respoftwThe less said about work this week the better. The actual work part went fine, it’s the people part that’s getting me down. Do you ever do that thing where you just assume everyone works as hard as you do because, you know, that’s what they’re paid to do, but then it becomes apparent that they don’t? I’m temporarily line managing my sick colleagues staff and, bloody hell, they’re hard work! I’m having to walk a fine line between not stepping on my colleague’s toes but also having to do something about the blatant poor performance that she’s let slide. I am terrible at those sorts of conversations, I hate confrontation so much but it’s part of my job and I have to do it and I’m trying to psych myself up for it. Ugh.
I worked late every night this week trying to get ahead of myself because past Ashleigh thought taking Monday/Tuesday next week off was a good idea. Past Ashleigh is an idiot. But past Ashleigh also booked trains and a hotel room so present Ashleigh is going to have to deal with it, lol. On the plus side, we get to see David Byrne so I’m not too mad about it!
Saturday was pretty relaxed, George was off work that night because he swapped it for his usual Monday off but he napped most of the day so I got some things done in the house. I went to visit my Gran as well which was nice.
Today was Community Day on Pokemon Go. The sun is shining now but it was pouring down for most of the three hours of the event so it wasn’t the most pleasant day but I got three shinies and went from having no third evolution of Beldum to having 4 so I’m happy. I love that it gets us out and mingling with other people too. It’s nice to run into other groups of people all doing the same thing of you and helping each other out with raids and the like.
Who said Pokemon Go was dead? ;)
Despite working late every night, I pulled my finger out and made sure to write during the week because the deadlines were starting to scare me! Thankfully, I managed to get my first sgareversebang fic finished on Friday and edited on Saturday. It’s even been beta-ed (thank you otherearthsoutthere).
I’m feeling much more confident about getting my second story written for the same challenge. (even if I am rethinking my plot bunny for it). That’s the focus for this week. In an ideal world I’d like to have it finished for next week...wish me luck!
