yeah i also had nil after effects from the ol fizzer vaccine thankfully. was a bit wired that arvo, but i can often be all over the place at the end of my work week depending on how hectic the consumers have been!

Was pushing my bike out the gate this morning, guy riding past doubled back and said thanks for some almost worn out MTB tyres I left out a few months ago. He said they suit his bike and was stoked.

SJ: watching arguments over what the wording of the lockdown LGA v 10km limit means in Sydney.

yeah, the wording is a bit dumb. I interpret it to mean I can go anywhere in my LGA, and have seen a couple of clarifications from NSW Health etc agreeing with this.
I accidentally wandered onto the NSW Health FB last night, and oh boy are there some stupid people out there.

SJ: Just sat down with my boss to tell her that I plan on quitting in September/October and will use all my saved up paid time off before then (about 40 days). She seemed unsurprised and receptive to my idea.

NSJ: Feel like I’m screwing my teams as we’ve been deep in the shit for about 2 months now with a huge project that keeps hitting major roadblocks. At the same time one of my counterpart teams in the EU all got the axe, other than the few that were staying on to train their replacements in Poland, just before this all began. So everything has been a massive mess with all pulling serious overtime.

SJ2: We closed on our building today and have started organizing builders for doing the site modifications and have started planning the buildout of our brewery.

SJ: Contacted out of the blue by someone interested in buying the GT Karakoram Clydesdale which sits in semi retirement in my shed.

NSJ: They’re outside my 5km radius, so sale can’t go through until lockdown is over.

FOA mafia 5km linking radii. A fixie 10km relay, boundary to boundary.

SJ: I finally finished all 6 seasons of The Sopranos (wiki says 86 episodes). It took me about 10 years to get through. …now what!?
