I was originally thinking about going full electric but bottled it.. I then ordered my car, it took an age to arrive due to the worldwide chip shortage. In that time I was kicking myself for not going full electric..

I'm kinda enjoying the electric mode but the range is circa 40miles which is not long enough..

Today I learned that I can take an entire work week of back to back calls before I start laughing crazily and making strange noises at the phone before I answer it so my freakout doesn't leak into my support.

TIL how good it feels to work the system in using PTO strategically. I requested 4 days off and ended up getting 8 simply because I request at the right time due to a DONSA and the connecting holidays.
