MIQ Musings – Day 10

MIQ Diary – Day 10 – I have only made this letter longer because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

Another 430am wake up. To put a positive spin on it, I got to make use of the entire day, plus it’s a really convenient to call my sister in the UK to discuss my brother’s estate. Every insomniac cloud has a silver lining, although I think this one is fraying at the seams slightly.

I had a good chat with my sister – we resolved a number of issues and made some plans, and all before 5am. Perhaps tomorrow I will sleep in. Wishful thinking never fails, after all.

A phone health check today. Apparently they were short staffed again. I wondered what other things they had to do that are considered higher priority. Then I read the article about 1600 border staff still unvaccinated, and I figured perhaps they were getting a jab. We should be so lucky.

So yet another day full of spreadsheets, and preparation for a big software release tomorrow morning. We had a couple of wobbles late in the preparation but everything ended up looking good.

Lunch and dinner were served, and as usual I couldn’t remember what I ordered so the surprise kept me occupied for something equating to Planck Time.

The evening was spent reading. I also made the grave mistake of thinking it would be a good idea to start watching Indiana Jones and the Kindgom of the Crystal Skull. My advice to you – never do this.

I tried to stay awake for a bit longer, hoping that it would help my wake up time but after experiencing that Spielbergian mess I decided the remainder of the day wasn’t worth experiencing. And so to bed.

Apologies if these posts are getting repetitive. If you’re getting bored reading them then it’s a function of my inability to make the repetitively inane MIQ experience remotely interesting. Only a couple of days left now. You can do it!
