  • Almost the end of the shift.

    I’m enjoying my lunch break and catching up on some politics on YouTube – Donald Trump has become so toxic that there are now Republicans are saying to Trump “woah, woah, hang on, maybe you should sit this one out…” when it comes to Trump trying to involve them in senate and congressional races. The…

  • It makes you wonder.

    Just thinking of all the things that have occurred over the last few weeks – the speech given by Mark Carney, the free trade agreement between the EU and India, murmurs regarding China wanting to position itself as the reserve currency and all the discussion regarding the latest tranche of Epstein related documents that were…

  • Grocery shopping all done, back at home.

    I’ve come back home after having dinner with mum and on the way home I picked up some groceries – I was hoping to get the roasted seaweed that I normally get but the store was out of that so instead I went with the other brand they have there which will be good enough.…

  • It doesn’t have to be that way.

    I was watching a video on YouTube about ‘choice feminism’ and it reminds me of discussions regarding cultural norms that for many are treated as if they were something that are permanent – they always have and they always will exist. The more you study about history and anthropology the more you realise that, to…

  • Going to take Friday off.

    Feeling a bit better but not fully recovered. Tonight I went for a walk because I needed some fresh air and some exercise to get my body moving rather than just sitting around at home resulting in the inactivity making it worse. I have been making sure that I’ve had vegetables with every meal to…

  • It makes me wonder.

    I’ve watched a video and it makes me wondering whether the Trump administration has any sort of clue regarding what they want to achieve or are the 4 years going to be nothing more than grifting. I say this because there was a video recently where president Trump was asked regarding the value of the…

  • One more day to go.

    I was going to write a more ‘heavy’ blog post but I’ve decided to hold off until Monday or Tuesday after I’ve had a good night sleep rather than trying to construct a half decent argument after a long shift. The weather has just been plain crazy over the last few days so I’ve decided…

  • Back to working from home.

    I had my two days working in the office and now I’m back at home for work on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday the schedule is going to be a bit hectic but Sunday should be pretty quiet. I think that the first week back in the office has been a bit disruptive to the…

  • First day back in the office.

    It has been ages since I’ve been back in the office and the first day back feels really good – free coffee, plenty of fresh fruit to snack on for morning tea and afternoon tea. I’m going to have a quiet night tonight rather than going for a walk but I’ll go for one tomorrow…

  • Back in the office tomorrow.

    Well, that was a bit of a nuisance, I setup the alarm on my phone but I forgot to enable it so it would go off at 11:30am but luckily I woke up before 12:30 so I guess tomorrow will be my first day back in the office. I’m currently at the half way point…
