I'm in a naturally happy state today. I don't need to intend to move from a fussy state to a happy state. I just am... Happy. And what had lead to this happiness?

Last night I found about six hours of uninterrupted flow state. From about eight o'clock in the evening until two in the morning. I was building a semantic model in Microsoft Fabric with connections to Databricks and a nice front end in Power BI. The purpose of the solution was to test the pipelines I have built in Databricks. And wow, did I have some fun. The only reason I stopped was when I look at the time and thought... Jeez, I normally wake up at four, I had better get some sleep.

This just confirms I'm doing what I enjoy for my job. I get paid money to have fun in my flow state. Gosh, I'm so lucky.

Jobs like this. It's the perfect fit for the way my brain operates.

Modelling data. I'm not just great, my models are a delight to work with. Just ask me. Send me a direct message and ask how good my models are. I think you will be really happy with the response.
