    WOW!
    Thanks Folks :D

    It has been absolutely mental at work at the moment and I've just been mega busy...

    Currently covering for two team members that are off ill, I may need to hire someone as it looks like both may be off long term and I cannot stretch myself to cover long term as I will burn out. Have meeting with my boss tomorrow to discuss the issues.
    Just to be clear, I'm not dismissing my ill team members, they are very much valued and needed. We need to bring in extra staff anyway, as we are a growing business; my boss has already said that he agrees that our department needs to grow to keep pace with the growing demands.

    I like to be busy but it's just hectic atm and when folks are so busy, they rush and that's when mistakes are most likely to happen...
    Anyhoo, enough about work, it's good that we are busy and we have plans afoot to ensure we don't get swamped ;)

    This evening I am going to chill with my wee dug and chat with a friend ;)

    Hope your day's have been awesome folks

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    YAY TFI Friday :D

    Meeting to discuss staffing and resources went very well and have been authorised to hire two new staff :j:j

    Thankfully, one of my two ill team members is hoping to return on Monday, which will be a great help (as she is an awesome teamworker and makes me a lovely cuppa coffee whenever she does one for herself :D of course I do the same for her too...). This means that we should be able to maintain our current pace a little easier. I hope to be able to recruit my new team members in the next few weeks :D
    Once we are back at full strength +2 we will hopefully be able to allow ourselves a little breathing space...

    The weather is braw here north o the wall and I'm looking forward to enjoying the weekend
    Hope everyone is having a grand day wherever you are and whatever your doing

    Today would have been Sir Terry Pratchett's 70th Birthday...
    Having a few ales in his memory and reading "The Nightwatch" (for the umpteenth time...)

    I was reading Raising Steam last night. I first read 'Nightwatch' in hospital with pre-eclampsia/DS1. Good job he wasn't a girl or I might have inflicted Sybil on him ;)

    Happy MSE anniversary :)

    Great to see how far you've come in that year and that you've become a real stalwart and support on the diaries in such a short time.

    Looking forward to reading your adventures over the next year :)
