They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

I completely understand we all have to start somewhere. But putting someone with such a lack of experience, skill and understanding is inexcusable. The bias being shown is terrible

Looking forward to the next 90 minutes. Should be a good one

You go offline for 1 day and lots of things happen.

With so many things happening recently and all the announcements it is sometimes hard to keep up. I have not missed the coffee but I have missed the daily messages. Early or late there is still time for a coffee and make the day worthwhile

Finding balance to juggle all on your plate while still maintaining appearances is a something we should strive for. Focus and coffee can help. Grab that coffee and start your day well

In the professional world there are always announcements. Some are good, some are bad, some we go oh wow really. Pick the announcements you are interested in and enjoy that early morning coffee

Public Holidays are great as we get some downtime away from work. Except when they are in close proximity to each other and we have deadlines. Stay focused at the tasks at had, grab that coffee to get you through and continue being that awesome person you are at your job

As we move towards our winter and shorter days, those early starts get harder with the sun yet to rise. Grab that coffee to give the warm start you need.

Inspiration can come in all forms. Acknowledging and using to your advantage is what helps get things going. Grab a coffee and have a great day

Carving out time for yourself during busy times is hard. A short break can do wonders for your focus and productivity. Grab that coffee and try it. Have a great day

Being presented with limited information makes for difficult discussions. Knowing who to ask for a summary before said discussions makes things a little easier. Grab that coffee and get at it.

It always feels good when the week is half over already but you have only worked 1 day so far. Love Wednesdays. Grab that coffee and make it a great day

It is easy to get side tracked when things get busy. That was me last week with a hectic schedule. Getting focused again is important but sometimes hard to do. Dedication and focus brings the gains we are looking for. Get that coffee and get the day started.

Another reasons why DST is not really needed 🤣

Busy week. Missed yesterday. The days are getting shorter. Loads to keep up on. Focus on what’s important. Time for that coffee. Get it done and have a great day.

Change is the consistent normal. How we acknowledge that change and adapt allows us to continue. Grab that coffee and have a great day

Sometimes it’s just time for coffee. Then we can think about what is to come for the day and look at meeting it head on. Have a great day

Sometimes when there is a lot of things happening around you it can be distracting. Finding that balance of keeping track but not getting caught up in it all can allow you to succeed. Grab that coffee and have a great day.

Early starts can be difficult. But the positive outcomes far outweigh the early starts. Push through, get that coffee and have a great day

Numbers play a part in nearly everything we do. My number for today is 10. Find yours and make it count. Time for that coffee and have a great day.

Putting into practice something you were shown by a friend, colleague or family member to improve something you do on a regular basis can have profound effects. Thank you for my new practice. Grab that coffee, find yours and have a great day

So much to do in so little time.prioritizing my tasks is going to get me over the line. Time to get that coffee and knuckle down. Have a great day

Reflection on what we have achieved is a great motivator on what we still need to achieve. Grab that coffee and get at it. Have a great day.
