Turnover

Another day, and yet another new face in the office (and surprisingly the marked absence of another). It seems we're having a run of bad luck recruiting at the moment and people seem to walk out the door quicker than they sit down. I don't know if its because we're asking them to leave, or they just don't like the place... either way we have a hot seat in the office which is occupied by a different arse almost on a daily basis.

So the Italian I was talking about didn't cut the mustard (though it now appears that he was in fact Greek (might explain the olive skin, dark hair and black coffee with 3 sugars) and so today we have a new dude starting who's a little older and has keep his head down at his computer nearly all day (which I don't know is a good or bad sign).

I on the other hand spend a good part of today playing hostess at work - brewing tea and coffee for meetings that are being held and clearing up afterwards. I also have to find out about some flights to Scotland and generally carry on with the odds and sods of work that get sent through to me.

So pretty busy all in all, which is good because it means the time goes quicker.

When I get home I do nothing - I can't do the usual of preparing tea as there is nothing that would stomach worthy by the time Phil gets home - so I wait, and when he does get back we go shopping and pick up the usual supplies and some curry for tea. I get to watch Holby City and Silent Witness, but we had to record Lost as it was on at the same time.

I don't know what Lost will be like, its a new series being aired over here after great success in the US, but the trailers so far look pretty intriguing - we'll probably give it a go tomorrow night and see what all the fuss is about.
