...trying to get that tiny last mm of coffee in the bottom of my cup - you know the one - it tries to hide in the tiny crevice between the base and sides of the cup cos I don't really want another full cup but that one doesn't quite seem like enough
...listening to a very dull conference call one random snippet:
"2.52 complete prophet build in production for COB friday, is that a valid task, anyone here from reg?"
"i guess that must be a unicorn task, are you talking about go live here or DR? for go live we may want to do our Saturday production PnL on Saturday rather than Monday"
Completing my year end self-assessment telling the management team how great I am, what a valuable member of the team I am and how my dedication and committment has made it a really successful year for the team...to then be told that there isnt enough budget to give me a pay increase that my performance deserves.
Waiting for UPS to collect a parcel. They should have collected between 3 and 5pm - I got home from work at what I thought was a reasonable 2.30 to find a card saying they had called at 1.45. It said they had called but you were out. I know that! I was at work - that's why I booked a 3-5 slot!! Re-booked for before 5 today and still no show....
That'll be why they're also known as the Useless Parcel Service! My house apparently doesn't exist in their world (don't get me started) although DPD (aka Dependable Parcel Deliveries in our house) don't seem to have any problem whatsoever! (and no I don't work for the latter though I do like their service way way better)
@Sleepy Bear - 5.30 they collected so not as bad as it might have been (ie no collection). They were cheap though - £48 for a big heavy parcel by air to Australia!
Just finished making honey and ginger ice cream. Coffee break, then cook dinner. (Also need to double check the route for tomorrow morning's speed session).

"the present" is what goes under the Christmas tree Although I prefer them in the plural
Eating lunch and wondering how soon I can sneak out of the office........
Lying on my death bed with a major case of man flu and feeling very very sorry for myself
Aah, the old Star Wars Christmas gag...
"Luke, I have felt your presents..."
I'm about to go off for a river swim
I've just been for a walk in the park with my old dog. It was very muddy indeed and the old mutt kept getting stuck or falling over. Poor old lad

Dave - that's not very interesting or informative

Working for people who talk utter gibberish, apparently.
Me, now - about to make a cuppa. Honestly, it's all go here on a Friday afternoon.
Trying to figure out where all that bad WIP came from.
