I set my alarm too early because I thought I had a 9 o’clock in person meeting but it’s at 11 o’clock, but since I’m up anyway I thought I’d crack on with some light work.
Friends, I have been emailing like a man possessed. I have sorted admin issues that I have been ignoring for months. I have conquered mighty work demons, squashed like bugs beneath my emailing fists of fury. I have obliterated my Notion task list.
I really hope I haven’t accidentally discovered a new productive window for my brain. I don’t want to be 7 am email guy. Nobody likes 7 am email guy. Especially not 7 am email guy himself.
file anonymous observations on a case handled by the boss who bullied you, pointing out that they’ve made several typos and fundamentally misunderstood basic science
Slept badly, had a dream that I was lost in a city and trying to find where I was on my phone. Then 3 kids stole my phone. Think it means I need a pastry.
Now sitting with coffee and listening to the van pelt for the first time ever.
I regret to inform everyone that my independent ethical advisor’s opinion is that this would not be in line with the code of conduct set my professional regulator, although they did concede that if instead of ticking the box that said “I wish to remain anonymous” I signed it as said bully boss’s recently retired sporting hero, it would however be “quite funny”
Got an exciting meeting this morning but not nearly as exciting as battling my brain over writing a script for a talk I’m giving this weekend vs watching Charmed all day instead.
Absolutely crappy weather here today. I’ve come into the office, remembering as I drove in that I saw something on the intranet yesterday saying “Please be aware that due to essential works taking place in the Multi Story Car Park, certain areas will be closed”. Turns out those certain areas were the entrances to the car park. I would have thought that might have been a fairly fundamental thing to mention, no?
Oh yeah, work BBQ today, fuck that noise, Heading for dinner with my wife’s brother, then a gig where it’s going to be five drummers and only five drummers playing.
Can feel myself getting quite agitated by small things, which is never a good sign.
