Tuesday

Well, the first sets of BNW orders came in last night, so its looking as though my nightmare scenario of “having nothing to write about” is going to be avoided. So far, so interesting, but I cant tell how several events will pan out, not having the entire picture yet (I only have partial orders), but recent email activity indicates that I’ll probably get most players submitting something, which is good. All I have to do now is the difficult bit & write the returns! (Eek!)

Also, tonight I am going to the first of my Dutch courses; frankly, the timing could have been a bit better: month end, Caroles birthday and the first BNW deadline all in the same week! Already I’m stressed out, but I suspect that I’m going to be worn to a nubbin at the end of it all! Still & all, we’re going to have to see how events pan out in the near future, especially as C’s big party is happening this weekend. I know that I’m looking forward to it – and also taking the Monday afterwards off.

Finally, the global conspiracy to prevent me from getting my hair cut continues; I had booked an appointment today with the local barber (a lot more expensive than I would like, but there we go), only to now have a meeting land on my plate at exactly the same time – and its not something I can avoid to get the haircut as the people I’m meeting are flying in from the US. If that’s not evidence of a conspiracy– flying people across the Atlantic just to prevent me from getting a haircut – then I don’t know what is.

Not f**king fair!

The department is getting an award for their work in getting all the account reconciliations done in 15 days. I am not included in this award, despite all the effort I put in to get the allocation tool correct, because I only joined in August - and ignoring the fact that if it wasn't for my work, they'd still be working on the bl**dy things.

This sucks!
