It&rsquo;s been interesting to see how losing access to Sunsama has affected my productivity. It actually makes quite a difference, but I can&rsquo;t fathom paying $20 a month! 😅</p> <p>Anyway, bank holiday is approaching and I&rsquo;m packing my bags to go to Mexico for 2 weeks, in search of some long awaited rest and relaxation. It&rsquo;s been a while since my partner and I have been on a vacation without family.</p>https://matt-ellis.dev/rambles/a-spontaneous-symposium/Wed, 19 Apr 2023 20:37:06 +0100https://matt-ellis.dev/rambles/a-spontaneous-symposium/<p>Since joining my current workplace, I&rsquo;ve managed to see my esteemed colleagues twice in person. 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>
