Week Notes - Week 46
Declan ByrdThis week I had my first basketball game of the season. This season I'm playing for Worthing D&D White and we started the season with a 114-36 win against Horsham Hawks II. I finished the game with 4 points (I got fouled shooting a 3 pointer which went in and I made the resulting free throw).
On Wednesday this week, I made my first trip to the Twilio office in London. Being the only member on my development team that is based in the UK, it was a great chance to network with other people. I'd been invited to a social at Electric Shuffle in Canary Wharf where we were split into teams and competed against each other in various games of table shuffleboard. I pushed my social anxiety to the limit, and despite finding it hard to approach people while I was in the office, I did have positive and meaningful conversations with some of my colleagues while at the social event. I was very tired for the next couple of days.
I played Spider-man on the PS5 this week and I'm still choosing to finish the side missions before advancing the main story. I can easily spend hours playing so I've mostly been playing this over the weekends.
What has changed on this site:
- No changes to the site this week.
What I've been reading:
