Another busy week
It’s been extremely busy at work all week, trying to get everything done that had to be done for month end, plus looking after new gilr. Plus boy number 2 left on Friday, so that was another night out, although I wasn’t drinking.
Friday had a high point though - my boss has nominated me for the company incentive scheme. A lot of people get them - I think there are 3 or 4 per department per month, and it’s been running for 6 months - but even so I am well chuffed. Plus I get £15 of vouchers to go spend. I am also in with the chance to ‘win’ a trip - I am loathe to say holiday, because a friend went on something similar a couple of years ago (same scheme, different name), and it was mostly spent travelling, one night abroad, posh hotel, but with all work people, it’s not as if you are with friends, and can go off and do your own thing. And I think it might be the same time I am off on holiday anyway.
But I am chuffed none the less. I am only sorry I missed the ‘presentation’. I was in a meeting. Apparently the big, big boss gave a nice speech, there was a big round of applause from colleagues, then everyone turned to look at boy number 2, who was say in my desk trying to get done what needed to be done. Oh well, I’d have only got embarrassed.
My week for winning things too. Last week, on paying for my groceries in Sainsburys, I ‘won’ a carton of carrot and coriander soup in their ‘free vegetable’ give-away. Yesterday I went in again, and collected my soup. I was handed another of the peel-off cards, and won a jar of ragu! Yay me! So I went straight back in the shop and picked up the ragu, back to the same shop assistant who laughed at me, and handed me another card.
Well bugger me. 6 kiwi fruit!
I went to a different checkout assistant this time, and she wouldn’t give me another card. Oh well, I can’t complain really.
Parents have been down this weekend. Ages ago my dad bought a rotary line to replace theirs, only the one he bought was too big for their garden. So they brought it down for me, and he has spent the weekend putting it in the garden for me. I love it already - I did some washing this afternoon, and it only went outside for a couple of hours, but it smells so fresh, and feels so much nicer than drying it on the clothes horse. I hope it keeps some of that while it finishes off drying - but next weekend I will be washing overnight, so I can hang it out all day!
Off out with LELI tonight.
