Fatigue and other assorted excuses (Patreon)

IRL work has me so tired. 😩

I have big & fun videos planned but I've had to put some of them off two weeks in a row now. 

I've had a Gnome vs MATE video planned for almost a month but those comparison videos are a lot of effort and I really don't want to half-ass it.

I've committed to doing just 1 video a week but I almost couldn't even do that last week because of my workload.

I'm not even juggling that many balls at work - it's that all the tools and technologies are weird and I've never used them. Like, almost any of them.

  • Saltstack - Never used it
  • Sensu Go - Never used it
  • Prometheus - Never used it
  • Python - Never used it professionally/in production
  • ELK Stack - Kind of used it, never managed it
  • Jenkins - Have used it, never managed it
  • Gitlab - Have used it, never managed it

On top of those tools, there are these tools I have used:

  • Terraform
  • Packer
  • AWS
  • Slack I guess?

This makes for the most technically challenging place I've ever worked. 😭

It's a really great place to work and everything but I'm still ramping up on everything I need to learn and know so I've just been really tired.


Hopefully, I'll be back to 100% by the end of August because I have a bunch of really fun things planned!

I totally understand the being worn out at work thing. I just tried switching to Pomodoro timer today to try and help with the feeling burnt out thing. So far day one with it, I do feel a little less worn out at the end of my work day. That said though, I totally understand that feeling. I feel so worn out after work usually and I just don’t have the energy to put together anything personal and just want to be lazy the rest of the day. Just hang in there, and try and find a way to pace yourself. That is key to burnout, is to make sure to find a rhythm that works for you.

Take all the time you need to get yourself comfortable at work. I really enjoy your content, but it can all wait and I am sure that your viewers would put your well-being first. The important thing is to focus on your own stability and not try to do too much. Take care and look after yourself.
