I am very stressed right now due to work. My project would be fine if my CEO hadn't resigned and several other Directors have announced they are leaving and we're doing a giant redesign of Children's and Adult's Services along with various other parts of the Council. This means I can't devote all my time to building the intranet. And people keep changing their minds anyway, so I'm being cranky.
Plus, there has been a distinct lack of Tube etiquette recently. Yesterday as I got off the Tube at Sloane Square I had to literally leap over a stroller that was being pushed into the carriage by a woman with three other children, shoving her way in before anyone had even got off. I may have said 'Or you could let people off before getting on like the nice announcement says' as I left. Then today, a woman standing next to me barged her way onto the Tube despite people moving to leave. I said 'Excuse me, there are people coming out' because I thought she may not have seen them. Oh no, she just wanted to get on the Tube, causing more people to move about and this woman to squeeze past. So then I'd had it. 'Or you could just barge right on in and not wait for anyone to leave the Tube', I may have remarked very loudly. She glared. Other commuters smiled. I felt justified.
On the plus side, I have a lot of fun things planned, such as Cabaret at an open air cinema tomorrow night, dinner on Saturday with my beloved and a trip to Romney Marsh on Sunday, then dinner with friends the next Saturday and drinks and open air proms and Sunday lunches. So all is well in the private life front.
TV meme updates later this evening!
