Uncertainty

Where as I'm in work today, Phil is still slogging through his remaining days of holiday and so spends his day in the luxury confines of the house.

All is going pretty much to plan up until about midday when he finds out that someone in his department has decided that in the spirit of christmas he's going to resign from his job. Not only that, poor old Phil is inundated with work that needs doing despite it being his day away from the desk. All in all then, Phil doesn't really get a day off having to sort this that and the other out, but I guess there is some advantage to being at home and doing it rather than being stuck in the office.

Of course the resignation of someone at work always has far reaching repercussions, one of these being that Phil may well not be able to come to the wedding we have to attend on the 29th as he might have to cover for the bloke who's moving on to the other side of the fence. There is a faint glimmer of hope at the end of the long dark tunnel of uncertainty at the moment, so it's fingers crossed that the glimmer can produce enough wattage to enable me not to look like a billy no-mates in about a weeks time :)

The rest of the day is very insignificant (from my point of view). We do try to do our christmas grocery shop online, but after me spending the best part of 30 minutes adding everything to the basket we soon find out that we are just one mouse click away from disappointment and inconvenience since the store say they can't deliver until after chirstmas. Very helpful indeed. I guess I should have read this first, but it just so happens I didn't see it and the online shop certainly wasn't advertising the fact that they couldn't deliver before xmas. So tomorrow I have to brave the supermarket for real instead of the safer climes of bytes and clicks.

I can hardly wait.
