I had a good day today, I got out of bed at around 9:45am, left home for my walk at around 11:15am, arrived back at around 11:30am, watched a few YouTube videos as I was cooling down then had a shower, got dressed then headed to work on the train. It does feel kind of funny getting up a lot earlier than I would normally – the feeling of having accomplished something by making the best of the day rather than getting up and heading into work while still not feeling fully awake. At work we had an Easter get together with work mates and the company provided some nibbles.

While I was at the office I ordered a few things for delivery – the convenience of being able to get what I need delivered so that by the time I get home it has already been delivered. This is the reason why I always push back against those who compare the AI bubble to the dot com crash – the business models of ‘make a loss off every sale but make it up on volume’ was a ridiculous idea but what it did was allowing the laying of the foundation for more established retail players to enter the market because the demand was there but the challenge was creating a sustainable business model around it.

I’ve got work on Friday but I’ll be working from home – a nice walk before work and then settle in for a day off either one of two things – craziness as people spend their time off using our services or it will be dead quiet. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens. After work I’ll go for another walk so in a day I’ll end up walking 16km so as long as I walk each day I’ll be walking close to 100km in a week.
