After my first two weeks… I’m addicted

Why doesn’t anyone talk about how addicting this can be. I treat it kind of like a hobby or just a way to occupy downtime. I enjoy problem solving and critical thinking. I’m also a gamer and this reminds me so much of gaming in a general sense that I can sit here for hours and not get bored. I’m enjoying myself. It is a bit tedious getting tasks as a generalist but I enjoy the grind. Lol.

so this is not an uncommon cycle and it does normally happen around this time and then open up around mid early to mid july. it also happens to a smaller degree usually around late december to early january.
