Like every work day, I start my day waking up at 6.35 am. Why 6.35 am? Because it's 5 minutes more sleep than 6.30 am 🤣, the first thing I do is go for a hot shower to wake me up. I then make a cup of coffee and wait for my mate to come and pick me up as we work in the same office.
We then wait for the train at the local station and start our journey down to Sydney, about 80km away from home. It takes about 1h30 - 1h35 each way.
As we get to the office, I'll go for a round of coffee and breakfast. We take turns to go an buy coffee for the other colleagues in the same team. Today's was Leah's turn to pay for the coffee but I was on delivery duty.
9.15am, we have our daily stand up where all the team gather together and report about three things:
- What each of us did yesterday
- What each of us will do today
- Is there anything that blocks us from doing our work
Today is a little bit special because, from Thursday, the company will enter the World Cup broadcasting mode. I work for a TV broadcast company and the World Cup is a critical event for us, obviously. So today we did a big last check up on the start of the World Cup frenzy. I will be on night shifts working at really weird hours, like 3 am till 6.30 am or midnight till 2.30 am.
We are getting into the mood with a raffle. $5 per ticket and we get to randomly pick one, I got Russia! I hope Russia has bribed all the referees so that I can win hahaha 🤣
Here is a view from inside the office, it's decorated with many Aboriginals paintings:
The ambiance is great and people are nice and respectful to each other. We broadcast content in over 70 languages, so cultural mix is something we know about.
5 pm, it's time to go home. Same train thingy again, but it's winter now in Australia so the sky is getting dark as we leave the office and it's getting colder and colder.
My mate and I usually use our commute time on the train to either read or do some coding on personal projects. Today I was working on two bot projects, one is 
I'm now home and the missus is calling me for dinner, so goodbye!
