This is probably the first newsletter on a Sunday in a while! It’s been a very social weekend with a BBQ at my place yesterday. Most of the week not spent working was trying to figure out the guests/dietary requirements/logistics and shopping. Pre pandemic, I was managing to do 2-3 of these a year and […]
This week can simply be summarised by the word “jetlag”. If it wasn’t clear to me that I’m no longer a spring chicken then the sheer amount of time it’s taking to recover from flights is a good reminder for the self! There’s been some unexpected work hiccups but overall, back to being in the […]
This is my first time in Texas and I really didn’t know what to expect. I’ve moved to not really looking up what a place has to offer (apart from the basic maps, directions, safety info) so that I can kinda wander and get a feel for the place before looking up the Insta-famous locations. […]
Random snippets 2022-11-09 Was genuinely surprised that people noticed the email missing from their inboxes. I mean I do subscribe to regular newsletters too but takes me a while to notice if one hasn’t been there for a while. That was a nice surprise 2022-11-11 This is one of the few protected afternoons I have […]
This week felt like I had gone back and never had a break at all. Good thing that my normal cadence of travel is back and I’ll be away again in just over a week. Also, some flight credits were expiring so I have even planned out my new years trip! I’ve realised that having […]
Random snippets 2022-10-25 It’s the day after on-call. It wasn’t even that late a finish but it took me most of the day to recover. I really am getting too old for this! The Tesla needed servicing and I needed to catch up on paperwork. I was hoping to get cracking on a programming project […]
Daily moments 2022-10-17 First all day opthal list. Gotta say that RC is a fast operator. 16 cases by 3pm even after 2 long breaks! Exhausting, It was odd to finish the day so early. So many of my days finish late that I literally didn’t know what to do with myself! A quick nap […]
The week began after the long drive back from Shellharbour in the rain and more downpours later in the week in Melbourne that lead to the Maribyrnong river bursting it’s banks just a few days ago. That’s not too far from where I live, thankfully we were unaffected by any flooding. Hope where ever you’re […]
From the diary 2022-10-06 That slow creep of tiredness is already coming back. Probably means that I need more down time than anything else regularly in the schedule. I have to say that one thing I didn’t expect was LIKING going back to work as much as I did. 2022-10-07 It’s going to be a […]
It’s been a week of catching up on all things that I’ve ignored for the past month. So many emails, bills and little tasks add up to quite a mission. I think when you’re living your everyday life, you forget just how many little tasks there are. Only after coming back can I see the […]
