Working from home: Michelle Jablko

I'm not the best selfie taker (unlike CEO Shayne Elliott who is known for them!) but here you can see my desk as well as some new grey hairs sneaking through – they are trickier to hide since hairdressers closed in Melbourne’s lockdown. You might also be able to spot the well-loved 1989 Casio calculator on my desk which is being held together by Band-Aids.

Treasured family moments

I look at this collection of photos on my bookshelf every day. They include my daughter and son when they were babies, me and my husband, and my mum with me as a baby (my son in the next photo is the spitting image of me!). There’s also a photo booth shot from my daughter's Bat Mitzvah - I actually fell and broke my wrist a few minutes after this happy photo was taken!

Vintage gaming

On the shelf below my photos is my husband’s original PACMAN game which I think might be even older than my Casio calculator - around 1983. While he doesn’t play it anymore he has passed on his love of gaming to the next generation.

Modern gaming and digi school

Much like my husband, my son also has his own collection of gaming consoles including this PlayStation 4. Like many students in Victoria, he (and his sister) are currently undergoing remote learning (aka digi school!) so he’ll occasionally come in to play on the PS4 at the end of his school day.

Stress relief

This final item is infamous in the finance department at ANZ - my punching bag! It’s set up in our home gym and is a welcome relief after a day of working from home! The weights also provide a great work out.
