Went to office for the third day in a row today. Think 3 days in a row really wears me down. Look at how spoiled I've become, until the pandemic I'd happily go to office all 5 days a week! Today was an early start as I had to drop Shruti at the city centre for her doctor appointment and then get to office early as I was interviewing students for 10 month placement. Got to work with just enough time to prepare, but as this was the second time in a few weeks I was doing interviews, my preparation was super quick and it went nice and smooth. I even made myself a large coffee that I sipped on while interviewing the first couple of candidates! I realized I prefer interviewing in person instead of over zoom. For some reason (maybe because I was so tired and somewhat sleep deprived), I didn't have lunch today. Just fruit! Finished work, picked up Shruti from her office, dropped her off at the gym, only for her to find out that the swiming pool was closed till 8:30pm. As a result, I also missed my wednesday evening cavehil walk with the club. Got home, ate my "lunch" for dinner, and was going to head to the "cHILL" cafe to meet the walking club, when my phone rang just as I was getting ready to leave, and I got too late to make it. Spent the rest of the evening talking to Shruti and watching youtube. Today was my last day in office for 2023, as we've been allowed to work from home for the rest of the year. Feels like 2023 is drawing to a close when the "last of the year" things start happening!
