Well, sort of. Officially, my 32 hour work week starts next week, but I took today off in advance
Going to do some work for my own business, Juun Software, today.
I'm well on my way for my first customer, a startup who needs some software for their business.
Nice job, no hurry, a couple of nice challenges, and I decide the technologies to use (C# ASP.NET Core, EF Core, Vue.js, SQL Server, hosting on Azure).
Next week I'll be sending out my first invoices with my very own Juun Software logo, which is pretty cool as well 
I'm thinking about making a basic website, but I can't really handle more work, so what's the point (except the fun)?

Part time is a blessing.

He is part-timing because running his own business aside, so I am not sure this qualifies as part-time but as .. .double time eventually.

You will learn when you have you're own business that there actually is no such thing as "part time" anymore. Yes your other job will be part time, your business will be everything left over.

I already learned that a while ago.
I've been working in my own time for years now, it just got "official", is all

Best of luck. Why did you choose Friday?
|
|
|
|
|
Dull day at work, long weekend, worst traffic because rush hour starts a little early (just like I do)...
Wednesday and Friday were the best days for my employer because we have weekly meetings on all the other days.
Also, Friday is pretty good because we have no holidays on Friday, but plenty on Monday and I believe on or two on Tuesday and Thursday

Sounds like it would be those days that would be best to do something else!

The amount of meetings is insane 
From the top of my head, two on Monday, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday, then there's a three-weekly sprint review and retrospective, a daily 15 to 30 minute team stand-up (ugh, keep it 5!), a six-weekly .NET team meeting... And those are only the "standard" meetings, some people there do nothing but meetings!
Semi-government, 'nuff said
It's not all bad though, sometimes we have pie
I've seen worse. Not more meetings, but the meetings were more disruptive for the "work flow", so bad even that customers called and asked for person x "if they're not in some meeting again..."

So I'm watching the latest episode of Violet Evergarden and the opening[^] has been bugging me for the last 7 episodes. The rhythm and overall sound reminds me of a really old song. It finally clicks. Do as Infinity - Deep Forest (Fukai Mori)[^] from Inuyasha. Now I want to go back and watch all 7 seasons as I only saw seasons here and there as a teenager through Toonami at like 1am before Lupin the Third.
Also it's crazy to think I'm in my 30s now  Damn I feel old.
EDIT: Updated a link.

I eat a lot of pizza. Most of it I cook myself. Unfortunately I haven't such a large oven.
