Office Sort Out

Wow..

I am impressed, We had Helen in the office for a big part of this morning to take a look of the mountains of paperwork, junk, and assorted crap we have managed to fill up several draws, a filing cabinet, and a book shelf with. A mass so disorganised we never even dare look for things.

We set her the challenge of organising it more as a joke, than anything else. But

bloody hell!

she’s finished, junked the crap, alphabetised the files, put things in order and folders with little sticky labels saying what each section is.

And all this by 12:30….

The Weekend

Well it was a relaxing weekend overall. Which is a good thing as the working week is getting too stressfully/annoying/depressing. Well theres my own work, on top of which I seem to be fixing lots of errors made by our sys.admin in my covering of his job while he’s on holiday, and then covering of support, a job apparently so stressful the two full time support staff we currently have are both of ill and have been for weeks… But thats another story…

So the weekend, I got a lie in on the Saturday morning due to training being called off :o ) So it was a lie in then Christmas shopping, I managed to do it all in one go, just need to get 1 more and its all over and done with for another year… The only slight inconvenience to the experience (Which is a compliment if you think about it!) Was during a quick visit to Asda’s to get milk, and such. The checkout girl was scanning the goods, till she came to a bottle of Whiskey, where she looked at me, then the bottle, then at me, then at the bottle, then she asked my for proof of age!

Nothing much else Happened the weekend, Helped move some furniture out of the evil bitch aunts house, so we can finally have nothing more to do with her… Played some computer games, Watched some films, took a much needed “Time out” to chill and contemplate things.

Anyway, back to work.

Well I heard it all now.

The ISP I work for is considering getting rid of its support department for the new year, and just get everyone in the company to look after support a couple of hours at a time on a rota. This rota including the people who are out on customers sites most the time…

A well known phrase is currently jumping to mind, one involving piss ups and brewery’s….

FCMA: Weather V Ninjas

the weathers having an effect on the dojo atm.. The cold, rain, wind is for some unknown reason making people think twice about going to train in a freezing cold factory space?

Don’t understand it myself!

Ok. I was late getting there due to the very bad driving conditions. But still, Some people live just down the road from the dojo, and If I can travel vast distances, then they can get there as well.. Wasters!!

But. It was a fun evening, as it always is when there not many down.. More talking – Less training..
