It never lasts long
Spring came, prodded the daffodils, and then retreated behind winter's skirts again. It's flirting with a return, and I am pretty sure we won't have more frosts, but the weather is still quite unpredictable.
My success in getting my staff member a pay rise and promotion never bore any actual fruit: Head of HR agreed, wrote it down, and then....nothing happened. I email the head of HR every two weeks to remind him, but it's been radio silence. I know he's a busy bloke, but still, it's hideously unfair and I hate that my hands are tied.
Work overall sucks. I'm just gritting my teeth and sticking it out till retirement, solely for $ purposes. I'm sure there are some good things about my job other than the salary, but I can't think of any offhand.
I have this week off work, just to get away from the dreaded day job for a few days, during which time I'm doing a lot of garden digging, harvesting, planting, uprooting, and general tidy-up. I found a purple cauliflower hiding at the back, nearly big enough to be picked: my high point of the month. Sad, but true.
