Today was a first day back to school for our daughter. My wife dropped me off by the train station on the way to drop our daughter off at her school.
It was the first day at school and they didn't even need laptops today. From what she told us it was basically going between the classrooms and reminding kids about all the rules. She said she didn't need those reminders and that she was bored.
She is going into the eights grade and this is her third year at this school. She did say that it was nice to see her friends and that one of her girlfriends commented how stylish she looks.
She also looked a bit tired and when we asked she said she was tired. With the start of the school year our relaxed summer schedule is changing drastically. We are getting up earlier and on the days that I work in the downtown Seattle office we now have to figure out her drop off and picking up situation.
Also on the days when I work from home and when I come down from my office to our second floor the house is going to be empty as my wife usually has even more meetings than I do and hardly leaves her office during the day.
It was nice to have our daughter hanging out on the second floor in the living room or dining room where she is usually painting her art or was working on additional mathematics during the summer on her laptop doing IXL.
Today must have been a Seahawks home game as there were a lot of people on the street wearing Seahawks fan gear as I was leaving work and all the train station platforms were also full of people in Seahawks shirts that were going downtown.
Even when I got to the last station in Lynnwood I could see a lot of fans either boarding the train to downtown Seattle or walking towards the station. This kind of sights bring back memories of the World Cup soccer that took place in downtown Seattle this summer. And some of the images in this post are from that time.
The day at the office today was quite busy, I had a couple Teams online meetings and spent the rest of the time working on our Azure DevOps build and deployment pipelines.
I finally setup Azure DevOps MCP Server and it really improved my Artificial Intelligence Agents ability to interact with our Azure DevOps. I should setup our solution to prompt the developer checking in the code for a work item in Azure DevOps or create work items automatically based on what is being checked in to better track our work as well as improve visibility of all the changes that are going into our weekly build and release into production.
Tomorrow I am also going into the office, but instead of our online meeting to do the weekly deployment into production I am going to be on another online meeting to present our new Content Management standard to other architects and management.
So not a lot of productive time is expected tomorrow as we have a few more online meetings tomorrow and in between I am going to spend my lunch time in the gym just like I did today. One good thing about going to the office is the ability to use different gym equipment than my garage gym. My garage gym is all free weights with a full set of dumbells as well as a couple benches and bar bells as well as a pull ups and dips station. While the gym in my office building has a lot of different machines. And while free weights are considered to be better I find it that machines hit muscles in a slightly different way so I am always sore after taking a break coming back to the machines.
