This project really illustrated something about what I enjoy vs most of my other SRE coworkers.

Them: "I fucking love Terraform, if I could just write code all day for stuff I would.. planning.. organizing.. stuff sucks.. Just tell me what you need and I'll write the modules!"

Me: "Ugh... I hate writing templates.. like I love how simple they make stuff but hate coding side..."

My Boss: "Hey Sam... We are going to help this team build this thing in Azure.. since you're completed the basic Azure training can you take point on this project. Figure out how we should made this happen and get stuff together to present to the devs doing the engineering side."

Me:"Sure.. okay.. I can do that."

A week and a half later...
My brain is so full of stuff and oh my gods I've done so much research and I can talk about this a lot..... I need to arrange all this in a sensible manner though.. because I have to talk about it in the morning...

2 hours of making workflow, pipelines and design charts later.. YES YES IT MAKES SENSE IN MY HEAD!

Send charts and nothing else to my team members.
"This is really good. holy shit!"
I guess I should start writing the words to go with this...

4 more hours later.. send off a doc to my boss and other team member.

"Damn this is really good and I like you approached it from a Why we should do things like this angle than 'this is how it should be done'. I think it will drive a lot of good how to questions and thoughts in the meeting tomorrow. Excellent Job!"

Me... to myself.. I really enjoyed that... like it was fun and interesting intellectually.. I like doing research and planning things...
Also me: Fuck I have to present this to people in the morning... commence the anxieties!
