Oh man the frustration with dealing with insurance following up on a claim and the bank’s fraud department. Both seem to have endless call centre queues…
Got a tree that fell on our wall and now we’re needing it cleared and the electric fence repaired. The fence contractor is ready to go but I’m still waiting on the assessor for the tree.
Then I’ve got the joys of trying to get feedback from FNB on the fraud I reported on my account. The fun part is that the fraudsters were able to do what I as a client could never do, spend more than what’s in my account (no overdraft facility). I’d have to verify the payment on the app and would have got the transaction denied due to insufficient funds. But not if you’re stealing the money apparently, so much for security 
And to top it off, I’ve been exclusively using virtual cards for online payments since they implemented it, but the fraud was done on my physical card. So fun times getting that replaced.
/sorry for the rant

And then spoke with our CEO on Friday. And he said plans for Cpt are in full swing he’d like to start running by April at least but definitely before June so we will see hopefully the sooner the better but that means that I definitely have work that side now we play the waiting game

What a weird day it’s been, coffee shop hopping while I work remotely. Do people still do this a lot?

Technically I work remotely 
We work in a shared workspace. So its almost the same, we run to various meeting rooms and quiet rooms to do work
If someone spaces out at their desk, are they working remotely?

So, I got myself an extra controller. Got a good deal on a DualSense (PS5) controller on Takealot and decided to buy it. Plus, I had some Takealot credit left over from birthday vouchers as well.
First time I’ve ever couch co-oped with my son. Both of us had an incredibly fun time in the Lego games. Had to stop after 3 hours of non-stop gaming, as we both got hungry!
