Daily (150 day streak)

Today is amazing problem for binary tree. I remember seeing it on top100, top150 or 75 list. Go and do it, this is very rare case when you have good problem for daily in leetcode.

After eating got nausea and dizziness. Panicked because I dont know local doctors, hospital locations etc. Then it got better on its own. Then again peace in mind.

Anxiety + hypochondria + relocation + my health randomness is a killing mixture for me(

You know that first 1-2 weeks in big-mid corpos are mainly security/complience/d&i/privacy trainings. Not only they are boring as shit and typically there are nonsense questionnaires/quizes after, but also it is usually listening mode

This is the most β€œexciting” part. Hate it. Was like that in Epam, Microsoft, now here

Idk, for me, I literally cannot keep focus on audio content. I can only focus on visual content, like pdfs, presentations, etc. but paying full attention to some voice, no. I just cannot.

The problem with trainings that it is mostly voice content.

So story about Czech Republic's delivery services or how I missed my Snowflake swag.

For those who does not know what ALWAYS happens in CZ when you order delivery to your home address. You are getting sms saying you to be at home in some datetime range, because courier will come to hand over the package.

LITERALLY FOR EVERYBODY I KNEW, it was like that: they were at home, monitoring phone for sms or call. And then after 1-2 days they were getting notification that courier didn't find you at home, so you gotta go to some ass of Prague on branch to take your package there.
That's why, what all Microsoft people are doing - they mention office address, and it always gets there, cause reception is 24/7. And that's what I did with swag, but it was so long that I resigned earlier than it was delivered.

That's why I'm coming to the Snowflake office with Microsoft bag.

Amazing daily again, from one of the lists, so probably you have it solved (I had). But good to remind.

So you can understand. At One of the viewings (apartment), there were 15 people at the same time. 3 chunks sequentially for review. 3 out of 6 guys along with me were ready to submit all documents right away at the place and sign everything.

I have talked to one guy - he told that he is searching for apartment for him and his wife for 3 months already. Crazy

Yesterday for that reason I prepared the draft in gmail, with attached docs (they require fucking ton of docs, bank statements, payslips, curr and prev contracts, landlord ref, employer ref, surprised there is no dickpick point id), so that I ll be the top of the pile.

And today was a bit funny, when guy told, I am ready to send all docs and sign, which is your email? - I told the agent straight awayβ€œalready sent, is this correct email?” (Showing screen)

Okay, one of the many good things about Ireland that you are UTC + 0. My Letcode daily is refreshing exactly at 12:00 AM, which means I can do it before the sleep "for tomorrow", as typically I'm going to bed around 2AM

Amazing feeling.
