    Fridays are great because we don’t have our useless and overly long morning stand-up meeting.

    Fridays aren’t great because we instead have an even longer sprint review meeting that doesn’t start until 4:30…

        Usually like 35-40 minutes. Problem is, they are a growing start-up that hasn’t grasped that they have grown too big to still have company-wide stand-ups.

          Sheesh. That’s like a townhall (except most of this info really is irrelevant to you) every morning then? The worst I’ve had is around 20 mins and the best is 5 (luckily 5 at the mo)

      Feel your pain there. Used to work at an agency that did this and also had a sprint review on Monday morning…

        I thought my work was cool for finishing at 4:30 with the drinks fridge opening. 3:30! How good is that!

    The donut hut is back in town now it’s summer! Been waiting for it since last year. I love me some fresh, sugared donuts. Partner has a half day so 3pm you best believe I will be stuffing my face with freshly fried goodness.

    Half day today, husband is going away tomorrow until Tuesday so I get the house to myself. I’ll do what I always do, immediately revert to my natural nocturnal rhythm.

    Got some sewing to do and maybe even a knitting group to go to and talk to real human beings. Gonna gamedev my little heart out and slob around in my pyjamas surrounded by an increasing pile of unwashed plates. No bedmaking, craft projects taking over the house instead of just their assigned room, knickers everywhere. I also have to watch exactly 11 episodes of Star Trek TOS so we’re synced up and can continue on together next week.

    Then ten minutes before he’s due home I’ll have a quick square round and everything will go back to normal.

    (the actual todo list for this weekend includes things like “clean the bathroom” and “learn Greek” but the above description is way more likely to actually happen)

        Three and a half days of no adult supervision, baby! (conveniently forgetting about any actual work I’m supposed to be doing on Mon/Tues, shhh)

    Just about to use a paint sprayer for the first time, after destroying my last roller handle with my over-exuberance. Wish me luck!

      Used one to paint the shed last year. Did a great job on the shed. Also, lawn, paving, hedge etc.

      That’s a coincidence. We’ve just got a paint sprayer that we’re hoping to try out this weekend for the first time too.

      So much quicker! Just start from the middle so you know how wid it’ll spray before you get to the edges… Especially if spraying near a neighbour boundary 😬

    I wish I had something to do. Instead I’m going to get my eyes checked with drops that make you look high as a kite to make sure I’m not going blind

    I work on a rota, so I’ll be working through the weekend until Wednesday lunchtime. However, I’ve come to Anglesey to work which is a lovely place. Unfortunately, my work requires dry weather and it’s currently raining.

    Getting out of work early to drive down to Plymouth for the weekend to meet up with some old mates. Hotel rooms are all booked up due to a Rod Stewart gig, so staying in an Air BnB for the first time.

    Had my IBM Cloud certification exam today. It’s been a massive source of stress and they’ve been pushing folk to get it in before mid year reviews. Got 94% so chuffed to bits. Off to pick up a few cans and then chill on Warcraft after I feed the weans etc

    Local club day this weekend, so probably be going there. And hopefully it won’t be 30 degrees like the last one we went to!

    Home at half 2 last night after far too many drinks with the lads, working today. The joys of not getting hangovers.
