Stand-up meetings, where everyone is in fact sitting down and it goes for almost an hour, a very crappy way to start the week.

Also this annoying brown-noser type person at my work took it upon themselves to run the meeting and they called me out on screen and asked me how my weekend was. I said it was fine and asked how theirs was, their response to my lack of information was "wow it's like talking to a teenager". Fuck off. If I don't want to regail all of the staff about what I did on the weekend like you do, then that's my decision to make.

Been applying for a few jobs recently and actually getting calls (interviews lined up for next week). One in particular is fairly senior and not related to what I've done (can argue that my experience is transferable) and the manager I spoke to is very keen to interview me.

Might have to do some sleuthing to find out more about the team and culture in the place.
