Easter Monday Office Status
Monday, 10 April 2023 16:25It's a quiet Monday in the office. Some people are "bridging" the holidays with their paid time off, one of the general admins had to take an ad-hoc sick day.
I took the chance to make quite some noise by SHREDDING PAPERS.
I now have a relatively cleaner cupboard.
I know Marie Kondo is now old news, but I think for some items, I need to do like how she used to preach: let it all go and keep only what brings you joy. Indeed, many of these items don't bring me joy. I'm just hanging onto them with a "just in case" mentality. That pair of shoes that's 2 sizes too big now that I've slimmed down a bit? They should go, but hey, in case I gain all that weight again then I need them! Let me just hang onto them for a bit! And they're soooooooooo pretty!
I hardly wore them back then when they fit; I doubt I'll wear them now that they don't properly fit.
But they were a tad on the expensive side, and I bought them in Austria. So okay. I'll keep them for a little longer.
Mission failed LOL.
I was reading a book about the Queen and it was interesting, but it was pretty long-winded. The loan on it has expired but I've dutifully kept my Kindle on airplane mode so it doesn't erase itself. But I'm starting to feel like reading another book instead. Ah. Choices. Maybe I'll see if I'll get some reading done on my flight to London. It's a midnight red-eye flight. The plan is to board the plane, read a bit in the dim light then hopefully fall asleep. And then wake up to 5am London. We're going to risk it and just choose the seats when doing the online check-in (24 hours before the flight). I'm thinking of doing something different. Since it's the 3 x 3 x 3 cabin (here here!) I'm thinking of convincing my friend to get seats either aisle across each other, or if she's clingy and wants to seat together then we get the middle column two seats together. That's because if we are on either window side, then we'll have to get up for whoever's at the window anyway. If we get to the middle column, then the one in the absolute middle can choose to get out either from the friend side or from the stranger side. And the stranger will never try to go across the 2 of us. So. That's the game plan for now.
