Six years ago today, I was almost eaten by my iMac when it developed a strong taste for my beard. #NeverForget

I’ve always been highly sceptical of standing desks and never took advantage of the one in the office. As an EM I’m generally up and about a lot of the day anyway. I just got one for home though and it is a godsend.
I wage eternal war daily with a computer, for example
Apparently I need computer navigated surgery and this really makes me even more uneasy about it
Autumn is the best season change my mind (you won’t)
I’ve ignited a gate keeping, semantic, No True Scotsman conflagration about Home Schooling™ on the wicked bird site after a very tongue-in-cheek jab. I am now being very schooled in my home.
Almost complete but will still need some adjusting of shelves because I am not a smart man 🥰

You can get it flailing
You can get it ailing
You can get it bending a gnau
Matter of fact I've got it now
It’s a lot better than the 20 year old thing I’d been sitting on from Harvey Norman which would draw blood occasionally where I’d removed the arms
I always wanted a HM Mirra in a certain turquoise and chrome colour but I now have a Steelcase Leap in pure old black
In the end though, have the issue forced will probably have a better result anyway rather than just dreaming about ideals
I’d been dreaming of setting up my home office perfectly for a while but of course I now have had that increase in urgency and am currently settling for different options because of lead times
Hope my internet friends on here are doing ok
My old team are the best and got me a board game gift voucher which I promptly redeemed
Happy Monday friends!
You might be surprised by the amount of coding I have done of late (none)
Somebody rescue me from the spiralling pit of the hell site
The last VHS I own. (Dat low res Enterprise cover image tho 😱)
