Happy birthday, Cookie!
Morning, mumpers! It’s currently 9c/48f with a predicted high of 12c/53f and mostly cloudy. Weather app says “Eh, it’s cloudy but it’s fucking decent outside. Is that more fucking positive? I’m really fucking trying.”
It wasn’t TM for a change, it was Erstwhile Manager. I suspect that’s the only free hour in her calendar! Tea in bags is perfectly acceptable, provided they’re the right sort. It is unacceptable to use Typhoo bags, but Yorkshire (and especially Yorkshire Gold) is absolutely fine.
I’m glad they found her a space, but sorry to hear it’s not the standard you would have wanted. I suppose facilities are limited if you’re not forking out a fortune for a private place.
I don’t either, I never get anything out of them except boredom and frustration. We are a small team, we work together all the time, we don’t need team-building nonsense.
Yesterday was a busy one in the campus office, but stuff got done so that’s good. I got home in good time and found 'im indoors had not done a bunch of things I’d expected he might have done. Y’know, taking a fresh bag of cat litter upstairs, emptying the kitchen bin, washing up a bowl that had been in his room for about 15hrs…nope, someone else did all of that.
Today, the Travel Gods decided to have their revenge for the last few trips. There were no trains at all running from my home station into the Big City so I ended up on the tram, which takes more than twice as long as the train. Then it would have been a long wait for a connecting train to campus, so I went to catch a bus. The ghost bus didn’t show up so it was another long wait until the right one came along. Finally made it to the office about 45 minutes later than I should have done.
Neurodiversity training this morning, taught team huddle this afternoon and some Zoom meetings to set up in between. Fun times!
