Mostly a work rant
Jun. 4th, 2010 11:38 pmThis week has been crazybusy workwise, leaving me little room to think about anything else. It has also been a week of finishing after six, over an hour past my normal finish time, what with Monday being end-of-month billing, and as the team was down two LAs for the day, that was all I did all day (excluding a fifteen minute break to get lunch); Tuesday having a client seminar, followed by drinks, and me being dropping home after eight, somewhat tipsy on three glasses of wine and a few nibbles, which is all I'd eaten since lunch; Wednesday was our monthly workgroup meeting, and what with two people leaving the firm, it didn't finish until 6:00pm or so; last night I was about to go home and there was more urgent work to do... Today I made a big effort, worked through morning tea, took a short lunch break and managed to finish just after five. That's practically on time. Awesome.
It's not that I mind doing this, because I don't particularly (although I could have done with it not being all on one week), but it is somewhat annoying that overtime doesn't start until 6:00pm and has to be approved, which means I'm not getting overtime for all this. *sigh*
Next week is a three day week for me (Monday and Friday off), and there are three settlements, reporting on the one from this week, finishing everything that I didn't manage to get done this week - I left my desk absolutely covered in piles of paper. Hopefully WP will have more staff lnext week, so they can do the filing. Not that I'm stressing at all about this. Now that I've complained about it, I can hopefully put it from my mind for the rest of the weekend. Either that, or I'll end up going in on Sunday before the Creature meeting...
But now it is weekend! Long weekend!
I can sleep in as long as I want tomorrow and Monday and only have to leave the house pre-serve coffee at church on Sunday, which means I should hopefully also get to the Creatures meeting at Huckleberry after. Assorted people are coming up tomorrow afternoon for crafts and hanging out - if you're particularly interested and don't know about it, email me and I'll give you the details. Monday afternoon/evening is the initial meeting for the next rpg for our group. I've been missing gaming.
