Yeah, I don’t really have anything to say here unfortunately! These blogs are always much less fun when I’m writing them because I have to, even if that means just letting words fall out of my head until I’m finished. Like, I don’t have anything slutty on the brain right now, nothing I’ve wanted to bring up or anything – and yet, the show must go on.
Today was a pretty nice day, albeit kind of a weird one. First of all, out of our team of 18, there were only four of us in the office – everybody else was either away for work stuff, on leave, or working from home. Which, considering there are usually at least 10+ of us there, split across two pods of desks – it just felt rather odd to have us not even filling up one. On top of that, the tool we use for, uh, all of the work we do was having some major issues today, both in the office and remotely. There were a couple of occasions where it just wouldn’t work at all, and there was literally nothing we could do about it, other than wait around for it to fix itself. So, yeah, weird day.
I had a really long video call with m’colleague (the same one I was talking about yesterday who’s been doing the stuff above our pay grade) and said I’d help her with this new feature she’s been working on, which was fun. What was less fun, though, was watching her realisation that a poorly timed update to the system she was working on meant that the past two days of her work had been erased. She gets really into her work and I think she’d been working pretty hard on all this, so it was really just some extra stress she didn’t need. She decided that it all called for emergency post-work drinks, so I ended up joining her, her sister (who’s recently moved here) and one other friend from work for drinks at her place. It was a really nice night! We basically sat on the couch and talked shit for a few hours, but, y’know. That can be nice sometimes. It’s also fun to see how people change between being in a work environment and being in their own home, with family around.
And that’s basically it for today I’m afraid! I am dead tired, and I really just need to go roll into bed – I have to get up for work in, like, five hours… Oh, I spent another forty combined minutes this evening with throat full. Really must ask Mistress Charlotte if she’ll mind me shifting from the docking station to the couch… Thanks for reading.
