Frequent swearer, coffee drinking, wine soaked, stressed IT project participant - have you tried turning it off and on again?

It has begun and again I say “no”

For the past 4 days I’ve been battling a horrible virus/heacold

Caught it from the guy who replaced the front doors in our apartment building :(

Not covid
Not RSV
Not Influenza A or Influenza B

Thank god - but still - THIS IS ABSOLUTE PANTS

At the start of the pandemic (and WFH) - i worked from the lounge room and giant dining table - for at least 3 years … i then moved into a home office setup. Today, during front door replacement, I’m having to work from the lounge again - and it is horrible ! How did i last for years

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see!

But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

I appear to have re-entered my ‘read all the books’ phase - it is now close to 11pm, i have been awake since 4am, and i have to be up early tomorrow to prepare a workshop and finalise reports.

Did a deep clean of the fridge - and I really do have an unholy amount of cheese

NSW: Why everyone is getting sick in November.

High flu cases are driving NSW emergency visits, with influenza up 33% in early Nov and 400 influenza-like illnesses presentations last week.

COVID cases remain stable. “We’re hoping they’ll remain low over Christmas,” NSW Health’s Dr McAnulty said.🤦‍♂️

Puffery - a word we don’t use enough in everyday discussions

Last week i attempted a ‘honey oat slice’ - it was meant to be like a crunchy muesli bar - instead part of it crumbled like granola. It’s sustained me all week when I’ve need a small sweet treat. It’s not half bad though. Would make again.

In other news - the magpie pair outside are soooo screechy - it’s not the lovely whistle or calls, it’s just this grating squawking. I wonder how long it will take for them to realise I’m a friend when i start sharing dehydrated mealworms as snacks from my balcony

Did not spend the usual 15-20 minutes this morning, preparing my calendar and mapping out my day. Consequently am feeling all out of sorts

Every 15 minutes my brain keeps freaking out making me check “oh wait, am i meant to be in a meeting right now”/

Yes, but what have they done for us lately

Today, Remembrance Day, the Team was split between different locations (home, and 2 separate worksites) - 1 team member (wfh) had reached out to ‘2’ projects to say ‘hey, can you move that meeting to start at 11:05am - or include 1 min of silence … no response from project managers or scrum masters

Have discovered a dj live streaming his set on TikTok - and this is the content I am here for

Drove over 1 hour for fancy pies … arrived 45 minutes after opening, and they’d already sold out :( no pies for us - only fancy pastries

Work started contacting me at 6:30pm for an emergency communication required to network. That’s taken 1.5 hours to author, publish, and then manage content governance. Lucky i didn’t open that bottle of wine when i logged off at 5pm

Was hearing a weird noise on my balcony (or close to it) - finally decided to check it out - and it was a magpie repeatedly landing on my pots - looking in at me - clacking - and then flying off

Looked down - and there’s 2 doing similar behaviour (tag teaming)

Senior BA setup a meeting today to discuss an upcoming change - opens the meeting with “I’m holding this meeting with you, because you ALWAYS identify a gap, or something that no one else has thought of, I’m expecting the same here today”
