next entryI'm Sorry But...
I know I booked economy, but really!
In work today, and I've some rather bad news to impart on my boss - you see they don't know that I'm going away for most of February, well, they didn't up until about 9.15 this morning.
Actually they were quite good about it and agreed to me having the time off. I think I phrased it well enough to let them know it wasn't a question I was asking, more to the point a fact I was stating which probably helped. Anyway, they said yes, albeit with me taking half of it as unpaid leave. I can cope with that for now, who knows maybe when I get back I will make that career move I've been rattling on about for X amount of months now.
I've so much work to do today that I don't stop for lunch and I work right through till 6 pm after being landed with some more "urgent" work to do for a presentation tomorrow - amazing isn't it... I figure someone has known that this presentation is coming up before today so why hasn't anyone planned ahead a bit better instead of inconveniencing everyone else with work that just has to be done or the whole world will end. Strangely this place is getting more and more like my old job, which isn't optimistic from my point of view.
So my plans of doing some exercise this afternoon when I got home went out the window, and instead I booked my tickets away and cooked tandoori chicken for tea, and since it had been marinading since this morning it was pretty darn good!

That's pretty short-notice saying you're off for a month. I bet they didn't really like that.
