7.30 AM
Wake up and get ready for work.
8.00 AM
Get the train to Central Station.
8.30 AM
Arrive at work. The first thing I do is go through my emails, pin anything important, and write down any tasks for projects that I may have received while away. Since I currently only work two days, my arrival on the first day has a lot of emails to get through. If I get through those quickly, I will make a start on my tasks for the day.
9.45 AM
The people in the office love coffee and often go to a nearby cafe together. I often get a vegemite pastry when we go.
10.00 AM
Group meeting to discuss any key updates or things to be aware of. It is also a time to learn something interesting, with another team member presenting something they’ve been working on. The responsibility of running the meeting cycles around weekly is a good way for me to practice my communication skills.
10.45 AM
I get back into my work. I usually have a few projects I am working on and a list of tasks allocated to these projects. If I am low on things to do I can talk to my supervisor about what I can work on, or I can ask other colleagues in the office.
1.00 PM
Lunchtime in the communal kitchen/dining area.
2.00 PM
Back to working on tasks.
3.00 PM
Sometimes we will take a break to do “5-minutes-of-movement” where some of us will choose to get out of our seats and move around and/or stretch.
5.00 PM
Home time. This depends on how much work I have to get done, or how much time I have spent working in the day. A typical workday requires 7.5 hours of work which is all logged throughout the day.
5.30 PM
I might spend this time playing tennis with other Alluvium employees after work. Alternatively, I might go to trivia night or go out for dinner. Or usually, I’ll just get the light rail back home.
8.00 PM
A mix of relaxation and university work.
12.00 AM
Off to bed. Sleeping may come afterward.
