It started shortly after my last post, Not in lockdown . Delta variant attempting to run havoc through the antipodes, detected in Brisbane.
Apart from the initial lockdown last year, Queensland has been largely spared from long lockdowns. Victoria and now New South Wales are shouldering the burden.
What a frustrating working from home week!
Monday
The cloud based telephony software was upgraded. The adjusted functionality resulted in me missing a huge number of calls during my 2.75 hours of loop time.
The GP called us in early for the second Pfizer vaccination. I took an hour off work.
Tuesday
After working for about two hours, flu symptoms started. No more work for me today. By the evening a fever was making me feel decidedly uncomfortable.
Wednesday
Feeling 80% of my usual self, I spent the day catching up on unfinished work until the database went down around 3:30 pm.
Thursday
A reasonably productive day.
Friday
A fault in the Woolloongabba national broadband node resulted in an Internet outage of about one hour before lunch time. This resulted in no phone, email, Teams or database access.
We will find out on Sunday if the lockdown is being extended.

Can’t believe this is starting over.
Sounds like a very frustrating week for you. Hope it’s going better.
Thank you, Eileen. The week has already improved with the arrival of the weekend 🙂
May your lockdown be short x
Thank you. May yours hurry up and end x
Although the Covid virus sounds deadly, it primarily afflicts the older and the weak. I don’t know why the strong vast middle section of the population is concerned about it. We’ve already seen a great recovery rate for the middle. Again, this is ridiculous. Sweden doesn’t give a F. why should I?

Thank you for your opinion.
We are now fully open and the Americans (fully vaccinated) will be allowed in on Monday. So we are keeping fingers crossed that we will not be consigned to living in the Island as it was for 17 months. People are really not all that careful.
Wishing you well 😊
I too wish you well. May the lockdown be productive
Thank you 😊
