respoftwThe clocks changed last Sunday; that combined with the sudden drop in temperature is making it feel a lot more close to winter! I had to scrape the ice of my car a couple of mornings this week and it’s dark when I leave work now. I love this time of year. Sometimes it feels like I have the opposite Seasonal Affected Depression than most people do!
I’ve even made a start to my Christmas shopping. Not that I have a lot of people to buy for but I don’t like feeling rushed at the last minute so I’m pleased to have started.
Work was hectic as usual. Lots of meetings, including one with our biggest founder which is gonna be a bone of contention at the committee meeting next week, and lots of deadlines, all of which I miraculously managed to meet. I’ve cleared my schedule as much as I could to help out my boss with her to do list next week so that’ll be fun.....
Today was a perfect autumn day, sunny but crisp. We went out for breakfast, headed into town to do some errands (I had clothes to return, why does nothing ever fit right?) and then headed out to St Andrews for a walk along the beach/cliffs. Sadly, Starbucks are no longer doing their Pumpkin Spice lattes but George has discovered he likes the gingerbread ones just as much so he’s not mourning them too much!
He’s having trouble at work again, it seems like his managers are out to get him, accusing him of leaving his section in a mess and saying he has only x amount of cages to put out when it’s actually more than that. He’s going to start taking photos of his section before and after he’s done as well as videoing the number of cages which is a ridiculous thing to have to do but better to do it and not need it than have them pull him up for discipline with no backup to refute them. It sucks that he works for such a shitty company. :( he’s still thinking about dropping a night next year which I think will have huge benefits for him but psychologically I think the shift from full time to part time hours isn’t sitting well with him. It’s a tough situation.
I’m loving the influx of new SGA fic following the start of the posting period for SGA Reversebang. I got my own two contributions posted for it but haven’t had the time to do any new writing this week.
Fingers crossed for this week! I want to have my hc Bingo Card blacked out by the end of the month!
