raced a fun half marathon last weekend. Cut seven minutes off my old pb. Still pretty slow by hardcore runner standards, but good for a plodder and i'm stoked with how fit i'm feeling.

On the work buzz as per my last post -> After a lot of soul-searching it became apparent that business-as-usual stuff at the company I was contracting to isn't likely to be a good idea for either party. It's not what I want to do medium or long-term so i'd find it pretty hard to be psyched and i'd be looking elsewhere from the get-go. I also decided not to throw my hat in the ring for the fixed term project role for two reasons: 1= i don't really like working huge hours, and 2 = they're looking at the role starting pronto and i feel like a few weeks of chilling out I wonder how i'll feel about those decisions a few weeks from now.

so.. upshot is that I'm back to being a free agent, with an expectation of occasional report writing and database work for the people i was working for whenever they go into planning or strategy mode. I guess i'll play some poker as well? maybe, it's hard to predict the future at the moment.

p.s. zero hands of poker thus far in June. It's turning into quite a long break from the grind!
