OliveOyls 82 day challenge

Karmacat

This is a happy thread! Hi Olive! Glad to see all are well, but yes, I'd like to see somebody else's list today!

Day seventy-something
and the office is empty (they're at a trade show) and so I am also in Sales and am also a warehouse operative.
I may have eaten 8 jaffa cake bars (there's some left for tomorrow at home) but I've burnt off ALL the calories heaving great boxes around and running up and down stairs. Refused to accept £4.5K in used notes for something - (money laundering rules, didn't know him from Adam) but have sorted out stuff that FK would have turned into a major drama if she'd been here. Not done any accounts though

Tonight I'm going to rehearsal to find out what part I have in the panto, and to offer to knit a hair-do for the Dame. But I also have to:

• send a list of stuff to one of my buyers that I could presumably sell to him without incurring e-bay fees? :whistle:
• work out what photos I already have (because DD has taken the camera on holiday) to list some more stuff and get it to finish before I leave next Thursday :happyhear :lovethoug
• feed DS2 something, and nag him to return a supemarket trolley that he brought home one drunken night as a souvenir.:o
• Strip DS1's bed, as DD borrowed it when I hired out her room, and DS1 may come home tomorrow. Not sure how I'll dry any sheets though, we now have 5 beds worth of sheets & covers to wash & dry

The bed hopping stuff is because they asked at work if someone who lives some distance could stay during the Trade Show. It was a request from my boss, do you think I should/could ask for renumeration? It has neither been convenient nor what I would choose, though I was happy to do it and he isn't horrible. But I can't even open the discussion at work because FK is so awful about this bloke and the problems involved in having an employee live so far away. (Not really her business, but doesn't stop her.;) ) Popeye suggested I should ask for money, and I absolutely don't want chocolate and flowers. I think FK would say it is not the co's problem, and if there is to be renumeration then it should come directly from this bloke. I don't want to charge the bloke.

But as the company asked you & not the bloke then I think you should ask.
nothing ventured & all that.........Def money!

But I don't know how to approach asking my boss

phew - I am very relieved ! I started thinking maybe you'd come for part of the afternoon and I'd somehow completely missed you!

If Bob is anything like she seems to be in her posts, you would not have been able to overlook her :rotfl:

I would ask for extra money as it is the inconvenience of having someone stay plus the fact that your spare time is eaten into when accomodating said person..as well as electric and gas. But then again if you are in a position just wait and see.

Now I am just organising diary for Christmas pantos..two tickets please:D
