Alarms update (279/365)
Oct. 6th, 2021 07:35 pmMonday: first alarm went off at 17:15, I toddled off to wash up my mug, stopped to speak to someone briefly, got back into my office just as the 17:30 alarm gave up in disgust after ten minutes, left the building at 17:48.
Tuesday: similar to Monday but left the building at 17:43, racked with guilt at slacking off.
Today: first alarm went off at 17:15. I was in the middle of trying to do something and dismissed it. Five minutes later I went off to ask someone why I didn't appear to be able to generate a shortlisting grid following the "how to generate a shortlisting grid" instructions. Got back to my desk just before the 17:45 alarm went off, dismissed it and carried on with what I was doing. When the 18:00 alarm went off I had very nearly finished, and that did at least persuade me to leave once I had, at 18:11, rather than spending another 20 minutes knocking off the most straightforward emails from my inbox...
