Day 69/183: Cat and boy

[nanila]

Telstar sniffing Keiki's fingers.

I don't know what it is about this week, but it's kicking my butt. Work has suddenly become full-on again after a lull whilst everyone adjusted to this being-home-all-the-time, virtual-meetings malarkey. The day flies past and suddenly it's 9 PM and I just want to sit in front of the telly with a beer and stare at the Great British Sewing Bee. It could be worse.

Love that photo.
Hope the last couple of days of the week improve.

Thank you. Am slowly plugging through today. I think there will be a major *flump* tonight.

Hugs back. Also, tea.

Tea is always good!

Awww, speccy Keiki! So cute.

I don't know why but loads of people I know (including me) have kind of collapsed in the middle like sad cakes this week. I don't know if it's cumulative stress, or some kind of mid-pandemic hump, or what, but it's eerie. I hope your week improves.

He is particularly adorable in his glasses.

Ha, yes, to paraphrase Eddie Izzard, I feel like the Austro-Hungarian empire: slowly collapsing like a flan in a cupboard. The week got better toward the end but tbh today has been the highlight because it's the weekend.

Same same on work. Last few weeks it's been millions of emails but quite a bit of flex in how much I have to involve myself in and lots of meetings where we all went "wellity wellity well! Isn't this a thing!" and now it's usual term-intensity and horrible turnaround times with added weirdness of being at home permanently.

It is nice for the days to fly by - and like you, collapsing onto sofa at 8 or 9pm is quite a righteous exhaustion.

[nanila]

Yep. I'm very much looking forward to the three-day weekend next weekend.

It's a lovely picture of cat and boy.

Work is ramping up here, as well, given that the organization seems to have made some decisions about how they want to try having is do work things from home. When it kicks into overdrive, probably about the time they start letting us know about summer designs, the time is definitely going to start moving faster.

[nanila]

Thank you.

That sounds good? Nerve-wracking at first but then quite satisfying, having direction and purpose.

[silveradept]

There is a distinct sense of the story of the people trying to describe the elephant only by knowing a small amount of it. I would like to believe this is because their plans were accelerated, but the lonely reality is that they never had to think about the idea of remote work for my profession, and they're making it up as best they can as they go along.

This is a cute picture. I like Keiki's glasses; he looks cute in this particular pair.

*hugs* to work. I hope this weekend offers a bit of respite.

[nanila]

Aw, thank you. Unfortunately this is the pair that fell in the canal. We can't get it replaced until we can physically go into the shop again.

Thank you. Yes, today was relaxing. The weather was good, we did quite a lot in the garden, and we made nice food.
