WOO HOO! I’m officially on holiday until 3 April and I’m ecstatic. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I’m not going to think about anything related to work at all this week. I hinted in my last post that something was upsetting me, well, we had a meeting on Monday where my boss announced they were creating a new post in the dept. The job is mainly PA related, taking minutes in meetings, booking travel and accommodation, etc, and the idea is to draw up a four way rota so we would all have the chance to do this for three months of the year. So, what’s so bad about that, I hear you ask? Well, PAs are actually paid a helluva lot more money than we are at our current grade and so far, everyone I’ve discussed this option with has told me that this type of job should not be done by someone our grade. Basically, they are taking the piss even offering it to us.

There have also been a few petty other issues that have really annoyed the hell of me this week and upset a few people I work closely with - so I’m not inclined to bend over backwards to help them out.

So, the plans for next week: finally take the time to get used to my camera and take those pics I want for my family tree website. I’m also going to do some work on that site and a few others that have been neglected lately. I’ve no intention of staying in front of the computer the whole time. I get paid next week and all that lovely overtime money should be in my bank account by Friday and I feel a shopping spree coming on! I’m not a big fan of shopping but I deffo need some new clothes and I’ve put it off long enough.

I’m also definitely going to start writing that story that has been buzzing around in my head the past few weeks. Promise!
