2026-03-26 (Thursday WFH)

4 AM
I wake at this time pretty much every night (ever since i dated a baker: i'd get up to have bfast with her)

DAILY NEWS
Petrol prices are up. Trump's bombed Iran. They retaliated by bombing their neighbours. Both USA and Israel attacked together

Background is: Iran wants nukes & as soon as they get the bomb, Iran's leaders have vowed to nuke Israel. They currently enrich uranium "for nuclear power" — nobody really knows how close they are to building a nuclear bomb. Years ... ?

Ukraine is still trying to fend off Putin's Russian invasion. They gave been at war for several years

Apparently the war in the Middle East means that Russian oil is fetching a higher price. The world works has a shortage. The news is saying March 2026 is the worst oil crisis ever — nobody knows how many months or years it will last 

Their are rumours that the State government will restrict car usage, which may mean more working from home. From now, i'm expected in the office 3 times a week (i've been wfh Tues and Thurs)

8 - 9 AM
Breakfast w/ N at Figure 9 café (which we call Signal 9 liked the tobacconist retail chain). I had the tuna melt toasted sandwich. And Panadol. N had the avo smash

Showered after my daily 9:15am project stand-up 

Had a meeting at 11am, then put my head down — working

12:30 PM
Lunch break & a workout. I listened to the end of PEP EXTRA podcast ("Correspondence Central" stand-alone episode). And the the start of a tech podcast — a live panel on the future of Section 230 (incl. A.I.)

Ordered a new toilet brush off ebay. I didn't use a voucher this time. It was only 10$. I think i've ordered the exact same as the one that i broke this morning — it looks v similar

6 PM
Logged off the laptop

Panadol. Cereal. An instant coffee (a rare 2nd coffee). My headache potentially from not eating lunch 

I need to fast from midnight until my 9:45am abdominal ultrasound in ringwood. No water 

7 PM
The new emojis dropped (fight cloud, etc) 

It's drizzling. My rain guage will tell me how many cm — i emptied it this afternoon, coincidentally

Sulpher-crested chimkens (Rowville - Mitcham) On my morning walk i saw A's old neighbour, S. We had a quick conversation by shouting accross the road - him in his car at the traffic lights & me waiting to cross the road I was up early and straight into the shower, rather than checking my phone too throughly. I feel that my morning scrolling is best done over a coffee – however tempting it is as a daily-first-thing to pick up the phone to check "all of the things" (news, chat notifications, email, wordle) It must have been too chilly for the chickens up on boronia rd. They were not out pecking in the yard which seemed unusual. Presumably the were huddled up in the coop – i couldn't really see in N and i went to Project Brewing in roweville for the first time. The beers were very good. I had a burger and we are quite sure they delivered a different burger than what i ordered - regardless it was tasty (even perhaps better ingredients than what i had chosen) Back to f...

Foragers A few laid-back beers turned into a fairly big session of Jagermeister, huge barrel-aged stouts, and IPAs I've parked nearby, so i'll stay over at N's apartment tonight & leave early when she needs to go to work Overall i feel grateful & relaxed. I've heard some things that make me think that this fling might be a thing - unsure how i feel about that but for sure it's feeling overwhelmingly like positive vibes 12:21am

Catfish (Mitcham - Vermont - Brunswick) Got home at 9:30am. Shower. Meditate. Back out 1-3pm Range Brewing tap takeover at co-conspirators, brunswick. Surprised by "The Don" And then Catfish in gertrude st. Garage Project takeover. Two highlights were the barrel sours Foragers for a final "full stop" beer ... or two. Boriggy Hazy IPA. N closed the door as we left the bar —habitually— as if they had called last-drinks, which next day we figured was too early by about 5 hrs. Hilarious In bed by 8:30pm or so
