First world problems in a Covid world
And so NSW is officially in lock down state wide. It’s been weird watching the pandemic remotely and just as the world appears to be getting back to some sort of normality, where I live suddenly bucks the trend with bigger numbers that we’ve had throughout the entire crisis. Schools are closed, 10:45am triggers a…
And so we’re back into some sort of Covid thing. We’re not in lockdown where I am but the slimy little bastard is making its way here slowly and so everyone has to wear a mask, both at work and whilst out and about doing stuff. That’s fine, no problem. For me it means I…
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…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
Today was an opportunity to learn. Learning how to do cardless cash because I forgot my wallet when leaving home to go to the office today. So, it turns out that, spending record amounts of hours alone in a caravan can actually bring on early dementia. On the plus side my favourite coffee shop has…
