  • I’m so cold in the office today. I dress for the temperature outside but the air-con in this place is ridiculously strong. Plus there’s a draft exactly where I sit as well making it worse. It would have to be under 20 degrees in here. It’s nice right when you come back from outside, but not so much once you’ve cooled down. Need to remember to pack an office jacket for hot days.


  • I made breakfast, lunch and dinner (and coffees / drinks) at home while WFH today. My usual approach is not to clean up after each meal and leave it all to the end of the day. By the time I’ve finished making dinner and eating, my kitchen is a bomb site and takes a loooong time to clean up. It’s a real drainer and crappy end to the day. Trying to save money not buying food out as much but that means the kitchen mess multiplies. Thankfully no cooking at all tomorrow, I’ve got enough leftovers. I need a break!







  • Just sent a pretty forceful sounding / legally threatening email to a client that still owes me a couple of grand. 4 months overdue invoice, all kindly worded follow up emails totally ignored. Spoke to him on the phone a few weeks back, said he’d pay by the following week but never did. Just taking the piss now, and I’m angry.

    Give me my money, then they’re getting blacklisted for good. There’s more work to be done for this client (and I’m letting them think things will continue) but I’ve decided I won’t be doing it. I don’t want to work with people that have zero respect for what I do. I have the authority to say no, take your business with maybe payment elsewhere, and I plan to use it.
