Commentary
(Summary blog only. Last full blog was Day 0368).
After the excitement of returning to the office yesterday, today was a bit of an anticlimax. I hadn’t been able to schedule any office-based meetings so elected to work from home (WFH in the vernacular) and do the one meeting I did have, by video call instead.
But the day was a bit less productive than I had hoped. I had to deal with a load of house-related admin and then I made the mistake of trying to set up a new Microsoft Teams account. I hoped this might make connecting with work colleagues easier, but I ran into all sorts of technical difficulties. An hour spent on the phone with someone from Microsoft just seemed to make matters worse. In the end I gave up hope and got them to cancel the new account that I had just set up, and refund me the money. Sigh.
Anyway I did have a useful video meeting and will be heading back into the office tomorrow. The thing about WFH and also being a consultant is that you can work whatever hours suit you (within reason) so long as you deliver the outcome. So once I have finished this, I ned to spend some time this evening doing some pre reading for tomorrow.
Val was out at work today but had a shorter day than usual so once she got back, we had a quick walk round the marina, stopping in at Supervalu on the way back to do some shopping. It was nice to get some fresh air after a day spent behind a desk. Must go now, though, and get on with the reading!
