I sat through two hour long meetings today so I think I can take 6 hours sick leave instead of 8

The sickness has been the worst today so far. Big headache, slept on the couch after getting up and it was 10:30 before I knew it

I think know what I’m going to use those virtual desktops, or remote spaces for. I’ve got a couple of projects at work on the go already now, so instead of having a bunch of tabs open across two screens I can separate them out to their own desktops and have everything I need for them there.

That way I won’t get lost amongst all the tabs and I can keep focused on one specific task at a time. Let’s see if it works

Lets hope you get a raise to make it worth it or a job that’s just better overall

I feel like it needs to come with the expectation people work from the office now. If you want me to come in, you should let me leave as well so I don’t make the rest of the office sick

I’m feeling a bit better today so I’ve decided to go in. If that turns out to be a mistake I can always go home again

Catch lost its identity when it became an Amazon competitor. At least selling one thing a day at a massive discount was an interesting gimmick. It just didn’t stand out enough as a regular online store

I doubt when businesses are buying fleet laptops they go for the good ones.

The HP I had made sense for the department I was in. It had a built in privacy screen you could toggle with the fn keys

They’re no frills and just work. I wish they kept them more open so you could upgrade them more

I’ll need to check. It’s not an Inspiron, it’s larger and has this carbon fibre look that just smudges and wears immediately

This job has given me a Dell laptop, I had a Dell at my old job as well. I wouldn’t think there would be much difference between laptops these days, but these Dells are so heavy and have terrible battery.

I’ve had a HP previously and that was quite nice, but it seemed like a high end model. And I’ve also had thinkpads which are just reliable and the battery lasts forever by comparison

That’s great news. Let’s hope you get it

Felt quite gluggy when I woke up this morning so I’m working from home. I have a bit more of a cough and a runny nose now so I’m sure people appreciate me not going into the office

That always a bit scary. I always wonder if I’ll wake up to a weird notification from my doorbell but fortunately it hasn’t happened yet

Sounds like the way to go. If there’s no way up you’ll just have to move sideways

God, glad to hear you’re feeling better now

One of the boys had a croaky voice and now I’m feeling it too. Time to see how flexible the new job is with being in the office, lest they want everyone else to get sick too

I was like that before too, I like my FPSs but have gotten into the souls games since.

Things probably started really making sense after getting through the second game, but I also just jumped in and didn’t do much research ahead of time. Despite how hard people say the games are, there’s an active online community where you can play with friends or just other people to help get through the toughest parts.

I got the dates wrong and the Dark Souls community event actually ended on Friday, not started then. I’ll still do another play through but I won’t focus on trying to do coop as much

Bike service time. Get this sorted and I might do a few days to the new job on the bike. It will be a 30km round trip instead of each way
