Day 10 insanity
I have a confession. I did go a bit mad on day 10. I bought this for my impending Tesla.

Day 10
Having made a half-assed recovery from my suspicious illness. I remain in a self-ordained house arrest. I had 3 intranasal batterings before I was given a plastic freedom bracelet. The problem with the relative freedom is that it looks a little like this. https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwygj9qFipai9WV1WWjqLd2CQs8NZSRqzTVysLzozmjekprsasThaLx-XE-5_cH5L0cpZz2QycLTetr0qITT0Pn_-fbrtUvTzU-e4yn83fuGx4tecjwqjDA44Vl5dpo1skYIDGH MIQ has gone through a lot of changes since I have […]

What is even stranger is the Media uses tweets to create articles for people to read. Can you imagine 20 years ago a reporter writing an article on […]

In an undesirable plot twist my connecting flight from Australia to NZ has been cancelled with just over a week before I fly. There is just not a need for these anymore with the bubble between New Zealand and Australia on the way. This is sub optimal. Luckily, the impending bubble has freed up a […]
Homeward boundish
I start my journey back to New Zealand in nine days. The global pandemic which ebbs and flows has altered my natural work rhythm. Given we isolate when returning to work and some of us isolate when we return home. 8-week swings have become 12 weeks. An ex-colleague and old friend Sam labelled an Engineers […]
A Sweet Spot
