Well, it finally happened – some enterprising and far-sighted organisation has seen fit to make me an offer of employment, so it’s no more lollygagging and daytime-television-watching for me. I’ll be up with the lark for the long commute (10-minute walk) into the office, there to put in an honest day’s spreadsheeting. So far it’s a only a 3 month contract, but it may lead to something further.
I started on Friday, as the person I’m working with will be going on his holidays next Thursday and wanted to get me started before he left…so I’ll see him again on Wednesday (New Zealanders get two days off for New Year’s), then I’ll be released on my own recognizance to get on with stuff whilst he’s away. By the time he returns I should be well acclimatised, as it were.
Great news!
ReplyDeleteoh a hard days spreadsheeting! All the best with that.
ReplyDeleteFandabbydoubledosie, Rory ! Well done. Etc. Hope you enjoy it and hope it leads to something longer term. Eeek. Early mornings ! Mine start again on Thurs as the kidlets return to skool. We've been nowt but lollygaggers for 3 weeks and the return to a routine will be a shock.
ReplyDeleteBravo. Will raise a(nother) glass to your success !

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend. (remember them ?) I'm just pleased not to be getting up for school in the dark tomorrow morning. And the kids have only been back two days. Eek. Enough term already.

It's going like most jobs - turn up, do stuff, go home. Once they sort out my systems access properly I'll be inundated with work, but at the moment it's fairly gentle. All that will change on Monday.
