I had an apartment inspection again today, probably checking that I'm not selling drugs on the premises or something unusual. It's good I suppose...
I woke up at 8:00 which was great, did a bit of cleanup abd stuck some music on and I was ready for A) the inspection and B) working from home.
Did our 'stand-up' meeting as per usual at 9:30 but only this time I was cunningly sitting down and dialed in. The sun was beautifully streaming through the windows.
After the inspection, I decided to head into the office - only to walk into another dev meeting in which our whole team got somewhat of a bashing for various things leading to our delay in the product release date. Then, like it had been co-ordinated, I had to manage dealing with a new employee that was asking millions of why-don't-we-do-this-rather-instead-of that type questions(which I was generally happy to do) and really everything just seemed to be a product of my decision to leave the comfort of my flat a couple of hours prior, to go to work. How daft? In all seriousness I like being in the office when I'm working but not today it seemed.
Rather incumbent with the days turn out I decided to at least invest in lunch, wrote a few emails and grabbed some lunch with the aim to read some of my new book on the stairs outside our building. Didn't turn out that way either: a cold wind blew much of my patience away much to my dismay as not only was it cold, the wind was literally a page turner - but I wasn't ready for those pages turning. At the end I resorted to going back to the office with 20 mins of my lunch break spare and read there, which was ok as i sat away from the office in a type of lounge but was then scooted when an unscheduled meeting decided to invade my space - I moved.
What a pain. Generally, and in every way thus far.
I dealt with it.
On the plus side, I get to go home to a nice clean flat. I can probably read my book and I'm hungry: All good things today seem to revolve around my apartment and everything else for now is an exception to calm and content.
Also, seeing that I'm summing up pluses here - I used my travel card for my trip into work today, which I payed for (it's part of a weekly travel card I bought yesterday), suppose that's something...and the inward journey was not crowded and pretty calm. Thats another something...
Still. Somehow, kinda think that I've come out second best today and feeling rather sorry with myself and decidedly hoodwinked.
Meh.
