What have I been doing?


Posted by Hello

30th June?

What? Already?

How on earth did that happen?

And what have I done this year so far? Lets have a 6 month review shall we? What have I learnt?

There's been an election.
Making lasagne without an oven is complicated.
God Rocks.

That's not a lot for 6 months.

I must have done something else? surely? I've been ever so busy.. Maybe I need to learn how to take time to mentally process all the stuff I do.

Naaaah.

That sounds way to sensible.

In the meantime I shall contiue to dash form place to place armed with only a first aid kit and a Bible. And possibly some chocolate. And a phone. And cash for petrol. And...

Random question..

Does weightwatchers food have eyes to watch you with?

In space no-one can hear you scream. In the office, no-one wants the screens.

Or do they? Therein lies the issue.

10 years ago the office was refurbished, and redesigned. The architect still works for the company. I got into work today to one email from said architect to the entire office

At the staff meeting on Friday there was a proposal to remove the screening round everyone's workspace. I, and I understand many others would not wish to see this happen as I consider this would detract from the working environment and distract me from working.

Swiftly followed by another, although this time not to the entire office, from another colleague..

If you are in favour of removing / reducing screens, please forward your opinion to Erica.
If you'd rather have a tiny, stuffy, ill-lit cubicle to work in without seeing any other members of staff all day, and only finding out if it's raining by looking it up on the internet, please forward that opinion to her as well.

I’m very amused. This looks to be the start of an interesting battle of wills. The no screens lobby does however have the best sense of humour. The concept of the removal of screens distracting me from working doesn't really seem to be that big an issue compared to the fact that they let me have internet on my PC...
