Weekend Away

I’m in Scotland for the weekend!
Work has been a bit of a nightmare for a while now – so this weekend is a time to sleep and relax…only it didn’t start that well. I left Surrey yesterday for a meeting in Leicester… I left at 10:00am  – got to my meeting – left there at [...]

3BTs – sleep, sunshine, new iron

1. Falling asleep really early on Friday night…and then sleeping until after 9:00am on Saturday (OK so dozing, but still).
2. Waking up to unexpected sunshine.
3. Watching someone else get a new iron and then tackle the mountain of ironing that’s piled up on the floor…without any arguments at all…

Excuse(s) of the day…

Status Update:

One sales person resigned
One sales person off sick
One sales person at meetings
One sales person…?

He came into the office this morning, stayed for an hour and a half and he’s “popped out” again. This time he’s been gone for over four hours. Wonder what excuse it will be today?
Friday went along the lines of “I [...]

Upcoming gig at the O2

Prince! One of the dates he’s playing in London…
Should be a good night – should be fun.
I’ll let you know.
P.S. Why are some concert tickets silly money? Bands you’d like to see in your lifetime, but ones you’re not keen enough on to pay £200 for two tickets…? Stupid money.

Countdown

…to the holidays. It’s less than a month now until we get to jet off into the sunset for a well-earned break. In the meantime, counting down the days and working out how to get through the next few weeks is the challenge. Before we go off on holibags, I’ll go home to Scotland for [...]

3BTs – Sister, red wine, talk

1. Chatting with my sister – in a way you don’t really chat to someone else.
2. Opening a bottle of really good red wine. The ritual of removing the foil, uncorking the bottle and the glug glug of the first glass…not to mention the taste of the first sip. Yum.
3. That’s it, just talk. Being [...]

Rolling into the weekend

It’s been a weird week this week; little time to blog, little time to think or to do anything. I’ve caught up with two friends on facebook, but how or when, I’m not too sure (BTW facebook? WTF?).
Work has been really crazy – a couple of days of the surreal nonsense we always get at [...]

Golfing weekend

That’s another weekend gone
Friday after work we played golf at Lavender Park. I was awful. Nothing felt right. It actually seemed as though we were played the first game of the year. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve not played regularly over the summer. I was frustrated at my lack of ability [...]

Resignation

No, not mine, but one of the sales team.
Always interesting to deal with…but, right now, I can’t understand why the person in question still gets to go to sales meetings? Surely, there’s standard practice in place – sales person resigns, they handover accounts on the same day and then they leave – right?
Oh well!
