Crossroads

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Detrecto

When I log into this blog to write a new post, I look to the right to pick a category that best fits what I’m about to blog about. With that being said I never know what I’ll write about when I open up a blog post. And secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I’ve noticed…

Monday Secrets

Posted on September 20, 2020 by Detrecto

For what feels like the 47th time this month I have a cold. It’s one of those colds that I tend to get during winter or when the weather changes. It’s been the same pattern since I was a child. However in Covid times it feels like I should pop off and have a test…

Decision Fatigue

Posted on September 17, 2020 by Detrecto

Back working from home due to a cold, back in the caravan of misery, back into blogging when I should be working. Back trying to self motivate, back trying to convince myself that I can do this work. Just back. And speaking of Back – when working from home I usually listen to music or…

Fuck Covid

Posted on August 16, 2020 by Detrecto

Covid can go fuck itself. It’s been a pretty shit week. I’ve needed some time off work as I’m suffering from a certain level of burnout and I was planning to speak to my GP this week about the possibility of some mental health related sick leave. A bout of suspected mild pneumonia put pay…

I Am Inevitable

Posted on August 10, 2020 by Detrecto

Back working from home as a result of a lot of rain and a small spike in Covid cases locally. In reality, what this looks like: Me getting some shitty flu like symptoms, having a day time sleep for the first time in ages and rocking up for a 3rd Covid test in the space…

Back To The Future

Posted on July 12, 2020 by Detrecto

And so another week starts of being a cross between Mr Freeze and Jesse Pinkman – stuck in a caravan but freezing cold. On the plus side I have managed to snag a tiny plug-in heater so my feet are warm. Today’s a weird day. I have all of the thoughts but none of the…

Good Health

Posted on May 31, 2020 by Detrecto

I had a Covid-19 test today. I got a mild sore throat last night and have had a small cough as well as aching muscles. For all the world it feels like a very minor cold but off to the local hospital I trekked on the advice of the Covid line and was duly jabbed…

WFH – Learnings

Posted on May 27, 2020 by Detrecto

It’s absolutely and perfectly acceptable to attend an office zoom call with a hood on if you’re cold and other people on the call can substantiate the temperature where they are. Working from home dumbs people down. Today I picked up two hot cups of tea, cupping them with my hands. Burning my hands in…

Driving

Posted on May 24, 2020 by Detrecto

I get to go to the office today – which is a 40 minute drive on a country highway where I probably won’t see too many other cars and I’ll have the opportunity to pop a podcast on and enjoy a total of 1.5 hours of solitude. It feels weird in a lock down world….

Meeting People

Posted on May 17, 2020May 20, 2020 by Detrecto

Restrictions lifted a little at the end of last week where I live. So over the weekend I got to meet friends for breakfast. In a cafe. In public. With other humans. It was a surreal experience after several weeks of lock down. It’s not as if stuff has been particularly weird where I am…
