Week in review: Week to 14 February
Feb. 15th, 2026 01:42 pm. It was a good week at work. I tried a new thing, and was complimented by the boss on how it turned out. Unrelatedly, but also good, the boss has taken action to resolve a significant source of client-related workplace stress.
. We had a weekend session of board gaming, where we played 3 Witches, Quacks of Quedlinburg, and a few rounds of Ticket to Ride Legacy.

. At the regular weekly board gaming session, we played Liar's Uno and Paperback.

. My library hold came in for Lies My Teacher Told Me, which I started reading a couple of months ago but had to return when I was halfway through, so that's what I've been reading this week. It continues to be interesting but slow going.
. I've been doing another run through XCOM 2, this time with the "Shen's Last Gift" DLC, which adds a new story mission that unlocks a new soldier class. I really liked the story mission, and I'm having fun playing around with the tactical possibilities of the new soldier. Definitely worth the money I spent on it.
I also installed two of the other DLC that were included in the bundle, both of which are cosmetic expansions that don't change any of the gameplay but provide new outfits to dress your soldiers in. One of them is going to be uninstalled as soon as this run is finished, because it is badly-behaved and keeps changing my soldiers into midriff-baring tops without asking.
. I'm making progress with the jigsaw puzzle; I'm past the stage where the amount of empty space feels disheartening and into the stage where enough of it is filled in that I can do a piece or two whenever I have a spare moment.
