    A courier is meant to come today to pick up the old work laptop. I was given the wonderfully specific window of 9:30 to 17:30. Kids are dropped off, I’m about to shower, and I’m ready to hunker down and not go anywhere until he comes to pick it up.

    Because you know he’ll come if I go outside or the next time I go to the toilet

      My work is terrible at asset management. I have so many old devices kicking around it’s stupid. I should just dump them all at the office with someone sometime but they’re all long-forgotten.

      I have a work Windows Phone in my desk somewhere… thing belongs in a museum.

        I have two laptops from old roles that never bothered to arrange collection. I gave one to the MIL so she has an actual computer and took one for myself as the linux test driver.

        God, I remember those Nokia Windows phones. They gave Trevor in GTAV a windows phone to show how insane he was, it just dates the game to a specific time period now.

            I didn’t go for a walk but I took advantage of this lovely weather to give my bike a much needed wash
