„What is my next ticket? What is my next ticket?”

Okay look. I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough of screwing myself over and not fulfilling my full potential. Oh what. Did you want me to be nice forever. Do you expect me to be sweet. Okay so I am sweet 99.9% of the time. It is true.

But sometimes you need to be angry as well. And I am angry. But not in an angry way. In a bad way. No, in a gentle way. I am angry in a gentle way. If that is even possible.

I COULD BE DOING SO MUCH BETTER. I could be doing so much better. I could be doing so much better. And I am so mad. I am so mad not even at myself and not at anyone but just at the injustice of it all. Because I could be doing so much better. And I could be fulfilling my potential. And I could be doing so much more.

So:
  • What is my next ticket? 
  • What is my current ticket?
  • What are the steps that are needed to complete my next tickets?
  • What are the steps that I need to do?
  • Who can I ask to unblock me?
  • Where can I ask to unblock me?
  • What can I ask chat gpt to unblock me?
  • What can I Google to unblock me?
  • What would Alan Turing do?
  • What is the problem? Have I defined the problem clearly?
  • What docs could I be reading to unblock me?
  • What tutorial can I do?
  • What is my current ticket? What is my next ticket? 
  • What branch am I on?
  • What tests do I need to fix? What tests do I need to add? Do I need to add any new tests?
  • What are the next steps on my current ticket?
  • Does it have any new requirements?
  • Does it have any subtasks?
  • Can I break it into subtasks for myself?

Thanks for reading legends. 
By way of thanks here’s a cover of me singing White Mustang.

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

Where To Hide A Star

Where To Hide A Star I haven’t read this book but I just saw this title of a forthcoming children’s book on the train and so I wanted to write a blog post based off of this as well. The last six months have been… rewarding and fulfilling. I have managed to make all of my dreams come true and to defy expectations,  Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight and if you reread all of my blogs over the last six months (all 200 of them) you would know exactly what I’m struggling at work and what was going on. And why. But I’ve managed to overcome most of my challenges. Neurodiversity. Being very new in the field relative to the expectations of the job. Being in a new workplace environment. All stuff which I can handle and I am doing just fine. Because I am amazing and fabulous and I can do anything. I am loving the job. I am thriving. I am loving just getting on with it. I love my work. I am having massive breakthroughs. On Thursday I had what felt like the biggest breakthrough ...

In the Water, I find Fire

In the Water, I find Fire Who am I without renewable energy? I had to ask myself this question last year when my company laid off half its employees.  I didn’t know who I was anymore. Not without renewable energy. But I did everything I could to stay in it. The time in between jobs allowed me to experiment. Travel around the UK a bit. Reconnect with old hobbies. Rediscover my femininity a bit - be someone who wasn’t always working. But I fought to stay in renewable energy. A part of myself has been telling myself that I am in renewable energy still and that’s great because I am. But I am mostly in water. And that was hard for me to accept that. Because I love renewable energy so so much. And I couldn’t imagine my life without it. But now I can. Not because I don’t love it But because I need to give myself to something more too and that is water Because in the water I find my passion In the water, I find my fire In the water, I find my self again In the water, I find my Self So let’...
