Teen comes up behind me in gym. I turn around. He says nothing, just gestures with his hands. I knew what he was asking but I said “sorry, are there any words?”. I’m not hurrying up if you can’t be bothered to ask nicely how long I have left on a machine.
Being in this place gives me an interesting insight into Gen Z manners. They said millennials were entitled….

I’m giving a presentation at co-working tomorrow for businesses in the building. I was expecting little to no interest, the room fits about 10 to 12 people and 9 people have already sent a RSVP. Working on my slides at the moment. I’m excited but also quite nervous, been a while since I’ve done presenting like this! If it goes well I’ll be rolling this out at other locations, so hopefully I’m not a nervous wreck tomorrow.

My backyard jizz trees are in full bloom and extra stanky today when the wind blows the right way. So many bees buzzing around too.

Sounds like you’re going to have a good day. Happy bday!

Roasted potato has to be on top, but hot chips (not shoestring, proper hot chips) and potato chips are very close behind.

That looks so good, I would be digging into that right away if I saw it at a bday event.

Who does that? Very sloppy, sounds like you dodged a bullet.

If a stranger is being / sounding rude, do you match their rudeness in return or try to kill them with kindness? I’ve had two such encounters over the past few days, tried both approaches and felt unsatisfied each times.

Do you think being able to play other instruments helps with learning new ones quickly? I was learning piano for about a year but I found it pretty difficult, never seemed to click with me.

My co-working has these taps, one of the main reasons I signed up. It’s a simple thing but feels like a luxury at the same time. They’ve also got taps for cold and tepid water too, something for everyone.

So far it’s all smooth sailing with using my friend to help me with some business design stuff. It’s much easier explaining what you want to someone who already gets the way you think. They also seem really excited to be working together again, we made a good work duo. So fingers crossed it stays all positive.

I was sure I wouldn’t like the movie and get on the soundtrack hype train, but I was wrong.

Do you think using a friend to help with providing some services I need for my business is a bad idea? On the plus side, we worked together for many years (and still friends after both leaving) and I know they’re good at what they do. I don’t have to go searching for a provider either, which is a drainer. On the possible negative side, I don’t want any feedback / input on their work to impact our friendship - I would probably be more reluctant to give this compared to using someone I don’t know personally. I don’t think the negative part will come to light but you never know.

It’s basic but just having a regular week where I can move freely. Going back to social sports after a few weeks off. Last week was awful from my back injury and the constant pain.

I’m stealing “suburban day” to explain my day to people. My inner city friends wonder about life in the burbs, it’s unremarkable but there’s a peace to it as well.

I have them, they’re great headphones. Are your earbuds noise cancelling? That’s the main benefit of using the XM4’s. They have great sound too.
Can you try them on in store?

Just sent my biggest client proposal yet (in terms of the $$ it will bring in). I think I’ve reeled this client in to using me but I can never be sure. I’m always worried about being too expensive too but also need to charge my worth and what is fair, I ain’t out here to be the cheapest provider. Fingers crossed they go ahead. This will be a big moment for me if I get this work.

Great idea, a day for you whenever you can manage is so important. Perfect weather for it too. Enjoy!

My lower back is still no bueno. Impossible to sit in my office chair and not get pain, did as much as I could but I’m in bed now. Physio helped a bit but it’s not a miracle cure. I waddled around the block for a bit to keep my back moving, waddling is all I can muster right now. I got a few puzzled looks from my slow strange movement haha. Pleeease be better by tomorrow.

What?! That’s terrible, hopefully you find a new role quickly.

Did my lower back yesterday, nothing more humbling than when your back goes out in a bad way. Getting out of bed this morning was not fun at all.
Not going to be able to do any of the things I planned today, just resting up until I can see a physio tomorrow.

I’m the type to help keep the door open if someone is not too far behind me, walking the same direction. You know, politeness and all. Just witnessed someone at the gym look back, see me walking towards them, open the door the slightest amount (push open and it automatically shuts) and then it slammed right in my face. Thats humanity for you.

They’re in the service industry as well, they know exactly what they’re doing. Makes it worse! And they’re getting very good value from me to begin with, squeezing that scope for all its worth. Prices are going to go up I think.

This client keeps trying to slide more work into any proposal I give, it’s really frustrating. I say it costs $X to do Y, they agree to the cost but then say oh we want to include Z too. No, the price is for Y only. I hate having to put my foot down and say no sorry, it will cost more, but I have to be firm or I’ll get walked all over.

The new smoking while walking on the street is vaping while walking. Just as disgusting and vape clouds linger for longer, so you’re more likely to breathe in the second hand smoke. I made disgusted sounds and quickly walk past.
