GAH! I did it! I wrote the 3 Difficult Emails that I’d been procrastinating on for over two weeks. I hate asking people for potential opportunities out of the blue. I still feel like I have little to offer on balance (often feels like social likeability is valued disproportionately higher than skills even for moderately technical roles). So it’s hard to reach out and deal with potential rejection especially when deep down inside it kind of feels like none of this matters anyway.
Maybe 4-5pm wasn’t the best timing, but I felt like I could send em off, shut my laptop and ignore it all until tomorrow morning.
Currently making this extremely easy and banging Chinese recipe: Cumin potatoes inspired by Cumin Lamb from Xi’an Chinese Muslim street food. Only made it once before and I did have baby potatoes at the time, keen to see how this works out with big potatoes I had to cut into thick coins and then quarters.
Edit: look at these delicious potatoes. They are addictive
