Yes, I do realise this is two days late - but the sentiment is still there, in that I send best wishes to all my flist for 2015.

New Year's Eve was excellent.  I spent it with fangirls, eating stew, playing card games, toasting the new year with champagne and singing along to Queen songs.  It couldn't have been better.

As I said to snailbones I think " ( Read more... )

I spent the first three days this week furiously preparing the October Management Accounts (note the capital letters) so that they could be sent to the trustees in time for next week's meeting.  So with the manager away Thursday and Friday looked good - I could sit and peaceful input figures so that I was prepared for next week ( Read more... )

... that having waited all week for various figures I finally get them half way through today.  When I have to do a health and safety inspection with the H&S person from the council, because my boss is too busy.  And from that I have to go with only 15 minutes free (just time to eat my cheese roll and yoghurt) to a meeting.  Which probably lasted ( Read more... )

And this was one of them ( Read more... )

One of my colleagues is finishing work today to go on maternity leave, so we all went out for lunch together.  The boss decided that the company would pay, which was even better.  Lunch was at two and we spent the afternoon in the restaurant.  Lasagne followed by pavlova.  I shall be sorry to see my colleague leave - it's been good working with her ( Read more... )

The Rules: during the next five days, post three positive things about your day and ask three people to do the same so the positive attitude can gain some ground.

and so, another week of finding the bright spots:

Day 87 - Writing was successful.  One drabble for watsons_woes and my lewis_challenge fic went to beta.  I should add that it came back with various questions, plus the comment that the victim changed his first way through - clearly his wife didn't like my choice of name ( Read more... )

The past week was particularly difficult.  Part way through the previous week our manager, who we all like a lot, went in for a minor heart op.  On the Friday we heard that it wasn't quite as simple.  We went into work on the Monday to learn that she was going to have a double bypass op, sometime later in the week, which would then mean 8 to 12 ( Read more... )

And so, here is the summary of my week's happy things ( Read more... )

This week has been far too long; five days after four weeks of working four day weeks.  And it's a struggle to get everything done.  It wouldn't be, if I was allowed to get on with my work.  This week I have organised people to prepare a dining room to be painted and kept the painter happy.  I've booked a removal man with a van (actually two men) ( Read more... )
