    Hwllo lovely friends in the box. you may soon start seeing more of me as I made a major mistake at work yesterday. I will find out what the course of action is either today or tomorrow. Hopefully I will just get yelled at.

    Lots of sun down here yesterday, today is slightly colder and cloudy.

    OH got her bonus letter yesterday, it is the usual size, happy to have anything extra so that is a plus.

    I hate cocking up at work. It doesn't happen all that often and it feels sh*%e.

    it's 9:30 and I am still in my dressing gown. Not a good start x

    (((hugs))) Anything to do with added workload due to PA being hors de combat? Hope Bosses don't make you wait long and the ticking off isn't severe - after all every human is fallible; emphasise that you have learned from your mistake (with fingers xxxed off-screen).

    ..How wonderful to have jobs where bonuses are an annual perk.. :)

    Well it's 10.30 now [actually 11.30 here] and I'm still in bed - unrepentantly! ;)

    ..Hope your day does nothing but improve ((more hugs)). :)

    Oh petal hope the mess was not too dire , can be resolved and you can show it was resolved and just get a ticking off. Also well worth mentioning that if this was due to too much work could happen again so they are warned and may reduce your workload.
    Am in exactly some position here, chances are I will be told "here's your notice then if you can't do the job" so having to think about it really a lot.

    Hope this week gets better.

    Phew! That's good news. I think one mistake, in all the years of fabulous work, should be forgiven.
