It’s nice to be wanted….
…I think.
Today I got up at 5 am to drive to the office in England. It was agreed I would stay overnight, and come back tomorrow night, before spending the rest of the week at what is pretty much my permanent placement 7 miles away.
Only they rang me up. “Any chance you can come back for half a day tomorrow?”
Half a day? How will that work given that it takes about 2 and a half hours to drive there (2 hours if I wanted to pay the £5.30 to cross the bridge, but I am too tight for that).
“Oh, right, never thought of that, I’ll ring you back.”
Five minutes later. “Can you come back for the whole day? Make this week one of your weeks you do 4 days, swap it with one when you are doing 3?”
So I had to drive back tonight, after a very long day. I am exhausted.
However, got a result in my pocket - boss has agreed to pay £15 a month towards my mobile phone bill! I was angling to get a tenner, so I am well chuffed!
