"Go walking, it is fun and good for your body and mind."
WORK VS PRIVATE
Describe your average work day:
A lot of my time at work I spent on meetings. Project meetings, HR meetings, 1-1’s with managers. Good thing I like people. Between the meetings, I answer my emails and chats and do administrative tasks.
Describe your average day off:
Still liking people, so on my day off I try to meet with friends. Before Covid-19 preferable in a restaurant or bar, now during Covid-19 mostly at home, still eating and drinking but adding playing games to this. To keep in shape I like to sport or walk on the weekend.
