Wah? Where’d my week go?

// January 29th, 2006 // Personal

Ah … right … one of them!

This week evaporated in short order. The normal reason for such massive dilations of time is an increase in workload and, sure enough, I had a full comp to do for Wednesday … Thursday … Friday … sometime Monday morning. I also had a meeting on Friday morning which started late, finished late and generally accounted for the removal of the whole day from the working calendar.

Then there was the not work stuff. Petanque season is in full swing and I have a new (and mercifully improved!) partner this winter. This didn’t prevent us from losing today but it can also be said we gave it our all. Finally, for some unknown reason* I’m back on the Thrift Club committee at the pub. This means Sundays are a little fraught as the club normally (depending largely on how many rogue transactions we have to run down) finishes at 13:15 and Petanque starts at 14:00, often on the other side of the island!

At least we have the rota sorted and my new spreadsheet is now getting the same non-balancing figures as the paper copy so that’s as accurate as it’s going to get. Monday tomorrow and a comp to submit. First off though, a stroll up the road and a well deserved “f#ck Monday” pint or two
*The main reason is I actually enjoy it
