It’s been a dumb week at work and particularly so today. My plan is fish and chips on the way home then watch Rogue One tonight, having just finished Andor season 2.

It’s important to celebrate your personal achievements.

📺 Early dinner with friends and then we’re sitting down to watch the final three episodes of Andor.

Some call it a gift, some call it a curse.

Enamel badge pinned on a blue jacket. The pin has a white cloud in the middle section, a rainbow behind the cloud on one side, a yellow sun on the other side and a yellow lightning bolt coming out at the bottom. Inside the cloud it says - professional overthinker.

We have the annual “let’s review our values” workshop today. I have my HR buzz word bingo card ready.

Went to bed early at 9:30 but that plan has been foiled by the fire alarm going off in the building behind me and waking me up. Sigh.

👀 Rocked up to visit friends and she flings the door open belting out Hungry Eyes from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Her husband just calls out “don’t engage, you’ll regret it”.

Morning wine helps me get the day started.

Challenge for my work colleagues today - don’t make me tap the badge.

📺 Finished S6E7 of The Handmaid’s Tale and I can’t wait to listen to the Eyes on Gilead podcast unpack this! The pro-Nick camp will struggle to find a positive angle this time to counter Luke’s “fucking nazi” comment!

So much about to happen and only three episodes left. Bye bye Bell coming up!
