How did your goals turn out today?
Be organized.
Do my best on all my commitments.
Honestly, I definitely didn’t do my best on all my commitments today. (As evidenced me shirking on my work-related streaks for today. https://www.dropbox.com/s/niwgadl72dkca1u/Screenshot%202020-07-17%2023.52.04.png?dl=0). I convinced myself I was “blocked” because my SCP running (I ended up canceling it anyway). On top of that, I told Sile that the work that he assigned me would only take me around 10-15 minutes. He said, oh, I thought it would take you longer (like 2-3 hours), but I said that I didn’t want to waste his time. After saying that though, I went downstairs to eat, and then briefly talked with Sile around an hour afterwards, and then went to shit (and played Hearthstone in the meantime), then briefly talked with Sile again, then went downstairs and pretty much got ready for EE. Now Sile either thinks that the task took me longer than I thought it would take (so I’m bad at estimating how long tasks will take, not a good quality for a software engineer), or I just didn’t work on the task once Sile told me that he expected it to take longer (which suggests that I only work on tasks right before they’re due - I don’t try to finish them earlier than I have to). Both of those impressions I’ve created in the mind of someone who’s going to play a major part in determining whether I get a return offer or not are not good for me. I didn’t play that very smartly to be honest.
