Went to office again today - this time not because of anything in office, but because I had to get to east Belfast after work. I was supposed to cycle to work today - pumped the tyres, filled my cycle waterbottle, but when it was time to leave, it started raining, so I decided to take the motorbike instead. By that time, it was clear I'll be late for work, so I decided to join my 9:45am call from my phone and speak via the headset in my helmet. I was ready to leave, but "zoom" has such a terrible UI that if I left, I wouldn't be able to join the call on the way. So I waited in the driveway for the call to start, and left once the call was on! Interestingly, the call lasted the exact duration of my commute, and I disconnected right as I got out of the parking lot and to my desk. We went to Zizzi for a team lunch - our first ever, as we're finally a team big enough to actually make going out worthwhile! Had duck leg confit, and I must say, duck might be one of my favourite things to eat! After work, I headed to C.S. Lewis square for the Santa cycle ride organized by Sustrans. There was quite a turnout, and I was "ride assistant", tasked with staying at the very end of the group to make sure there are no stragglers. Couldn't take any photos/videos myself due to my responsibilities, but a few were captured by other volunteers. Fun memory! I should have come better prepared - others wore their Santa hats, Christmas jumpers, etc. At least, I had my (borrowed) bike decked up in multicoloured lights, so yay! Did groceries, got home super hungry, and cooked turkey mince in vindaloo masala. Turned out super spicy!
