Samsterby

When I started my current job we didn't have childcare on Wednesdays, so I negotiated a 4-day week. I'm very glad of this and even though the smallest one is now at school there's no way I'm going to work 5-day weeks again if I can possibly avoid it.

It gives me a bit of space to do some of the bazillion things I need and want to do – and occasionally just to sit around in my pants. Highly recommended, do lobby for it.

Today, I mostly:

🧺 Did loads and loads of laundry 🚲 Shuttled the children to and from school 💻 Messed around setting up this blog (it's self-hosted here at home, running on the NAS, with a Pi doing ingress) 🍗 Made schnitzels 🗝️ Pondered authentication and access management (which is both a work problem and increasingly a domestic problem) 🎹 Had a piano lesson (working on some Beethoven)
