Feels good. Will take the dog out before work. Nice day for it before eight hours of meetings about meetings.
I remember the days of having meetings about arranging meetings. Eight hours of a talking shop discussing something that could be done in a 5 minute email
It’s not too bad tbh but in a Zoom world mostly still there are so many people who try and create a call with ten people attending for something that would have been a five minute chat in the office before. Started a new job recently where I’m senior enough to just not attend certain things or send someone else or even better just tell the organiser that it’s unnecessary and sort it out without a meeting.
I try and avoid them wherever possible. Just sat through a 90 minute one, I was losing the will to live. It’s not the same as face to face for me, not even close.
I don't mind them that much, we just do too many. During the lockdown period we cracked on with work and so were having the ****ers every day. Ridiculous, it was for the sake of it. We have them Monday, Tuesday and Friday now. Monday's are the best. The client PM; "So, Chief, can we have an update?" Chief; " Well, I did some junior football Saturday morning, then I managed to squeeze a round of golf in before going off to the Swans. They won. Then on Sunday we went for a nice walk on the beach and stopped off for a couple of drinks. Home for Sunday dinner and a few drinks, caught some of the match. United lost" It was the weekend you ****ing idiots, Nothing has happened since Friday's Zoom! I did not work, the phone was off.
often will pop AirPods in and go for a walk to avoid being at my desk for too long. Nice on a day like today and nobody knows or probably cares. I like the Monday call where the 20-something girls in the team say they had a quiet weekend with family when I’ve seen their Insta story of them doing shots and pissing in the street 20 hours earlier.
Got my MRI scan review on Monday. Just in time for the knee to be absolutely pain free and seemingly **** all wrong with it. If there is the slightest hint of any debris that can be removed though, I'll be having it done. I know it'll recur just when I don't want it to otherwise (February, when I hope to ski. BBC induced lockdown permitting of course), and then the process will start again. Paid a £200 excess for **** sake, not paying that twice. Think I'll test the thing out this evening on the treadmill, just to look out of any sharp twinges.
Nothing is stopping me going. Bar a lockdown of some sort! Got a knee brace i'll wear if need be, and I can use that if I have problems driving back. Which is a long drive with a gammy knee!
Rear shock ****ed on my bike. Thankfully under warranty so it can be sent off for repair. But no bike, no surfing and no swimming for the foreseeable ffs
There's a bloke I know with an ACL injury skis' all the time and reckons his knee pops out and he just puts it back. I assume it to be true, see no reason why he'd make it up, although admit it seems far fetched. He snowboards though, not ski, not sure if that's easier on the knee. Women who is going with us this year did hers in skiing and had the op and has skied since, and will be this year.
A friend of mine down here broke her back in a paragliding accident around 20 years ago and was told she would probably never walk again. She now runs ultra marathons, 100 miles across the desert in the harshest conditions possible. Don’t let anybody tell you you can’t do thing things you want
Where you going, used to go val d'idere all the time when started. Then move to bulgaria for cheap breaks.
