It’s Friday! And it’s the first of November as well! The guards at Helm’s Deep thinks it’s a right blast, so why don’t we kick Friday off with a chat thread. What’s happening with your day?
Both my colleagues are off, my manager won’t be in until 2pm, my associated staff are WFH, there’s just me and 300 folk needing support.
I’m going to find a deep, dark hole and pull the lid shut.
Beaky? Beaky?!? It’s fucking Beaker you Muppets.
Going away tomorrow for 10 nights…. Only, our car won’t start. It ticks over but won’t ignite. The battery is original to the car so 12 years so I’m hoping it’s that. But if it’s the alternator or starter motor then I’ll be lucky to get in a garage today… let alone get it to a garage somehow.
So looks like we’ll be hiring a car instead. On the bright side…. Woooooo 10 nights away!!!
Some absolute arse has scheduled a meeting for 8:30. A meeting I have to attend. On my day off.
Words will be had.
I had to put one of my cats down yesterday and my heart is utterly broken.
A day of dealing with holiday laundry, shopping, and waiting for rearranged deliveries from while we were away
Work until half 2 then a much needed catch up/piss up with my 2 best mates this evening.
Second cup of coffee down, thinking about getting up and at ’em. Suppose I’d better take down the Halloween decorations.
I’ve promised the kids McDonald’s for lunch.
Also, I’ve got some house todos that need to be done, so I might try and tick those off, but I do have some Lego to build.
Soooooo….. Decisions, decisions.
Oooo errr! As I was typing this, just seen a Christmas advert. So it begins!
WFH today as I had a panic attack in the office yesterday. Haven’t had one for over a year so it was a bit of a fright. Staying in this evening as I’m still feeling wiped out. Probably get a takeaway!
I’m off work today! Currently finishing a cranberry juice in a Premier Inn
Why am I here? Because I don’t live in the same city as my dentist office. My dentist office is in the same city my work is based in. I came down yesterday, did a day’s work at the office, and stayed overnight to have this appointment
My consolation is that I would have booked this day off anyway because it’s my birthday on Sunday, and my parents and I are going for a nice pub meal at lunchtime
WFH today. Probably going to paint the bathroom after work 😀
Could life just stop throwing major shit at me, please? It’s one thing after another.
I might have figured out the metallic taste in my mouth with going to the dentist and spending £20!
I’ve got a cold:/ and where the taste is in my mouth, I had a tooth extraction a few months ago, so it seems connected.
It is the first of November and I’m sat by an open window in shorts and t-shirt with the washing on, ready for the machine to finish so I can hang it out on the line. In November.
Morning all, hope you’re well.
Moved onto my new mortgage today, which is a massive relief as now it means I can sort out a few more finance things that have been hanging over me for a couple of months and will hopefully free up some money in the budget.
I’ve got a fair bit of admin work to get through before my manager comes back from leave on Monday so will mostly be cracking on with that. Also finally bit the bullet and bought a printer/scanner, mainly to make it easier to do paperwork for my new job (which I need to send off today if possible) but also for printing sewing patterns, so need to go pick that up from Argos at some point today along with a few dinner bits I couldn’t get in Sainsbury’s last night.
Once I’ve finished work it’ll be cleaning the flat, making chilli con carne with rice for dinner and then cracking on with the skirt I’m making.
Have a good day everyone!
Resigned from a role over the summer because a newly hired manager was a terrible mix of incompetence and pettiness.
Turns out multiple people have quit since I left and explicitly blamed it on that manager. Now the board are questioning why there is so much turnover in the department, and there’s a good chance the manager will be fired before the end of the year.
Having a book for uni delivered yay!
Scattering my fathers ashes sometime today.
Wife’s company got sold this week and they’re laying off 2/3 of the entire workforce, with the remaining 1/3 having to move to another location 90 minutes away. Not quite the worst case scenario, but damn close. This weekend is going to feature a lot of job applications for her.
