Things can only get better

That was Monday done at 3pm seeing as I started at 7. We had to stop part way through the afternoon meeting to do the one minutes silence for Sir David. 

Spoke to my manager today and told her I don’t plan to be in the office for more than one day a week going forward, she’s ok with that. There’s a possibility of me being permanent WFH but she thinks that the interaction with colleagues would be beneficial for me even if it’s only once a week. The situation is being monitored anyway to see how it goes. 

That sounds good re the work situation, of course you will only benefit from seeing colleagues if there are actually any there at the same time though 🤷‍♀️

Just popping to say hello, I bought that book you were reading and so far it is really good, so thanks for that XXX

That sounds good for the continuing working from home.

For what it is worth I think your manager is right and one day a week away from home and Mr SA will probably save your sanity

Morning all, happy Tuesday.

What a wet, dark, miserable day!

Went out to the big Mr Ts first thing for some bread for Mr SA and some wild bird food it was drizzling when I set off but pouring with rain on the way back. Got absolutely drenched by some !!!!! in a 4x4 who drove straight through a deep puddle and soaked me to the skin. There was so much water it took my breath away when it hit me in the face. Then just a few minutes later a bus did the same thing although the puddle wasn't as deep thankfully. I'm not a happy bunny right now. Good job I'm WFH today and have been able to get changed. 

I've got a Mr M online order arriving shortly, Mr SA's beer is missing yet again! So annoying when I've just been in Mr T and they have stacks of it and at a cheaper price!

Got a quieter day work-wise, only one meeting today. Got plenty to do though after yesterday's big meetings, I won't be bored 😆

Today's cleaning task is the living room although I still need to finish off the kitchen cleaning. Will have to take the dog out at some stage this morning if it's still raining as Mr SA won't be able to take his scooter out, plus there's the lunchtime run. Already done 7,000 steps so will easily hit my 15,000 target today. 

Still haven't done a proper meal plan for this week. 

Stay dry folks 😊

That is such a good point @Onebrokelady!

There will definitely be someone from my team there tomorrow so that will be much better. There's absolutely no point in me sitting in a huge empty office all by myself when I could be WFH doing exactly the same work. 

I've bought DGS's Christmas present today so that's both the GK's presents done.

I'm going to pick up Mr SA's beer from Lidl tomorrow, I'll have to pass it on the way home from work. Also got to remember to pick up Mr SA's new glasses plus some biscuits DIL wants me to pick up from M&S. I want to try and use this one day a week to my personal advantage as well as work's. 

Mr SA is driving me nuts swapping his man bags about. The strap on the bum bag he got last week isn't long enough to go round his waist and he got me to order an extension strap. I measured it carefully but the clasp bit is different so it doesn't fit. So now he's faffing about trying different bags and moving his stuff back and forth between bags. I wouldn't mind but I bought him a new bag for his birthday which was allegedly 'just what he needed'. 

We've been having problems with work IT systems most of the morning, dipping in and out on Teams calls and other Office 365 products. I thought it was my internet at first but lots of us are having the same problem. Very frustrating.

Your job is my worse nightmare…..zoom meetings - I still shudder at the thought of them 😵‍💫 Good job we aren’t all the same 😏

Will the new bum bag work worn across my SAs chest apparently that the new way to wear them 😀
