Had a bizaare day today!
Got to work on time, 5 minutes early in fact, which is VERY good for me at the moment (although kids are on half term so that could explain it?!). Work started bad, 2 hour technical meeting to commence at 8:30am and it's full of useless jargon! I am supposed to take the minutes for this meeting but this morning, not really with it and spent the first 15 minutes daydreaming about my previous 2 minute meeting with OH in the kitchen. Eventually catch up and actually the meeting doesn't drag too much.
Around midday SH gives me 1 weeks notice that we're having an off-plan launch in the conservatory for one of our developments and it's up to me to get the sample bathroom units, kitchen units, granite work tops, sink taps, shower taps, interior doors and tiles in ASAP. I go into panic mode but do a relatively good job of delegating most of it and I now have a clear record of what needs to be done. I must admit, if I could have anyones organisational skills... I would have mine!
6pm tonight I bump into Paul W at the bottom of the stairs, "I have something for you" he says... I'm convinced that it's going to be something to do with finding my boilogical father but it's a letter saying the following:
"Do not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Find the courage to face your fear and when you follow it's path, turn your inner eye. For where it has gone there shall be nothing. Only you will survive".
Now those are STRONG words. I know Pauls only trying to advise me but he's actually freaking me out a bit?!
Come 6:50pm (and yes I'm still working!!!) Paul B (my big cheese boss) asks me to go to the pub with him for an 'informal' chat to discuss my progress etc. FUCK! Can't say no, have to go along. He drives as the pub opposite work is closed and I spend an hour trying to make small talk with him. He's actually a good guy, but makes me very nervous... Turns out I'm doing a great job and everyone's pleased with me which is nice.
Get back to the office at 8pm and OH is just leaving (he works TOO hard!!) - he calls me to see how drinks went and we chat for 10 minutes or so... regular calls/texts and meeting up going on now so I think it's safe to say I'm progressing! YAY!!!!
That's been my day, over and out :-)
