  Fuck. Been volunteered for an all day strategy meeting tomorrow. Kill me.

  Just gonna slam my head into desk. New Marketing woman had been pestering me about a video not playing on her laptop. Been running round in circles trying to make it play, it relies on HEVC, eventually got VLC to show something but the computer struggled with it. She’s moaning how playing video is important, so I get her to try a different video as I suggested in the first place to help me diagnose the issue. Works fine. IT WAS JUST THIS ONE FLIPPING VIDEO

  This Gousto box has got something to happen that hasn’t in years. I’ve been doing proper cooking on consecutive days, and I have a fridge stocked with leftovers to eat the next couple of days. I would say on that basis, probably worth the money. I’ve always kind of struggled with this sort of thing, at least for a while. My first home in London had a huge kitchen which was very easy to make things in, but successive tiny flats have been harder and harder to do it.

  RE: https://mastodonapp.uk/@ianvisits/117349182374305147 This is interesting and something I had been wondering about how GBR works, whether ownership of the stock would come into their hands again.

  Should I be concerned that post nationalisation, I’m unable to log into my careers portal account with the train company I’m under consideration for?

  Currently contemplating how much coasting I can do from now until 5pm. Not enough, I think. Still, I’ve closed some tickets, what more do you people want from me?

  I am very mentally checked out this morning.

  Do we really have to do this Monday nonsense again?

  It may be a Sunday night but I’ve cracked open a bottle of cider I’ve had in the fridge waiting for me all week. It’s M&S cider with blackberries and blackcurrants. Very nice.

  Cheered myself up by making one of my Gousto recipes. Sausage, mushroom and spinach orzo!

  I tried, anyway. Ah well. Extra Sunday in bed for me.

  Called it, come home. Think I’ve made the right call given how crap the drive made me feel coming back.

  Anyone else craving hash browns today?

  @keefeglise@mastodonapp.uk is this another husband drift? Or sanctioned activity?

  They’ve let the kids run wild hunting for hidden members of staff around the school. I’ve just been interrogated by a group of them convinced I was one of them (I’m not, and no, I have no idea where anyone’s hiding, I’m just doing my IT tasks)

  One of my favourite new toys in the new car is cruise control. It’s kinda fun just letting the computer do the engine work for a bit.

  @feritae@universeodon.com @miffyhelen@beige.party it’s about the level of conversation Helen and I have so sounds about right

  I swear my “office” is making me feel a bit unwell again. It’s warm, it’s uncomfortable, there are no windows, and can’t forget the fact that it’s a storage cupboard. I’ve had to step away to the staff sitting room with a drink for a few minutes.

  The ganache on this chocolate cake is superb. Our chefs are great.

  In a way, I regret taking the old car to the garage to be looked at. It was booked in for the 21st, already two weeks on from its death, and now several days on from that, I’ve heard nothing. I feel like I was better off just getting it taken home, pull the last of my stuff that I need from it, and get something done with it. In the end, I feel like the scrapping route is inevitable.

  I have a funny feeling my manager is being lined up for a job with the wider group IT team. Well, I’m fucked. I mean, he’s not always a good manager and most of the stuff gets dumped on me, but if he goes, it’s just me somehow having to deal with this shite alone and I have no interest in that.

  I have way too many feelings at the moment.

  It gets worse. Teacher who tried sending out SharePoint links of Word documents to parents (and couldn’t because sharing outside our M365 tenancy is disabled other than select few people) had the documents converted by the person sending letters out to parents to PDF. Teacher now comes back to us with the PDF files complaining she can’t edit them. For fuck’s sake, what the actual fuck is going on?!?!?!

  I swear everyone is out to confuse me today. I have no idea what is going on anymore.

  I have way too many thoughts that get posted here. Sorry about that. I should be more less.

  Maybe I am coming down a little ill, my shoulders are starting to ache. That or I’m just so tense at the moment that I’m doing this to myself
