No more worry of impending calls of IT doom in the daytime is a privilege.
If there is one huge privilege after leaving my IT business behind is that it's possible to do stuff in the day time without the worry of an impending call of IT doom.
Simple things...like going to the gym.
We usually go from 12:30 to 13:30.
It's lunch time. Not many people are there and all the machines are available.
It's very relaxing.
In between gym sessions I'm usually busy with blockchain related stuff.
Especially in the morning (today I got up at 6:00) and afternoon, often in the evening too.
Well..if I'm honest also in the gym...between sets I check things....
It drives Bianca nuts sometimes. Family too I have heard.
I tried to stop checking things...it didn't work...so I gave it up.
But today I only did a little work in the afternoon.....
Because there is another privilege that I recently discovered.
And that is......that....
No-one goes to the cinema at 16:00.
It's great.
By now you should probably know I love cinema. And I also love Star Wars (no spoilers).
We went to see the new Han Solo movie.
Almost no-one was there. You could hear a pin drop throughout the movie.
Again, this is a dream....especially because I know how bad it can get if you have the wrong people in the theatre.
A good movie, a silent cinema and no phone helps me relax a lot.
When we got home I went straight back to check on things because that's something I can't help.
The movie is a lot of fun btw...at-least I thought so.
I was very entertained.
But I just checked IMDB. It only gets a 6,5.
I never understand these ratings and I'm glad I never check them before seeing a film.
I guess I'm just easily pleased :)

Ahh, nothing better than an empty Movie theater, especially when you're with someone cool.
Hope you guys enjoyed ;)
It was great! thanks!
Man today I left work and switched my phone off because I had this gut feeling they would ring me, yup later I discovered 20 mins after I left the building they were calling me already so yea I can imagine how awesome not have those calls are @exyle and I know right while everybody is working you discover these places all to yourself I hate full cinemas too noisy!
That's a nice way of finding the right time to get to places you wanted to wind up, but not in HK, exyle! (nice name by the way) I don't know where you live, but in where I worked in publication, lunch time is where all of us go to ICC, and its all packed! We have to hurry or else no more space for me! Movies, my love! but I go anytime I like! no people the better, I like my legs up and enjoy my popcorn and rootbeer!
It seems you have booked the whole theater.
I heard this movie bombed but that's ridiculous.
I liked it.
My buddy saw it Friday night says it’s dope I’m gonna go see it
"Almost no-one was there. You could hear a pin drop throughout the movie."
That's great.
No popcorn eating people sitting next to you.
I am going to watch a movie on Friday morning, that should be awesome too.
Enjoy the film!
good @exyle you and Bianca have spent a beautiful day reminds me when I was young like you that I went to the cinema to see the first Star Wars (1977) and I was 14 years old ... with my father and not with my girlfriend;) I also love Star Wars
That must be a nice memory!
Well, now you have time to go do your thing without waiting for an IT call. That's what's wrong with this kind of job. Sometimes you don't have the time to spend it with your family or other things that make you happy too. But it's just a matter of having a schedule and sticking to it.
For example, I work from 9am to 1pm, lunch, from 4pm to 5pm I work out and then from 6pm onwards I go back to work until 10pm. From 10 to 11pm it's my time to play Zula online hahaha. That's my routine.
By the way, speaking of movies... I have not yet seen Infinity War :(. I'll go next Monday hahaha.
Greetings colleague @exyle!!
Cool, it's a great film man. I hope you managed to avoid all spoilers!
You spent a wonderful day, my friend and you are right, in the daytime in such visited places as sports and cinema people are very few and this is our privilege, because we are dealing with our business and we can allocate our time as we need, which can not be said about people who sit in offices. It's great and we can rejoice at your favorite things like cinema and chatting with your friends! Thank you Mark.
A crowded gym can be a pain in the ass. Oh good for you that you discovered another solitude holy grail :). I am a movie person too.
