So, how’s it going?

    Seems like my body clock has aligned itself to normal hours now - I’ve actually started sleeping before midnight. Next target is to see if I can bring the sleep time closer to 11PM. Hopefully I can maintain this schedule leading up to the first day at my new job.

    Oh, and I need to get a haircut at some stage. My hair was a mess on the first day at my previous job - was planning to go to the salon in the morning so that my hair would be at its best on day one, unfortunately I couldn’t find a single salon in my area open at that time. And just my luck, they took a photo of me for my ID card, and my streak of bad ID photos continued.

      Oh man, I hate to tell you that daylight savings starts this weekend… You might need to starting aiming for 10PM :(

        Ah, bugger. Well, that’s fine I guess, I still have a bit over a week to get adjusted. Thanks for the reminder though!

      Oh how I dislike haircuts. I seem to need one every month to stop myself looking untidy. But I only get one every 3 months or so because it’s annoying to do it.

        I’m also haircut averse.

        I put it off until it starts looking untidy, then continue putting it off until my wife starts hinting that I ought to get a haircut, then continue putting it off until I think maybe I’ll just start having long hair.

        Then one day I wake up, and decide maybe I should get a cut. So I suffer the burden of having to actively decide what my hair should look like. And generally I’m pretty happy with the results. And I think, I should do this more often. And then the cycle repeats.

          This sounds like me! And it’s not a big time commitment, I just don’t like having to do it.

        I also don’t like getting them, but I’m also getting thinner on top and it looks worse if I let it grow out. Bad times.

      That’s great that you’re making progress on the sleep cycle.

      Terrible ID photos seem to be mandatory. Back when I was working, I once had a new job ID photo taken when I had a bright red sunburnt face … I was so vain I went and asked the photographer to fix it in photoshop.
