L had a bad night’s sleep in the loft so ended up in her bedroom. She had a diversity call at 9am and then worked through her emails in the morning and figured out her plan for the week. It was already feeling a bit overwhelming to be back in the office. A came downContinue reading “Day 153: Barrafina”

L woke up early to head back to Mill Hill and tried to multi task and ended up breaking a glass, which A cleaned up for her at 7am and she felt so so bad, but also so grateful. She met the family and headed to Bristol where they had breakfast at the Lido andContinue reading “Day 149-152: Leil to Wales, A sees people from everywhere”

Alex spent a large portion of the day setting up all his new devices (new Dell laptop, McKinsey laptop and McKinsey phone). The living room looked like hot tech mess and L threatened not to speak to A again if the end result was 3 laptops (2 macbooks and a pc), 3 phones and aContinue reading “Day 148: Alex and his devices”

Wednesday It was a super sweaty night and L didn’t get much sleep, unlike A who passed out per usual despite the 35 degree inferno. They worked downstairs in the morning, and L went out to granger and co for a coffee at 10.30. L sat down at the bar and it felt like oldContinue reading “Day 147: Dishoom Dinner”

Another 35 degree day in London. L woke up and dreaded the thought of working in the hot kitchen. She waited for A to wake up before suggesting they head to Caravan to work in the back bit he likes, where there is AC. A had just found out that he had won the ADBContinue reading “Day 146: ADB, Poke & Heat”

Leila: She started working at normal time, and A joined her for a little. He was packed and ready to go. She forced him to eat, and said bye around 11 as he left for the Lake District, saying a quick hello to Sam and Ali. She then worked non stop through the day, andContinue reading “Day 141-145: 4 whole days apart”

Leila woke up having slept a lot better, but had still woken up loads in the night. Alex lay in a little bit but not for long as he had to get started on some work for the WB. L set off to Granger & Co because it was sunny. She (supposedly) found a spotContinue reading “Day 140: Vegetable (Mostly Mushroom) Feast with Iman”

L had worked through the night and slept only a tiny bit. She woke up and got straight to the desk to focus on her Diversity presentation to the entire Risk & Resources org. Work was super busy and she had less time to focus on it than she would’ve liked, but it went well.Continue reading “Day 139: Daal solves everything”

A had a deadline of 1pm to submit his dData presentation, so he had set an alarm of 7am the night before (much to L’s chagrin). He managed to wake up at exactly 6.55, turned off his alarms and headed downstairs. By the time the sleepyhead Leila wandered lethargically downstairs, at 8.30 (several hours earlierContinue reading “Day 138: 4am presentation and no sleep!”

L needed to head to David’s house in the morning, and the cleaner was scheduled for 9am. It was a mad house, and L had a long shower which was unusual for her. A logged onto D&D at 9 and L ran around like crazy sorting the house and packing, and stressed about not havingContinue reading “Day 136/137: The worst of days (Chelsea lose the FA cup) L had quite a good weekend on the farm”
