Snowed In

This is the first Tuesday in a long time that I don't feel like killing myself. That's largely because I'm not in the office today because of the snow.

Before coming to the UK, we were told that it hardly snowed but here we are and for the second year in a row, it's snowing. I'm not going to lie, I thought global warming fixed all this crap. I guess all those electric cars are making a difference after all.

Frankly speaking, I find snow and the concept of living in a refrigerator absolutely horrible. There was a lot of excitement and conversation about it in the days leading up to today but I paid deaf ears to it.

The only positive in this wintery hell that we find ourselves in is that it is a nice excuse to not go outside. As a retired extrovert, I'm quite pleased with this situation.

So, for today, I'll be working from home and well, it's my first absence from the office, so there wasn't a big issue about it. Plus, I recently opted to be in the office a few more times than required to train new starters, so I'm sort of doing the company a favour and so, I've got some wriggle room.

I get put into impromptu meetings and coaching sessions that I frankly have no issues with. I don't mind being taken off calls from time to time and having to do admin work.
