Football Injury

Last Tuesday evening I went down to Regents Park with a few of my colleagues for a footie. We try to do that every week. I had to skip the last 2 weeks because I was too busy with work but not this week. 10 minutes into the game I felt a sudden pain in my left calf, as if I was hit by something. That unfortunately marked the end of the game for me. The trip back home was quite difficult as I couldn't walk much. I hoped I'll feel better next morning but of course, it wasn't the case. So I went to get it checked and it turned out I pulled a muscle and slightly torn it. So now I have to work at home the rest of the week and take it easy for a couple of weeks. On the bright side, I get to work lying down all day long on my sofa. It's actually good to be away from the office once in a while.

Managing Humans

I'm currently reading a book written by a software engineer turned manager about his experience as a manager. It is an interesting read. I am just starting but the style of writing is enjoyable: humurous and witty. Besides, I can definitely relate to what he writes, having worked as a software engineer for a few years now. Check out the slide show introducing the book, it's quite funny.
