Daily Diary
3rd September, 2024
So I didn’t go to the office actually. Simply logged in and worked from home. Caught up on heaps of emails, sent a few courtesy teams texts, and generally eased myself into my old routine.
The mood at work is somber at best. Lots of demotivated employees due to looming, and happening, layoffs. Uncertainty in the air. Lack of communication. Realpolitik rampant across all levels. Overworked senior management. Sigh. Best I stay at home with the young one and work as little as possible. Suits me for this week.
Ran a few bureaucratic errands throughout the day – all done on time, weirdly. Banged out an article after forever. Ironed all my shirts. Polished my shoes. Arranged the bathrooms and cupboards. Admired the gorgeous views from our new place. Went to bed under a moonlit sky and the looming Canary Wharf skyline beaming directly down the bedroom. Romanticised how I can watch each of the banksters turn off their lights as Bitcoin gobbles them up. Slept like the dead.
Today will be more of the same. Except my gym routine has left me desperately sore all over. So rest day today and back to the grind tomorrow.
And that’s that really. Humdrum but loving it. Talk soon!
