Half Way Through Hell Week
Is it me, or does the British verison of the Apprentice totally pale in comparison to the American show?
Three days down, and two to go in what looks like the start of another D/D hell at work. We're still fighting to find the odd form from last week's 1,000 rejects, while (somehow) slogging away at the new work.
After the end of next week, the "permanent" team for those buggers shrinks from 3 to 1, and even though that isn't me, I am really worried about what's going to happen afterwards. Every day this week, I've been putting in overtime just to get the backlog down - and next week, I've already volunteered to work til after 6 on Monday AND put in a few hours on my day off.
I must be mad. Or perhaps there's another reason.
Still, at least working in a team (after the complete cluster that was the characterised in first four and a half months of this year), I'm now a damn sight more open around people. So at least something good has come of that. I'm out of my shell... and so it will remain!
Looking forward to going out after work on Friday night, even if it is only for a quick drink and a few losses at pool. As long as I don't get humbled, it's all good!
