23 July 2021 I had a bizarre meeting at work today. It felt like an intervention for a senior specialist who couldn't work out how to work through a problem. He kept asking for information just for everyone to say they provided it. A programme manager kept asking if he would produce a specific output for a date. It makes you wonder how some people end up in a senior role. He is about 4 levels above me and he must know something to get there. It feels like we are trying to get a technical and disorganised mind to be organised and focus on planning. It was so bizarre that I got several phonecalls immediately after where people were asking what went on. I start 3 weeks off work now. Some is enforced unpaid time off but it means there will be fewer e-mails. I am heading to my parents for a week or so which means dog time! Up to 4 if my brother visits my parents too. Always good. The weather should calm down and return to sensible low 20s Celcius too. I still became a sweaty mess earlier. Bring on the cooler weather! Time to see what traffic is doing before I drive home.
