For sure this week was atypical, but I think I managed to roll with the punches reasonably well.
I was reasonably prepared for travel, which went smoothly until the final leg of Wednesday’s 3 flights was canceled from fog. The handling of this wrinkle was smooth and despite getting to the end of the road 4 hours later than expected, I had a 3 hr conversation and made a connection with a fellow traveler.
Thursday morning I caught up on sleep, went to the phone carrier for a prepaid SIM and bought a winter coat and packed for the hunting trip. Hunted Thursday afternoon and got connection set up at camp.
Friday I hunted the early morning and got back to camp at 1030 to work. After ~60 minutes, realized laptop wasn’t taking a charge from the the system. The electricity in this seasonal camp is solar, it had been a cloudy couple of days, their battery reserve was low and items such as water pump have priority over power outlets. Meanwhile, there was a wounded buck on the property so I went back out to join in the herd management efforts (photo article to come!).
I borrowed a touchscreen device to catch up with articles and make comments Saturday morning, then hunted the afternoon.
I can see my latency this week being a drag on Jacob and others. Perhaps I should’ve been more skeptical of the connectivity at the camp. Despite having reasonable expectations come up short, I think I managed clear communication about the highest priority of the week in helping Jacob manage the wallet development.
I know I have responses to pay from this past week and prior and pay those I will.
Main priority was fine and communication around it clear and timely enough, yes. The issue otherwise was more of past debts coming to bite you (as those things ~always do) at precisely the time when it’s inconvenient (or worse) to handle. To touch the root cause, the review here should have focused on those uncovered issues this week.
