I stayed up today mostly accompanying someone. They weren't able to go to the house with good Internet because they overslept today and their connection was bad so we couldn't really have VHH. We mostly talked in chat and I just replied when I could. That happened in the background and I was fixing the theme for my blog in the foreground. I had a few fixes lined up and eventually deployed my fixes by 3 a.m. or so. I played Sky for a bit and did the dailies for someone's account and mine. I sent them a message about completing the daily tasks and tried to sleep, but I kept working on my blog's theme and they didn't reply to me until the morning.

In the morning, I was swamped with work but I was able to handle it all despite being on so little sleep. I got through the morning just fine and even got into VHH with someone. They turned on their camera and I hadn't seen them in a while, which surprised me. They looked cute and then they showed me Koala, which I hadn't seen in a long time. I played Sky with them and we got through Eden easily, then we got our wings back. We stayed in VHH until 3 p.m. when someone had to leave for a meeting and I was preparing my presentation for my meeting a bit. She eventually left for Gen San. I was actually shocked that I was preparing my presentation 1 hour before it started, but whatever. It was eventually my presentation and it was my time to present.

For some reason, I was so nervous to present my websites and stuff. I pride myself on being fearless and rarely getting embarrassed. I'm never nervous with people and I sang on a stage in front of these coworkers before, so I don't know why I was so nervous doing a presentation from home about some topic I already have a good grasp of, and with our cameras off. Maybe it was the lack of sleep. I was still able to present and I didn't really stutter and I believe I did really well. I can see that some of my fellow devs were impressed by the sheer number of websites I have deployed. They were so impressed, that they even asked me to give a DevOps presentation next time so I can show them a thing or two about Linux. After that, my shift ended and I didn't really do anything noteworthy for most of the evening. Someone eventually replied in the late evening, around 11 p.m. and we talked for a bit before they decided to sleep since their Internet connection was bad.
