HR are a necessary evil; but I've never met one who wasn't a self-aggrandising, narcissistic, empire builder who thinks they put in a hard day
mentoringchattingwasting other peoples time.There is a colossal difference between HR folks depending on their level.
Senior: Firm first, screw the workers, act like in love with the CEO
Mid: Power trip, narcissistic, arse kiss of Senior HR, waste of space for both the firm & the workers.
Junior: Lovely, often quite hot, nervous & naive -
So looking at next running event. London now does something called The Big Half which looks like could be a lot of fun. Here's the sales pitch:
Organised by London Marathon Events, The Big Half is a vibrant, inclusive half marathon with a fun, festival atmosphere. The 13.1 mile course weaves through London from Tower Bridge to the iconic Cutty Sark in Greenwich.
I'll pass, thanks.

We haven't got to the point where professionalism means I can finish an email response to a client like this:
Appreciate we're all busy and if you feel this isn't a productive use of your time, feel free not to attend the workshop. fluffybunny.

I don't actually hate Tom Sainsbury that much. But that meant I started watching his movie Loop Track on a flight to Aussie a few months back. Near on unwatchable. I lasted all of 15 minutes before giving up.

I was meant to be facilitating something today as part of our quarterly "Big Room Planning". Wasn't really looking forward to it as I have actual work to do, but I'd prefer it over sweating and coughing.

I fucked my shoulder on Sunday and had to drive to work instead of riding. Woke up to find I'd inexplicably run out of coffee. And to top it all off my building pass isn't ready so I have to be escorted everywhere on the client site like a child.

@antipodean hopefully it's one of those ones that's so secure you can't even get to the toilet without a pass so the woman escorting you has to wait outside the gents for 15 minutes while you escort last night's chilli chicken.

37C day inbound. FUCK.After 4 days of feeling like shit, I've downgraded to "feeling flat" and taking no medication for ~24 hours. The end is in sight., and the weather has cooled.
Stepped on the scales this morning - the complete lack of appetite, combined with sucking down fluids and not lifting weights for a week, has resulted in my weight falling below 105kg for the first time probably this year.
Not all bad then
