Finished the last book of this year as I cannot complete another one during these remaining 2 days. I have been reading quite a lot this year but I have not kept a track of the books I have completed. There has been at least a bunch of Elly Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway novels and the first 2 volumes of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire1 (in English).
Better known as The Game of Thrones.
@matigo Yep. That was the only option (5x30) they had available. But I guess one can book successive 30-minute slots and use as many gift card items as needed.
5 x 30 minute massage gift card acquired. Now I just need to book time for the first session…
I might have come to the terms that this feeling is a combination of mid-life crisis and ”what I would like to do next” influenced by discovering that one company doing pretty much what I would like to do for living. I will use the next year to learn a bunch of new things (specifically artificial intelligence and machine learning), then I will double-check if that company is still running as smoothly as it is now. Then I can make decisions on what to do with my life.
@matigo True that. But I am not sure if I have the experience either even though I have done a bit of everything during these years.

@matigo It is very likely that. The company I bumped into does pretty much what I would like to do, but I am not 100% sure if I am ready to make the jump now.
@sumudu I must say that I hate this feeling. Then again, I have been doing things I did not get any formal education for for the past 11 years, so no wonder I feel like this.
I accidentally got familiar with a company that would do things I used to do before I had to change my career. They have open positions, but their ”requirements” are something I never formally got education for. I might know bits here and there, but I am by no means an expert in that subject they are requiring. This made me even more anxious.
I have been having anxiety over being both over-qualified and under-qualified for the work I have been doing. These feelings have become stronger lately, and I have been wondering why it has been like that. Now I think I got it: I am turning 40 next year, so this would appear to be a mid-life crisis I am experiencing.
Thinking about what I would like to learn next year. Maybe a couple of courses on artificial intelligence and machine learning as those are the hot topic here at the moment. While I already possess the basic knowledge of those, taking a refreshed course would not do harm…
@matigo Nope. It has been above zero the whole week, but today it was again –5°C and everything was totally frozen.
