What is it about thursdays that it's become "all the meetings" day?

I have 12 meetings in my calendar today.

The whole idea of the #StateOfTheUnion speech is outdated in my opinion. I realize that there's a requirement in the Constitution that the #POTUS let #Congress know how things are going, but that clause was written before the Internet. Instead of wasting everybody's time with this outdated shit show, how about a blog post or an email?

A four-slide power point presentation:

2 - 31 word, 4-point list
3 - 81 word, 4-point list
4 - end title card.

Leg 2 is Paris → Seoul Incheon.

The mint tea from Prêt a Manger at CDG was better than the one at EDI. I also found an adequate croissant.

Now to stave off boredom and/or attempt to sleep for the next 13 hrs…

Have you ever noticed that the one piece of electronics that makes the most sense to be sold in an airport — a 3.5mm to airline audio socket adapter — is never sold in airports?

It turned out to be a small biscuit and a cup of orange juice. Here's hoping that I can find some breakfast here in Paris while I hang around waiting for my connecting flight.

So, leg 1 of the climate-destroying journey to Seoul is under way. Edinburgh to Paris CdG, here we go!

Edinburgh Airport isn't a hopping recreational destination at 4 am on a Saturday. Also, it smelled remarkably strongly of wee.

Here's hoping that Air France serve a decent in-flight breakfast…

Thanks to Microsoft Viva I can see that in the past 20 working days I've only been in 65 meetings. Which is down from my 105 meetings in the month of January. So....winning, I guess? #couldhavebeenanemail

TFW someone in upper management at $JOB who should have better things to be doing gets the "bright" idea to start pushing out company-wide updates by mandatory desktop background updates. 🤦
