Thank you 🥰 Still not 100% but having a very chill day yesterday has helped massively. Today I’m going to settle down with a book for a while and see where the day takes me.

The useful part of creating these end of day updates comes from being able to shove them all into the tool of choice and have it generate a summary every quarter of the work I’ve done. This should save me some effort come performance review season. If I need to update my CV, the info is there too.

Since this post, I started posting a daily end of day update on Slack to summarise the work I’ve done, and yesterday it started saying I was a “QA Engineer and software developer” - I guess this highlights the importance of making your work visible in this new world of AI summaries.

I saw a review for these knives which stated that the reviewer’s partner managed to chop the top of her finger off very easily with one of them 😅 I’ve been very careful as a result of this!

Right? I am really looking forward to showing the next butternut squash who’s boss with these new knives, they feel dangerous.

It feels so icky, I don’t want to publicly congratulate myself for doing my business as usual work which is expected of me 😂

Like the living kind or the cleaning kind?

Thank you so much ❤️ The dress brought me so much joy to wear, I just felt magical! It was super soft material too so it was mega comfy.

Thanks so much ❤️
And it’s lovely that you did that for her! I was lucky that nobody seemed particularly invested in me being traditional, so I just went all out 😂

Haha, thanks! Nice to have something to celebrate for once 😂

This is such a kind offer ❤️ I’ve got an unusually busy few weeks coming up but if the offer still stands afterward I’d love to take you up on this. Thank you!

Honestly, your replies have helped me more than you know. Just knowing it’s possible with real life examples to get better is so comforting. Today we got back on a call and he was driving instead, which gave me a break. And I still felt anxious, even then.
