals one task, more or less. Documents may range from 1 page to 40 pages and it's still one task. Larger efforts are tracked as parent and child tasks or tasks with the same tag. Smaller efforts are tracked as comments on tasks or not tracked at all. It's working well enough for us currently. But in this SOP I'm working on we're basically expected to track our whole day in 20-minute increments, tallying emails, with multiple types of tasks, checking in on tasks at preset intervals... it's nuts in general and particularly considering the kind of work we do.

So while I'm standardizing the formatting and phrasing and trying to clarify the intent of the text and making minor grammatical and punctuation edits, I'm also fighting the urge to add comments asking, "Are you serious?" in every other paragraph. Or actually trying to find a substantive diplomatic way to ask it.
