You get to meet all sorts of people from directors, to executives, to contractors and every case is different. We talk with the Insured and understand what went wrong in order to provide them the best possible outcome.

6:10 AM

Alarm rings, wake up and get ready for work, brushing my teeth, clean and moisturize.

6:30 AM

Breakfast time, and it’s oats with a side of fruits and some vitamins. Also grabbing the prepared lunch to take off.

6:45 AM

Leave the house for that morning walk to the bus stop

7:06 AM

If I don’t miss the buss then I am at the metro, to reach Chatswood and then North Sydney. On the way I listen to my Spotify bangers and read some literature on my phone. A snooze if all else fails.

7:25 AM

What a perfect travel with no delays. Now at North Sydney, I walk to the office.

7:35 AM

Arrive at the office and I am most likely the first to be in, flicking on all the lights and boot up my setup. I check my emails for any items I may have missed the day before and take not of any urgent requirements before seeing what I have planned for the day. Sometimes there is a site visit planned, so I plan out my route to ensure I get there on time. Otherwise, I catch up on desktop work as colleagues slowly start coming in and we sometimes go for a morning coffee. I am slowly transitioning to the coffee life with a Mocha. This is of course all while listening to music, the groove never stops.

12:00 PM

If I am not already out on a site visit, its lunch time, so I whip out my prepared lunch and eat. Sometimes I stretch my legs out and go with colleagues to eat out, and we order take away. On a special occasion where I am sent interstate, or travel very far, lunch and dinner is a treat.

If there is a site visit, it’s a day trip to investigate and evaluate. You get to meet all sorts of people from directors, to executives, to contractors and every case is different. We talk with the Insured and understand what went wrong in order to provide them the best possible outcome.

4:00 PM

I clock out at this time, however work start and end times are very flexible here. Start early, leave early etc. Sometimes there is a meeting event with clients and I pray it’s Friday so I can stay longer, otherwise I still go and attend, but leave earlier.

4:50 PM

If there are no events, I arrive home at this time before peak hour hits so that’s a smart move. If my parents are home late, I prepare dinner and prepare to work out.

5:45 PM

Work out finishes and it’s shower time.

6:00 PM

If parents aren’t yet home, I cook dinner for them to eat when they do arrive, otherwise they are already back and are cooking.

7:15 PM

Dinner is over and I clean the dishes and prepare for tomorrow.

7:35 PM

Go to my room to wind down and talk with friends

9:30 PM

I typically sleep at this time, but if I am more tired, I’ll sleep earlier.
