Work-related: - Made some good progress on test planning for an unfamiliar project. - Made some preparations to restart mentoring of new starters through their tester training from next week. - Got my LinkedIn updated and I think it’s looking good. Next up is the CV and that’s this weekend’s task. Away from work: - Restarted some at-home fitness sessions after becoming a bit demotivated by it towards the end of last year. - I baked a cake - it tasted great, even if I do say so myself 😃 - Started watching The Boys on Amazon Prime. I recommend it! ---
