I have spent the day reorganising my desk to make it more WFH friendly. I've finally set up the two identical screens so that our VPN system can cope without havng to work out which resolution it should be using. I've also set up the dual monitor arm, to lift the monitors up to a less bad for my kneck height. It doesn't help that there's a shelf ( Read more... )

Just been to see BttF Pt 2.  It's very interesting to see how these films have aged and watching them with the benefit of knowledge of the actual future. As anyone who ever saw the first films said - "Where are our flying cars?"

In Pt 2, Future Biff from the end of Pt 1 goes back to give his old self - Young Biff from Pt1 - a book that will change ( Read more... )

I'm really not feeling like work this week. I got to go into the office yesterday afternoon to do some checking of company details, so at least I got out of the house for a while.

I bought a new PC three or four years ago, and never got round to setting it up because I couldn't get to my desk and therefore sat on the sofa with my laptop and the ( Read more... )

Today I actually felt Monday-ish. I didn't get up until nearly 8.40 and was at my desk by  9.10, as I'm not in the office today and possibly not this week.

I spent most of the weekend at the allotment and was pretty much worn out by the time I got home at 6.30 last night. The last hour and a half were much improved by listening to a documentary ( Read more... )

All the things I read on twitter these days seem to be along the lines of "OMG, I'm so bored at home. Life is so boring". Yes, it's boring if you want to be bored.

I have been in the office for the last week (Huzzah, it's so boring at home!) helping out with the payment of emergency grants to businesses. We will be paying out in the region of £15m ( Read more... )

Last night was my first night of Training From Home. Sifu has made a whole bunch of training videos for us ( Read more... )

As someone who has no problem living on my own and is quite happy with my own company, it's really not the same when I'm supposed to be working. I went into the office today to pick up some paper files and email stuff to myself. I saw 4 people. When I got home I bunked off for an hour to go up to the allotment and cover the Broad beans and water ( Read more... )

I am struggling to remember what day it is. If I think hard enough I do know it's Wednesday and I should be training tonight. But I have other things that need doing, so I'm not training. Also, possibly because I refuse to use FB, or maybe just because our instructor is busy, I've not had my training email for tonight. It would normally be the ( Read more... )
