It feels wrong to upvote this. Hoping for a successful procedure and gentle recovery.

This comment about odoo software made me think of that Bowie song from labyrinth where he says “voodoo who do you do the power of the baaabe!”

So things are really looking up.

Missed my train back home, now I’ve got to wait 45 minutes in the middle of nowhere.

Maybe the universe thought you needed 45 minutes to just sit, chill, and look out at things you don’t normally see.

Two more days at the old job. It’s going slower than molasses. Usually there is hoopla planned when someone leaves this team but I haven’t heard anything about that happening. I can’t decide if I rather duck out quietly or do the hoopla.

This weekend there is a big block party happening near me. I said I wasn’t gonna go but I changed my mind. I like getting out and going amongst people sometimes.

Visiting the head office, something I don’t do very often. Mostly to give people a proper farewell and go through the offloading regarding my work laptop et al. Tomorrow is my last day here.

“It’s visible that you’re field crew. It’s not often that people hand in their laptop, and the dirt is in the outside instead of covering the keyboard. On that note, once it’s off the domain you can keep it, we don’t need it”.

So I guess I’ll be using the same laptop in my new job, starting Monday.

I’m starting a new job on Monday too - with the same laptop. Will you still be working in the field or are you trading that for indoors?

Same as before mostly. Maybe a little bit more home office. I expect maybe 80% supporting the operations from home, and 20% in a port somewhere on the other side of the world. I like it that way: Either I’m seeing the world, or I’m chilling at home.
