My Christmas shopping is finished and my cards are (mostly) posted. If you requested a fic to go along with your card, it'll probably be posted here before the new year.
Over the past three weeks I've really been trying hard at my diet and I've lost 9lbs. I'd really like to have lost a stone by Christmas and I'm on track for that. \o/ I bought some new jumpers for work today and managed to get a smaller size, which made me happy.
Work on the other hand is not so good. On Friday we received an email from management informing us that from the new year, we'll all have to work 9-5 with an hour for lunch, instead of the slightly more flexible way things are now. This causes a few problems for me. It's out of town and I don't drive so if I desperately need to go to the bank or post office, I can't make it. I walk home every night so I'll never be home before 6. I won't be able to go to gigs, or go home on Friday night anymore because it'll be too late by the time I get anywhere. Worse than all of that though is that fact that no one talked to us about it. The email was sent when all the management team when conveniently in a meeting. No one bothered to tell us face to face or ask how we felt or how it would impact our lives. As always, the only way to have "flexible" working is to have a child. I understand that people with children need that time, I do. But I don't like the assumption that not having a child means you don't have anything else to do. Everyone I've spoken to about it feels under-appreciated. I'm glad I've decided to leave.
Back to the good things. Community is awesome. How have I missed it for so long? Abed! Abed is my favourite. I love him so much. He makes me happy. Abed & Troy are adorable. I find Jeff/Annie a much better pairing than Jeff/Britta or Annie/Troy. I love this show so much after only 10 episodes. Is it Friday yet?
