Week 33: Weird flex but ok
April 21, 2019
- I had a bit of a dicky tum tum this week. I never realised how often you get sick when you have a baby.
- This was our last week in the current work building. Pretty excited to be moving to the new office. Obviously some of it will be rubbish but I view these kinds of things as boring resilience tests (I’m serious!). Also - nothing will compare to the suffering of the BERG move from the airy workshop space with skylights (now a WeWork) to the nylon carpet condemned Epworth House on City Road (now some other off-brand co-working space)
- I think I might be having an existential cri- oh no sorry my period is due. Never mind.
- I have learnt a new put down: “Weird flex but ok”. You say it when someone is humblebragging about something. You know like this: “I’m the only person at work that uses Linux”, “Weird flex but ok”.
- I have a new favourite Product Manager at work - Matt product manages the FT’s audio work but is also a PROFESSIONAL BAKER?!?!?! And every so often he brings in left-overs from his Saturday stall at Crystal Palace market. The cakes he brings in are absolutely delicious and totally beautiful. Check out Brett & Bailey.
- NEW BEYONCÉ!!! She is otherworldly. What a breathtaking performance.
- I had Thursday off this week with E. My god it was heaven. She was a dream. We went to Mayow Park twice, looked at plants, played shop with the other children in the park, went down the big slide.
- On Good Friday we went to another park with some other friends, one of who is Edith’s “best friend” from nursery. E kept chasing her friend and trying to cuddle her and they appear to have their own language?!
