Finally found a chair that is good for my back and my design eye 💛

You know when you think you’re a super organised person and you realise you put a full day, virtual conference in your diary for the wrong day and missed the whole thing 🤦🏼‍♀️

Really annoyed with myself, especially because I missed two sessions I specifically bought the ticket to attend!

I would actually class this as a hobby on my CV.

Nice. I’ll check them out, thank you.

Yeah this is the outfit I’d been looking at.

Back on the office chair chat. Has anyone bought a refurbished office chair? Is that a good idea? Any reputable outfits anyone would recommend?

I’m here for the nonsense that’s for sure 🙂

Aww… I miss the randomness of stuff we used to talk about on Twitter. I haven’t been hanging out here much but in the last 10 mins I’ve talked to people about bookshelf walls, 9p buttons and ice creams on walks. Zero design or digital transformation. Winning. 💛

One day my friend… one day.

9p! What a delight. Can you get anything for 9p anymore?!

Did the same with a walk today. But was very happy to realise there was still sun at 4:45z celebrated by eating an ice cream on my walk. Premature… maybe.

Ha. I think I could count book organisation as a hobby tbh. Fiction vs non fiction vs travel vs work vs read/not read. Oh the complexity when the shelves are all over the house and all I want is the dream bookshelf wall. Sigh.

Well this is nice isn’t it ☀️🌼

A clear focus on political gain vs what people (staff and patients) actually need… which surely is a choice of channel to book through and effective prioritisation based on urgency. I actually think the triage my surgery now operates works pretty well. Submit digitally and get a call back.

Which one do you have?
February 28, 2025 at 8:08 AM
Is there such a thing as an aesthetically pleasing office chair that also offers lower back support?!

This is lovely. I’m also terrible at learning new things. And my Mum is also an epic crafter.
February 8, 2025 at 9:59 AM
Yeah it’s sad. Maybe I’ll do it. Haha.

A lie?! 🤣

Wow. In half a day I have read about 1 design agency closing and 2 being acquired. Little worried it’ll just be the big dogs left soon 😢 Is it time for that flower shop I’ve day dreamed about?!

Got 3 walk n talks with entry level UCD folk this afternoon so I’m actually going to walk and talk for once - not sit and eat a Kit Kat and talk.
