Tuesday 31st March, 2020

Talked to Bec after work to bounce ideals around agile in professional services. Went for a run listening to the ABC News podcast.

Monday 30th March, 2020

Prepared the parter charge back plan - watched the next few episodes of 'Dave' after work.

Sunday 29th March, 2020

Tried to toilet traon AJ for the first time, it turned into a lot of wet underpants Took AJ down to the spare field at Ballymore - he pushed his stroller around the field and threw rocks into the muddle to see the splashes it made.

Saturday 28th March, 2020

Shopped at Newmarket today - first big ship since COVID lockdown. The checkout attendant told me I'd have to pack my own bags. Had a weird experience trying to maintain social distancing at the bottle shop. Tried to fix my sim racing pedal load sensor, it didn't help.

Friday 28th March, 2020

Came up from the garage during the day to share in some cake - arrived and AJ was stuffing his face with chocolate cake and sprinkles, being silly for me while I took selfies of him.

Thursday 27th March, 2020

Talked to our VP of Product and aligned on the challenges and how we'd work - then started on the work for the CEO where I tried to get it going really well to make-up for the friction the other day. Walked to ALDI to get food - first time properly shopping since lockdown. It was seemingly normal there... maybe a little quiet, but not as crazy as I expected.

Wednesday 25th March, 2020

Had a bit of friction with the CEO, had to have a chat with him and my boss later that evening - and just generally felt horrible. Cried a little after the call - I'm not sure why he rattles me so much.

Tuesday 24th March, 2020

Content partner strategy - brought Bas up to speed after his week off.

Monday 23rd March, 2020

First proper session with Mark B at work - talked through our UK projects and way of working. Talked to Andy as I ate quiche for dinner - he's doing ok

Sunday 22nd March, 2020

Still in lockdown - Ba Ngoi dropped spring rolls over that I cooked. Nearly set the tea towel on fire by accidentally leaving it on the lid. Went for a run - and say a worker repainting lines on the path near ALDI

Saturday 21st March, 2020

Walked to ALDI with AJ in the stroller - it was full of people so I decided to not go in and just got a coffee on the walk back at an empty coffee shop just on the same road as ALDI in the industrial estate.

Friday 20th March, 2020

Ventured out to Merlo to get coffee - they wouldn't take the tins from home, not surprising given COVID-19. The delivery guy arrived with my new Kogan 34 monitor - rightfully wouldn't let me sign the device.

Thursday 19th March, 2020

Poured myself a glass of wine and worked late to get the Portfolio view updated and out. Was a bit weird - but relaxing all the same being in the garage at night drinking and working.

Wednesday 18th March, 2020

Managed to come up from the garage office for dinner with Julie, AJ, and Kai - Kai was sitting in his bouncer seat on table. Ordered my 34 Kogan screen after much deliberation.

Tuesday 17th March, 2020

Built a desk in my garage and started working at home - was tricky to setup the wireless router down there, but we got there. Long day with lots of frustrations - spent the night chatting to the CEO after we'd had a bumpy day.

Monday 16th March, 2020

Got told we'd be shutting the office to WAH until the coronavirus is under control. Went to IKEA after work to buy a desk - it barely fit in the 86, but I managed

Sunday 15th March, 2020

Afternoon ad-hoc birthday party at Downey Park for AJ and Elena. Took photos of the kids - first time I used my camera in ages.

Saturday 14th March, 2020

Shopping with AJ - couldn't find mince or tissues as the supermarket was low on stock with the coronavirus scare. They were limiting pasta to two packets per person

Friday 13th March, 2020

Checked out and walked to the office - got a banana and pecan bagel on the way in. Presented at the EoW call, then rushed to the airport. There were no screens in the plane - so I read my book. Watched the woman next to me nearly have her laptop crushed when the guy in front sat back - we both laughed.

Thursday 12th March, 2020

Lunch in Kings Park with Luke and Margaret - walked across to the playground on the island in the middle of the pond. After work we drove to the eastern part of the city, walking from a cove, across the steel swan-inspired bridge, to the stadium for a drink at the pub next door.

Wednesday 11th March, 2020

Long day in the office with Hays - finally went for a run to Kings Park, then into the city for dinner. Had ribs and burgers, and a glass of Shiraz that wasn't very nice

Tuesday 10th March, 2020

Finished the team workshop and went to Holey Moley for mini golf in North bridge. Braden won, with Margaret close behind - I managed third.

Monday 9th March, 2020

First day of the team workshop in Perth - took too long at lunch, and messed up our schedule. When to a beautiful beachfront restaurant for dinner to watch the sunset

Sunday 8th March, 2020

Flight to Perth for work - bumped into Susan at check in, and we grabbed a drink before take off.

Saturday 7th March, 2020

Took Kai to Alex's cafe - it was the first time he held him. He made AJ a cup of heating icing sugar and marsh mellows, which he proceeded to cover himself in chocolate.

Friday 6th March, 2020

Spent all day trying to get the slides/training ready for the Revenue Projects Workshop on Monday - worked through until 10pm at night.

Thursday 5th March, 2020

Lots of traffic dropping AJ off - found out it was because the street next to the Old Museum was blocked off with police. Met the new neighboru, Brandon, moving in with his Sim racing kit.

Wednesday 4th March, 2020

Put in an order on VGS today on CommSec. Got first financial breakdown out for the region's.

Tuesday 3rd March, 2020

First call with Sarah from Hays - both were on the same page around not having a clear view, and pulling one together.

Monday 2nd March, 2020

Finally finished 'The DevOps Handbook' and published my article. Watched the first moon buggy episode from Mighty Car Mods

Sunday 1st March, 2020

Helped Nath move - met Jenny for the first time. Jasmine's birthday at Everton Park Hotel. It was quite hot, and Kai didn't want to feed as he was unsettled
