Bulldog Razers

They are great. The first time since I`m in Ireland I have a proper clean shave. I tried them all but that brand is actually good.

I have also got today a root beer. Never tried that before but I got it as a floater with ice-cream. Root beer is nice but I reckon I prefer to have some malt in my beer or my soda not that sweet. My son has taken the rest of the can. He is keen on it.

If you are into torture waxing is the way to go. It is quite known that removing the strips is extremely painful. However, that`s only one second of pain while you feel you could start to cry at any moment. What nobody tells you that putting that stuff on is already pulling on the hair. It is getting worse once the wax is getting colder.

The results are quite different. I mean I have still plenty of hair left but it looks much better than the results of the cream. See, we have also gotten cream. That can be the project for tomorrow.

I have received today my first letter with the other name. Very excited. It will take a while to get use to it but it feels good. Now, I have some document for proof of name for Facebook. That helps me to get stuff sorted out earlier. I`m tired now. I want to go to bed.

So, I`m in charge of the department. Wow, there is actually quite a lack of communication and challenges but challenges. A teammate went home without telling anyone. At least I didn`t know. That person was the last for covering one of the lines and it took some time to notice and to look for a replacement. Then, we have two new teammates. The names appeared in the scheduling tool. However, nobody told us who they are and that they were supposed to be in the department. Another teammate wanted to file a CT for a huge amount but nobody had admin permissions to do so. The item was actually not for our department at all but since we said that we would do it we made it happen. I wish there would be more cases like that. I like that kind of organisation work.

Tag Rugby was amazing!
Shite weather... Rain, wet, cold, windy but I missed the game. Twisted my ankle in the second half but still kept pushing. Love the positive attitude in the team and I hope that more will come along once the weather gets better.

So today something different the company thought by itself. I have a new team leader. I don`t have a different position. They have just moved all team leaders and teammates around.

Well, I was allowed to make a new seating plan. I have used the names on the communication email. I don`t know if all names are included. Some teammates have middle names and sometimes the system is using the one and sometimes the other. Well, that is some expression of diversity, I guess. We have also a Compliance manager sitting between us. Nobody told something about him nor was asked where he could sit best. Well, now we have him between a team.

Working is more boring without any task. The system didn`t deliver anything. Damn. That is nice for a short time but once you have done everything what else is there to do? I`m now POC for our team leader while she is in training which is something but also not too much.

Today was also an inclusion training. Somehow stressful if everything is about sharing identities and you just want to avoid identity. I`m not ready for full stage yet.

However, afterwards I had an intense body building session. That is quite exhausting. Well, not as much as the Crossfit stuff I did but I`m just starting out. I am now making sure that every muscle in my body isolated trained instead going for compound movements. Let`s see how much it will wreck me in months to come.

I love my red shoes. They and my women trousers are actually boosting my confidence. I ran today through town. People mind anyway their own business. Funny enough younger people are actually reacting more than older people. But also they lemme be.

However, I don`t do make up in public. Well, a comic con is coming up. That will be used as kind of safe tryout. If it looks too weird it is part of my costume. I don`t give me stress over this.

Aloa, dear diary, I knew it blue and blue denim colour is too much to much to deal with. Some colours please. Well, the other nice things were still drying - What could I do? However, never again, thank you very much. Communist leader look isn`t for me, I guess.

Oh, son wanted to see a movie. He was near to broken when cinema was overlooked we offered an alternative but he felt it has to be the Secret Life of Pets 2. We went two hours later to cinema again. Well, he was happy and it was a good family movie.

Nero was working on his cosplay costume and I had time enough to have stuff sorted. Now, tomorrow I have to do video editing. Still so much to do.

Team Night Out at work.
I work with pleasant people who are all great craic. Everybody has a bunch of great stories to tell. It`s sad that we really don`t share personal stuff so often at work. It makes coworkers people.
