Day of 2026-06-28: Hump Day & HPUD & Continuing 2 Build

Hive Power Up Day

Today is both Hump Day and Hive Power Up Day (HPUD), so I continued my long-term accumulation by powering up 100 $HIVE.

For me, HPUD is less about the size of a single contribution and more about maintaining a repeatable process. Consistent participation supports my long-term investment thesis while keeping short-term market fluctuations separate from my accumulation strategy.

Extending My Barefoot Shoe Portfolio

Outside the markets, I'm continuing to expand my collection of barefoot shoes after being convinced by my earlier experiences.

This time I added two different pairs:

• A more "classic" sneaker style that should fit both office use and running errands.

  

• Another pair with a jeans-like appearance, making it the most casual-looking option in my collection and suitable for a wide range of occasions.

  

As with any new tool, I prefer to evaluate them through daily use rather than forming conclusions immediately. Small improvements in comfort and practicality often compound over time.

Looking for a Customer Support Manager

On the professional side, we are currently searching for a new Customer Support Manager. The goal is not simply to fill a position but to grow together with the company as it develops.

The previous manager introduced departmental KPIs. While the metrics appeared reasonable on paper, they did not fit the operational reality. The framework felt more like a textbook implementation than one designed around the actual workflow. In addition, the manager lacked operational knowledge of the department, making meaningful evaluation difficult. That situation was further complicated by a romantic relationship with members of the board of directors, creating additional uncertainty around objective assessments.

For me, effective management starts with understanding day-to-day operations first. Metrics should support the work being done, not become an objective disconnected from reality.
