Ebbs and Flows

I am writing this on my phone so apologies for formatting/grammar/spelling errors. It has been very slow at work and I'm working on a project that won't be needed until 2018. It makes me wonder if all teams are like this or not. We will have a ton of work all at once then we will have nothing to do to the point where I can write a half ass blog post from my phone. I've been refreshing my email for about 45 minutes just to have something to do other than this tax XML. I know nothing about Brazilian taxes but I've been sent to create the XML that is sent to the Brazil government for tax and inventory control purposes. I've been working on it so log my mind is numb. Thank god for the Nerdist podcast. If I had to sit in silence and do this, I would start spinning in my chair. 

On a positive note, I went kayaking over the weekend with some girlfriends and it was fantastic. I want to buy my own kayak. It was nothing too intense. Just a lazy float down a river. 

Here's to hoping for more work soon. Take care, reader.

Happy 4th of July week!!

I am sitting in the office with only a few other people. Everyone else is working from home or took vacation time. It's so quiet and I love it! I am regression and defect testing today. I have already messed up and tested the wrong test set. It's not the end of the world but it's times like that when I remember I'm just an intern. I hope to learn more about slowing down and actually reading emails completely. It is also a Monday of a holiday week. My brain isn't on yet.

Everyone have a good week and be safe!
