on blog, because it hasn’t been IRL. Tim’s new contract has started, so we’ve both been upping and outing at 7.30 in the morning, with him driving past me and on to the outskirts of Manchester. This week has been bearable traffic wise (apart from Monday and the fog) as it’s been half term, I’m expecting next week to be a lot tougher. (Then of course me and the kids are off for a week – joy!)
Work has been horrendously hectic – I don’t like to say no to project managers with urgent issues, but I’ve had the situation where every single member of the team, even the trainee programmer, has been flat out on priority golive issues and I’ve just not had anyone to reassign. not helped by the fact that my most experienced team member is off on hols, next most experienced is off next week (before the first one gets back) and ppl keep keeling over with a variety of bugs. Oh well, another week and I’m on hols 🙂 Oh, and I’m not actually working right now, I’m on shift this evening, although I couldn’t resist the temptation to log on and check mails. Big mistake, I’m now having three mail conversations that I should have stayed out of…
right, have much to get done today, not least emptying the storage container of my books and finding somewhere to stash them in the garage. Have done washing up, have washing on, and am about to ruin the kids’ day by telling them they’ve got to get dressed to come in the car back and forth while I get boxes from one place to put them in another. Did try last week to get my mother to come round for a bit, but she’s never responded to any of the messages I’ve left on her phone (she may be away of course).
Hoping that after this weekend, may be able to organise renting somewhere nearer to school and works, which would cut down on the commute and allow us to empty this house in preparation to selling it. Yes, I know I’ve been hoping that for a while, but I’m trying to be an optimist, OK?
