In Other News – 11 February 2016

Caracal Kittehs

Last night I went to bed with my mind made up. I would get up early, and I would run my usual route. It was sound plan indeed!

And then my alarm went off this morning, and I snoozed it without so much as a second thought. The same happened with my second alarm, and my third.  How on earth am I ever going to get up to do an early run? I’m not even consciously aware that turning my alarms off!

In Other News: Rocket League has been remade in Halo 5, Driveclub gets stuff this month, Cosplay, and new Fallout 4 mods.

Here’s all the news we didn’t post today, because we were too busy realising that running at the crack of dawn is literally impossible.

      so, in other words, if your employers need you to stay later, they need to delay the daily round-up here?

        Nope, the ION just reminds me to go home.

        I’m always on the clock though, so yeah, I duck at 16h00 to miss SOME of the mess on the N1/N14

          I hate traffic and meetings that leave me outside of my city at this time annoy me.

            A year or so ago a we made a decision to start a few minutes earlier in the morning, and leave a few minutes earlier in the afternoon, just to avoid the main afternoon rush.

            I used to do that myself, when I lived further away.

            Also, with kid at home, I want to maximise that time. I suppose early start, early leave is better for that scenario

            I would love to do something like that but our company doesn’t allow it. I currently start at 6:30, but can’t even attempt leaving before 17:00.

            No, no. I stayed about 20km away, which was an hour drive at rush hour. (Pretoria FAAAR East to Arcadia) So, I arrived before 7 and left just before 18:00. For about 3 years. Twenty minute drive then

            Other problem is, depending on your job, you need fixed hours.

            I’ve been here 3 years and one month now.
            Luckily, however, I live really close by. Mornings that time takes me ten minutes at the most. Afternoons can be anything between 15 min and 40 min depending on traffic and time of year (because Capetonians lose their sh*t when it’s raining)

            That is my setup now, except rush hour can take as long 1h45. But luckily office hours completely flexible and in-office hours not required 5 days a week.

      One day I too will only work specific hours and get to leave at 4.
      One day. 😛

      Darnit, I have to stay late. Not because of work, but because of social engagements 🙂
