Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Keep forgetting to blog, I get sidetracked so easily.

Friday - sucked beyond words. Had a bit of an upset at work, not helped by the fact I was stuffed full of cold and in the first day of my period. Not a happy combo. Also discovered that apparently my work colleagues don't like me throwing my snotty tissues in the bin - not hygienic or something. No, don't ask, I don't understand it either and I don't care. I heard it in a round about way and I am sufficiently ticked off that it's just made me job search harder. So in a way, they're doing me a favour.

Talking of job searches, I put up my CV on monster.co.uk a while back. Finally getting some hits now, lots of phone calls over the past few days from agencies with either specific posts in mind or interested in having me as a client. I'm all for that. Got an appointment with one agency on Friday, may have one with another agency one lunchtime next week.

Saturday I felt well enough (just) to miss the rugby (waaah!) to go and meet Rik and Carol in London and scoff amazing Italian food. It was a fairly short visit - they were knackered after a week in London while Carol had been organising a conference and were due to head home that afternoon. And I wasn't 100 per cent and wanted to head back to my duvet. But it was good to see them and we had a pleasant couple of hours catching up :)

Sunday was spent seriously loafing.

Yesterday was back to the grind, but with the postal strike, my job's got a lot easier. Of course, it'll go to hell in a handbasket tomorrow but never mind, I'm mostly caught up now anyway. Re: the re-organisation, there was another meeting on Monday, this time just SFU and a couple of the managers involved in the re-shuffle. Questions were answered, mostly, and I think they all feel a bit happier now, having a better idea of the rationale behind the changes (even if they don't agree) and also how they can influence the final decision.

Me? I don't care. My goal is to be out of there by Christmas if not sooner. Oh yes. Unless - well, there COULD be another post created to work on the Nursery Education Grant. *twitches* Dammit, I'd like to do that. Hmf. We'll see.

On a happier note - AHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Yankees lost the ADLS to the Cleveland Indians. I'm happy :D It's not so bad when your team suffers if your hated rivals suffer too :D
