Curtis’ Day
Curtis got to work with 5 minutes to spare and was non stop from that point on.
He had a new starter to setup as well as 2 people to offboard.
At 11:00, Curtis helped someone move desks and convert it to a standing desk. Once this was done, Curtis got bought a coffee by the lady, which was lovely!
After the coffee, Curtis had some more of the onboarding to complete and then it was lunch time.
Kim met Curtis down at a Vietnamese place near Curtis’ work as they do a great Banh Mi. We got those but because it was far from Kim’s work, she had to walk back as soon as she got it.
Curtis went back to work after lunch and continued to be busy. He had to order a lot of items as well as some software.
At 14:30 he updated the AV system in 2 rooms and checked on them periodically.
There were a lot of small issues today so Curtis spent quite a bit of time sorting those, too.
Curtis’ day finished at 17:00 and he walked to meet Kim.
Kim’s Day
As Kim was walking to work she checked to see if her phone was in her bag and found that it wasn’t! This was not the best start to the day.
When the fruit arrived Kim put it all away, she ordered a lot of different items from normal so it will be a nice change.
Someone mentioned that they couldnt find any brown sugar so Kim then spent some time sorting out the sugar! Not exciting but everything is much easier to find now! Plus its easier to know what the stock levels are.
Kim then took some time to set up next weeks order and contact a few other vendors about some possible additional items they would like to stock!
It was a colleague’s birthday on Thursday, but she was away on leave so in the late morning Kim and another colleague ran to a bakery to pick up a beautiful red velvet cake and a card! As they got in the elevators who catches the door at the last second? The birthday girl! Sods law!
When they got back upstairs the girls prepared the cake and plates to ‘surprise’ the birthday girl! They got a few people together sang happy birthday and then ate cake!
Kim sorted a few things out before heading to near Curtis’ work to meet him for lunch. Not so easy to do without a phone as they had not really discussed a time or place all that well. They eventually found each other and sat for a little while.
When Kim got back she spent most of her afternoon sorting our various different social things. She set up the agenda for the social team meeting later this week, went over a few things for the upcoming summer party and sent out an invite to a meeting next week. She also ordered some catering for next weeks meeting!
At the end of the day Kim spent some time going through her phones messages. It was not interesting and mainly consisted of the dead space before someone hangs up. There was one call where the phone was just recording background noise of people singing in an office, Kim stopped listening somewhere around the 2 minute mark.
Costco Run
We met up from work and walked down to Costco, primarily to get meat but also a few other things like cheese and a cereal.
We spent some money there and then walked back, boxes & bags in hand, with all the items we bought.
Too Much Food
For dinner, we has a big chicken salad with a side of Kraft mac and cheese. It turns out, this was way too much food!
We were very stuffed, so we just sat and watched Vikings in the evening.
