Spent what should have been a glorious day at work today – without meetings. However, was a bit bored. Had set myself (or rather had set for me) the virtuous task of drawing up the directorate equalities storyboard. No wonder they are making me redundant. I had tried to ignore this workstream all year – not because it is not worthy – obviously it is, but because it seemed mainly to consist of filling in lots of workplans and performance tables and involve target setting – the lifesludge of the bureaucrat in other words. I had tried not to get contaminated, but felt sorry for the person who was trying to get me to do it so when a day became free, I promised to do it….
I was only partially cheered by the outcome of my exploration of e-bay. The Xbox 360 game ‘new & sealed’ costing £40. Currently has a bid of 99p against it. Someone saw me coming. Only slightly better is the outcome of the bid I have made for some dishes to match existing where I have clearly bid too much as mine is still the winning bid after 3 days.. Some people have just got sucker written all over them.
Someone has read my blog. Hurray –thank you nice lady. I think I must tell my sister about it. She claims to like my letters and perhaps she could tell her friends about it. In the meantime, I shall cheer myself up by starting my next Trinny & Susanna task; booking a table for Valentine’s night.
