That's some weird weather out there. Windy and warm?
Don't look at Tuesday and Wednesday though. Wednesday in particular... 11C maximum... big weather system coming in from the west. Ughggh but if it means rain in areas that desperately need it I'll tolerate it
I'll be working from home Wednesday next to the fireplace.
My current shitbox is so tiny I'd rather not work from home unless I had to. Now if I had a fireplace,... sigh.
Luckily the office is very close by, so if they could kindly give me some indoor work to do on the Wednesday I'll be grateful. I really wish I was on a flight to somewhere warmer though...
Surely you can petition for an office day when the weather is shit?
I've done that in the past with some verbal bullshit.
Probably can, it's tricky this week with my unavailability on other days due to this thesis BS and sometimes jobs require us to be out on specific days. It's my last week with these shenanigans though so I'm sure we can work something out. If not, I'm chucking a sickie lmao.
Seems like you are coming down with something. Better take care of it quickly.
Yes, all this academic writing and staring at Word has given me a case of compromised brain function (CBF)...
Bit of that going around.
I'm looking after a friend's place in the Yarra Valley for a few days, it's looking even colder and wetter. I will be parked by the fireplace Tuesday and Wednesday.
Oh dear lord it'll be brutal. Might want to set up a bed near that fireplace too...
