My Own Devices

In work today yet again, and there isn't much to report about that. It's a quiet enough day with sufficient lull in the proceedings to get me bored at some points. Another person has left today, it seems anyone who sits in a particular chair lasts no longer than a couple of weeks, and it's a shame because the bod who's left was actually quite nice.

I spend the morning helping out the future ex-employee with some work, and then at lunch time I nip to the garage to fill the car with diesel and make the most of the 5p per litre discount we'd got from spending over 50 quid at the supermarket. No only that, I need to fill it up as Phil is heading off to London tomorrow at some unearthly hour and I suspect the last thing he wants to worry about is refuelling the car.

The afternoon is relatively quiet, except of course when it comes to about 4pm when my boss looks over the work the ex-employee has done and decides it needs a lot more tweaking to get it looking presentable, so I crack on with that, and then realise that whilst the ex-employee might have been a good back end coder he wasn't made to be a front end developer.

Ah well, I manage to correct most of the issues, and finish work on time. I also manage to put off giving the boss a decision on whether I can work extra hours - I'm not sure what to do about that as I've heard rumours that they might be moving the office, and I don't want to commit to doing more hours if they are going to move the office somewhere out of the local vicinity.

Back home and I'm left to my own devices since Phil has had to go to London this evening on work stuff - so I order some food, have a few drinks and continue doing that never ending task I keep bleating on about.

By 11.30 I've finished the job, though I'm not so sure how good the latter results will be due to tiredness and alcohol induced confusion. I then hop in a bath to relax further, and I've only been in bed for an hour or so before Phil gets home.
