It's not a matter of getting away with anything. I punch in when I start working and punch out when I take the break. After the ride I'll punch back in again. We work a 35 hour week with flexi time, so all that matters is we work for 35 hours for the week. While riding I'll be showing as offline so they know I won't be working.g-boaf wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 10:42 amI got about 2 hours riding done this morning (I'm on leave). It threatened to rain but only a couple of drops.
I wouldn't get away with that, we have people who spend time watching the online status of everyone all day and are quick to jump on those who aren't "active".Retrobyte wrote: I'm WFH today so might try for a long ride around lunch time

Count yourself lucky, it definitely wouldn't be allowed where I am, even though there is talk of "flexible". And it would be used by the return-to-office people to champion the return to office so they can spend all day watching over everyone. Already some folks are mandated to by full time back in the office, the rest is at least 3 days permanently in the office, and probably going back to full time in the end.Retrobyte wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 12:30 pmIt's not a matter of getting away with anything.

Not so much luck - it was a conscious choice after more than 40 years of busting my 🫏 in the corporate world. For work/life balance reasons at my age a 35 hour public sector job is a very pleasant change given the nice working conditions and benefits, and the location means I can easily ride to work as well. We are allowed to WFH two days per week. Long service leave after 5 years is also something to look forward to. Even though the remuneration is a little bit less than the private sector, money's not everything. I certainly don't miss working seven days a week and answering the phone in the middle of the night!g-boaf wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 12:47 pm

And it poured down after midnight - the rain was extremely heavy. Indoor ride only today unfortunately. It's better than sitting around feeling bad and getting unfit.

Must have been something on at the airport. Heap of plane spotters on the bridge over Alexandria Canal as I was heading out, and none coming back,.

I will hopefully do so tomorrow but will be very careful given all the mess after that huge storm will still be everywhere.

Two streets up a householder was chainsawing downed branches and the NBN cable running along the street was hanging down within a meter of the ground. So they cannot access their driveway.
Looking at map appears to be over 50 pockets of power outages Ausgrid is responsible for. Nearly 300 households without power within 500m of our home.

A lot of debris around and one or two downed trees.
