Tuesday

Well, after 13 hour stint in the office yesterday, I decided that, d/ammit, I was going to come into the office late today & let the other people handle the routine am cr/ap that normally lands on my desk when I’m the only one in. Sadly, it backfired completely. I got in for 9:05 (about 45 minutes later than usual for me), but the other people didn’t turn up until after 10am (slightly later than normal for them). I might have to take a leaf out of their books, methinks and come in *considerably * later in the next few days. Perhaps in the afternoon…

I also feel vaguely unwell; personally I think that this is mental fatigue from the year-end gubbins I’m dealing with (its very grinding) but I have a sneaky suspicion that I’m coming down with a bug. At least, I hope its only a bug – I really don’t want a dose of Turkish flu…

And apparently its not Thursday afterall. Its only Tuesday. I wish to raise a protest, possibly in the form of a petition.

Pension update

Pension starting appointment now made for next Tuesday. It was the earliest that I could make the appointment with someone who spoke english & also knew about pension schemes, so I consider that to be a positive step.

On the downside, its not quite as rigorously arranged as I would perhaps like as their computer system was down. As such, instead of it being formally input into their system, I actually have a yellow-sticky with the following sentence on it: "appointrnerit aBn AMRO tuesclaj alr 14:80"

I choose to treat this as a success.
