Commuted to London this morning, as I so often do, now we are doing three days a week in the office. This morning was a bit different, they seem to have halved the train down to six carriages. So standing room only, all the way from Folkestone. St Pancras looked to be quieter than normal, which was odd. But then the office was very busy. Some people in the team couldn't find a desk.
Ran at lunch, down over Blackfriars bridge, along the riverside to Waterloo bridge, and back along Fleet Street. The streets very busy, so a bit slower, but it did feel an easy run today. It's nice doing a different route.
Showered back at work and pretty much straight into a huge planning meeting. I started off doing the meeting from my desk, but thene the battery in my headphones went. No problem I just need to find somewhere quiet and I can carry on. Could not find a spare booth or even a desk in all five floors of the building. I had to find a meeting room where some other people were in the same call as me, and then do the rest of the meeting standing up.
Apart from all the meetings a reasonably productive day, but only because someone fixed one thing I'd been waiting on. Tomorrow from home will be more productive where I hope I can find some time to use the new fixed thing. It's been my access to a third party graphql api, or rather something that feeds into that api so that I can query it. I am double booked for tomorrow though, got a new project to start on. It sounds like it plays to my strengths though and I can achieve quite a lot just with my knowledge and experience rather than actual hard work. That's the dream isn't it? That's the kind of things I've been working for thirty plus years for. Crikey it's thirty-five years now isn't it?
Home, via Tesco, where I got some bargain food for tea so had a lovely pasta feast. T2 had had some friends round for tea so they'd all had meat pasta.
They're watching Traitors on the TV again, so that's why I'm doing this instead.
Light cloud and a gentle breeze, 3 - 6℃.
