We've got a hybrid model going at work and I'll likely end up working from home 2-3 days a week anyway. I just need to see different faces.

Besides, the new office really is that nice:

Is that where you work? I'm beyond jealous, it looks amazing.

That would at least be interesting! I think there is a lunch break scheduled in, but it's probably on European time so set for 11am or something ridiculous.

I'm back one day a week from this week. I had decided to go in on Thursday as it was the only day I had no meetings. Today got an invite for a WebEx that is from 10am to 3pm. So I won't get to really meet anyone as I'll be locked in my office on a video call all day. Seems kinda pointless to have a commute of at least an hour for that.

Can you not swap the day this week?

I can, but they are all back to back meetings. It'll be grand, just seems quite arbitrary to come in to the office regardless.

Cafe-side, eating a reasonably healthy breakfast, 2 hours to kill before counselling

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - thomil - 21-09-2021

Breakroom-side here, tucking into yet another free lunch. Took a later bus today, 30 minutes of extra sleep and I still arrived with plenty of time to spare.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 21-09-2021

Sofaside. Treated myself to some new clothes and a couple of books. Counselling was productive. Friend picked me up after and we went for lunch. Happy with how the day is progressing.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - cee_jay - 21-09-2021

Sounds like my ideal afternoon nothing. What books did you get?

One fairly hefty one on loads of aspects of drawing, and Richard Osmans Thursday Murder Club.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - aaronjennings - 21-09-2021

Thursday Murder Club is good, read it a few months ago, looking forward to getting around to the sequel eventually

I've been reading a book called The Phantom Atlas lately- written by one of the QI researchers, incidentally - which looks at old maps and how odd mistakes came to be present on them for centuries. For example, the false idea that California was an island, or that there was a sea in the middle of Australia Big Grin

Anyone fancy a takeaway tonight? I have an Uber Eats voucher that expires in 5 days which I won't use, first person to PM me can have it Smile

Damn, pity ubereats don't deliver my way!

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - cee_jay - 21-09-2021

I enjoyed the Thursday Murder Club, it's a very easy read. Looking forward to the sequel.

That Phantom Atlas sounds very interesting @aaronjennings
I'm currently between books and can't find one to capture my attention. Although an audio book has just come through on Borrowbox so hopefully that is good.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 21-09-2021

I always have a book on the go, and dozens lined up for the future. Literally, a table full of them.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 21-09-2021

I struggle with my concentration, so I've loads to read, really shouldn't be adding more to it!

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 21-09-2021

I think I get as much joy from adding more books to the pile, as I do from actually reading them. I literally feel a dopamine hit whenever I pick up new books. Though it is getting ridiculous now how many I actually have.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 21-09-2021

Haha that could be part of my problem too

I'm the same, although most of mine are on Kindle. I have 100s unread on my Kindle, then I always have some out from library and borrowbox too.

I don’t Kindle but I do use the library which means postponing the ones I already own. I

Sofaside with a couple of eps of What If and a sausage sandwich. Had a productive morning so can chill the rest of today

Once again in the break room, looking out over Cork city Big Grin

Went out for dinner & drink from work yesterday, on the company card. Great craic altogether but 18 months in solitary have certainly decimated my alcohol tolerance. A couple of glasses of wine over dinner, followed by two pints were all I could handle. I guess I need more practice pac

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - BuileBeag - 22-09-2021

Yes practice, practice, practice @thomil ! And eh if you need any help with that, I'm sure some of us here would be more than happy to put that company card to use with you Wink

Good to know, I'll keep a look out and come down with a coffee for ya Big Grin

(Company is dry, unfortunately Undecided

Anyway, just home side. As much as I love the new office, the commute simply takes up too much of my time...

You know what you two need? A nice break, somewhere tropical, with sheep, and fabulous destinations... I bet @ari101 would agree and also have piles of suggestions to reveal!
