It's a Thursday again. The worst day of the week. Or is it? Disguised as a Wednesday for those south of the border, and a Tuesday for those of us in the land of the Scots.

What are your moans for this day and this week, the first week of the work year?

Personally, I've added app timers to all my time sink apps in an effort to become less dependent on my phone. It's 9.40am and I've already maxed out Megalodon, so I'm onto Lemmy/Voyager. Going well.

Also... I'm still off with the kids. Edinburgh schools didn't break up until the 22nd of December. Which seemed like a good idea at the time, but we're paying for it now.

My beleaguered American colleagues largely didn't vacation over the holiday, so I'm still catching up with their emails and apologising every ten minutes, after a harrowing 9 hour drive back from Cornwall through 80mph gales and road closures courtesy of Henk. I want to smack twenty to fifty people at random.

St. Ives was nice.

St. Ives is amazing!

It's such a treat. I'd go again in a heartbeat, but next time it's got to be by train & during summertime.

[–] Twig@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

The train journey is beautiful. I hope you manage to visit in the summer!

Ah, the post holiday email catch-up. I don't have to deal with this any more because I'm self employed, but when I worked for a company my caffeine intake always increased considerably in those first couple of days back at work.

Sounds nice. I'd go for that, but I worry that I might be a bit of a cunt to work for.
