Work from home so decided to take a coffee break outside at a local cafe e.g the garden center. Presently surprised it was good service and decent food... coffee was good untill later that evening when both the wife and I were feeling a little worse for ware. Went to the sister company in the afternoon and had an expensed lunch with a colleague. Spent a good few hours figuring out and trying to wade through inter company politics. I think it's looking good, just focus on him and me working tog...

Day off today and am down in London for a Costume fitting. I'm going to be an extra for a Disney+ production. Man I had to wait and wait and wait.

Didn't finish until 5pm, no lunch be well at least I end up getting a full day's wage. ...

We are just collecting tiles and building equipment in preparation for when we extend the house. Also off to dinner for my Dad's birthday, haven't got him a present yet so poping to Waitrose to maybe get him some whiskey or something. ...

Been a few days since I've updated the diary. Not been up to much just work for the most part.

Product 2

Lesson Learned Communication is very important I work in a small company with a worldwide footprint. We have customers in 44 countries world wide. We have maybe ~30 people in the company. ~20 Europe ~8 in Asia 2 in the USA This should have indicated to me why communication is so important. Recently I was talking with the Asian team and I mentioned a revamp of some old products and they had no idea what these products were. I was shocked, these products are older than I have been working as ...

Halloween, I forgot it was Halloween. Never really been a holiday when I was growing up (only in my early 30's now) but seems to be pretty popular these days. Had a couple of kids take some sweets, but we had to call them over...Didn't realise the children are told to only "Trick or Treat" at houses that have a pumpkin outside. ...

Wanted a meatball marinara from subway but it's far too much money...maybe I'm getting old. So I made some today, it was amazing I was shocked how good it was.

Did 100 pushups in sets of 25, last 25 were so very hard! Thinking I might look into doing some work at the theater, I did some years ago at school and 6th fo...
