My Spotify wrapped has been disappointing me over the past few years. I used to have such an eclectic music taste, but getting older I'm listening to what's familiar to me a bit too much. I don't like the complacency.
Going to spend the next few weeks saving some new music to listen over the holidays, and listening to albums I've saved over the year but never bothered to listen. Currently listening to Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk, for fans of synth-pop and prog-rock this one is for you.
Meeting over! 2.5 hours later, I'm so exhausted. There was a few times I felt like I was giving garbled answers to questions asked on the spot, and also being in full focus for that long is pretty tough. But overall I think I presented and communicated well. Client seemed happy too so that's what counts.
I think I deserve a takeaway pizza tonight and a night off any cooking.
Big work meeting this afternoon. I mean BIG, there's a lot on the line. I'm as prepared as I can be and a bit more prep this morning. I was feeling super nervous about it yesterday. Calmer on waking up this morning but the nerves are coming back. Deep breaths help - I will be fine, it will go fine.
The amount of sales-related emails and texts I’ve been getting is staggering. More than any previous year I feel. These businesses ask for a mobile for an online order and then it gets used to spam promotions. Mass unsubscribing is in order.
That's enough work for today. Sign off. Going to have a bit of retail therapy before heading home, but I won't last long if it's super crowded at the shops like I think it'll be.
Hate getting public transport late at night. Train from Collingwood to city, then train home from Flinders didn’t line up, 20 minute wait. Then another 12 minute delay on top of that. Feels like I went in a voyage to get home.
Travelling at peak - no problem. Outside of peak, not fun if you need to catch more than one mode of transport.
My grass was yellow and looking dead on Saturday, now it's green and looks like it's going to need a mow soon. Also left my indoor plants outside for a couple of days after not watering for a little too long and they look revitalised. Amazing what rain and humidity does for plants.
Cleaning the floors today. I feel like I’m moving slowly though, from the humidity. There’s no joy in doing this today that’s for sure. Afternoon will be more chill.
So I saw one of the friends in the group that excluded me from their catch up last week. He was saying how we should plan another pot luck dinner with the group (that’s what we did the last time I saw them all) and have it at person X’s place. So maybe they felt bad I wasn’t with them last week? Who knows. I just acted dumb, said sure etc, no confrontation about why I wasn’t invited last week. Let’s see if it happens. I’ll forgive but I won’t forget!
Had a massive day, just sat down to go through the happenings of the DT. Two days in a row not WFH is a shock to the system, I’ve become such a home working slob. Quick wind down then off to bed as I gotta do it all again tomorrow. 😴
I am a sometimes late person (a trait I don't really like but actively trying to improve) but being THAT late is insulting. You have to value other people's time.
Ughh this feeling of aloneness while being overwhelmed with work, I've felt it so many times. The only advice I can offer is to look after yourself as much as you can. A home cooked meal, going for a walk or doing other exercise, proper wind down before going to sleep. This past weekend wasn't great for me mentally and doing these three things helped.
Driving home tonight with the sun setting, sunroof and windows open, cruising on the highway, perfect temperature, good tunes playing, for a moment I felt at peace.
