Happy May! Maybe we'll see some nice weather soon.
Most of the DDs have come out today, and it's always nice to see them gone. I got 87p interest on my PAD account last month so that was nice!
I've got loads to do today, so better crack on but at least I'm not working again until Tuesday

Happy May to you too. I know you will be busy but enjoy your time off If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Happy Friday! I'm shattered today and aching, but the day went well yesterday. It was so quiet though, I essentially got paid for reading all day
Not complaining about that! The chairs were so uncomfortable after a while though, so despite getting up and walking around regularly I can feel it today. If I get to do it again for the GE, I shall find some sort of cushion to take with me as it will likely be busier so the opportunities to move won't be so frequent.

I don't think I'll do it if they want me to do PO. I'm happy just to stay as the clerk. I know they are really short though, so they'll likely try at some point. They've already said I'm on the list for the same venue for the GE, it will just depend on when it is and whether I can do it.beanielou said:Once you are on the list you are on the list.
