So for my birthday I went to an auction, got filled with good wine, and won one lot of rather decent wine.

Surprisingly the DRC they poured in the beginning ended up as one of the worst wines of the entire day! The Romanée-Saint-Vivant 1990 and 2007 may be expensive but they’re certainly not worth it.

Even stranger was that they auctioned a case of 1978 RSV afterwards — and someone took it.

Funniest of all was seeing a 1996 Macallan 18 go for HKD 67000. They poured some of that too and it was good, but not that good.

Hm.

Ha. Unfortunate that he also has more executive responsibilities as well…for now.

How'd you guess!

Cultivating respect within the team rocks. Problem is that I have one colleague who just assumes everyone comes in every day purely to check off things on his todo list…

Have a colleague who apparently (before my time) used to randomly forward his entire inbox to someone without warning and expect them to deal with it.

Funny thing is, everyone in the office sort of just put up with it.

Well quite. I have reports built that answer all of these questions already. One more and I'm just going to ask him to refer to the report.

In many ways it doesn't make sense that he's technically my superior. I have never met anyone so paralysed by terror and lethargy when faced with any amount of data.

Happy Monday, working from home. Still dealing with imbeciles treating me like a monkey whose sole purpose is to run database queries — because a search box is too hard for them to use — but at least it's only over chat now.

Just a window.

No body.

Or perhaps it landed in Oz.

Window from one of the apartments on the 28th floor just fell onto our balcony.

Somebody's going to pay if there's any cracked tiles.
