2013 Summary

2013 was really interesting year for me and my wife - We visited some really cool places like Seychelles (La Diague) and Caribbean (Barbados).  Two really different places from each other, La Digue is a small island with population of 2000 people according Wikipedia, but in my personal opinion there was not more than 200 people. Trip around the Island by foot took us around 5-6 hours, and it was freaking amazing with stunning views. Probably it's not worthy posting photos here because they can be found on google images anyway ;-) Couple of months after we decided to visit Barbados (Caribbean), which was really different from La Digue, the island was much bigger with much bigger population. One of the most interesting things we did was to go around the island with the public transport, that was quite a fun, of course we hired a car after that, but the public transport is something to remember, especially cars which are operating within the city area, called Z*R.. laud Rege music and smoke ;-) probably you've seen that in the movies, but you can experienced in person at Barbodos ;-) One of the very popular places was Oistin's market, where you can buy something to eat and see how people are enjoying Friday night.  (p.s in person is much better than my video) :)





With my wife we are shooting those videos (in Bulgarian) every time when we go somewhere, which are summary of what we did and saw. They make me laugh every time when I watch them ;-)

Sometimes you just need a good distraction, and I randomly got the urge to study for an exam;  something I haven't done in years. I decided to look into network security and started watching some CompTIA training videos, and...it was all a bit too familiar. Apparently the search continues.

The thing I didn't see coming

I keep forgetting I have this blog. But today felt like the right time to write something - something a bit more personal than usual. I want to talk about burnout. A while back I was deep in a very large infrastructure project. What started as a technical role slowly turned into something much broader - I found myself handling bits of legal, commercial negotiations, RFP work, supplier discussions. A lot of moving parts. And somewhere along the way, I realised I was doing most of it on my own. The late nights started adding up. Long calls with suppliers making sure the bill of materials was right, checking the solution actually held together end to end, always that nagging feeling that something had been missed somewhere. It just kept going. And then something shifted in me. It's hard to describe. I'd never experienced anything like it before - burnout, anxiety, call it what you want - but it hit me in a way I really wasn't prepared for. I've always been someone who...
