I&rsquo;ve been there almost 9 months now!</p> <p>It seems kind of weird and I think fully remote working has been somewhat isolating. I love the flexibility it provides, but I&rsquo;d also like to see my work colleagues more in the flesh.</p> <p>Those pixel faces aren&rsquo;t quite the same&hellip;</p> <p>Anyway, I managed to see them on a spontaneous chance, and it was great. We planned a lot of stuff and grabbed a beer after work 🍻.</p>https://matt-ellis.dev/rambles/a-proper-desk-to-work-at/Mon, 27 Feb 2023 10:17:53 +0000https://matt-ellis.dev/rambles/a-proper-desk-to-work-at/<p>So my supposed daily ramble has been more of a ramble when you can&hellip;</p> <p>Took some time off to go skiing. I came back in one piece which is surprising 🎉 Finally got my desk partially installed. It&rsquo;s a solid countertop from wall to wall, super heavy and needed 6 people to lift! At somepoint I&rsquo;ll stain it and setup my monitors.</p> <ul> <li>Catching back up today on previous dagster work. It&rsquo;s apparently crunch time.</li> <li>📚 Also had chance to read some more of <a href="https://amzn.to/3kweFq1">&ldquo;Designing data intensive applications&rdquo;</a> <ul> <li>Great book for understanding data engineering concepts. Helped me understand what my esteemed colleagues are talking about!</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
