Did I wake you up, LG :-D :-D

You most certainly did YG. I had just nodded off on the throne :-D. How did your day go

Pretty hectic. Of course we did all the setting up and clearing away afterwards. It is easy to say let the men do it, but they won't.

The briefing was very interesting. Our new CEO certainly seems to have huge aspirations and I hope she can pull them all off. We also have a new Chair of Council starting next week when the old one retires and he is already making ~~~~~~~~s.

There have been a lot of changes over the last few months and there are going to many more, with them bringing in three new top executives, so a whole new ball game.

My line manager has left her husband today after 5 years of marriage. Don't know what has happened, but hoping her temperament might lighten up a bit once she gets settled in a place of her own. :-(

I was up at 5,20 this morning so feeling a little wilted tonight :-D :-D

My word it was a busy one for you :-0.No wonder you are frazzled.

I'm planning on being in bed by 10pm. Whether I make it or not is another question!! Duffy is already snuggled up in his bed right in front of the radiator, with his legs stretched out. He looks really comfy :-D :-D

Well that just reinforces my thoughs. If there is such thing as reincarnation I am coming back as a cat ;-)

Me too!! All he does is eat and sleep and come for a cuddle when he feels like it. No washing, ironing, cooking, cleaning, gardening to do and walks round as though he owns the place :-D :-D

Just finishing my cuppa, then I'm off for some sleep! :-) :-)

I'll catch you tomorrow hopefully. Sleep well, LG <3

:-D :-D. Same as these two here then :-D. Nite nite YG catch you tomorrow

My goodness, what a stressful day you've had YG. Hope you are getting a good night's sleep. 3 new executive officers? Does that mean less charitable money to go towards the 'service'? :-(

Sounds as if your line manager will still give you a bumpy ride, but at least she is working in the right place.

LG - Did you reply to ~Linda~ on the thread she put up especially for you??

yuk yuk what a horrible day out ,
had a chance to chat to the boss yesterday she asked me how i wanted to do my hours so i asked if i could do the same shift patterns as i am on however this week as the rota is already done i am doing a three day one but it will kill me i think particularly as its getting cold now .

Good morning Maz - there's a clear blue sky here :-D

Does the extra one-off shift mean you'll be working 24 hours? Yuk! Hope you get a good run of days off to recover from it.

our sleep shift is 26 hours but next week it will be 31 hours

:-( Knackering

Its a pity they wouldn't allow you to add on a couple of extra hours to your current shifts, until you were balanced

its OK i get rest times lol it also depends what is happening too sometimes its just watching tv lol

Evening all.

They are long shifts, Maz. I hope you get plenty of restful periods, then it won't seem so bad.

DET, we have had three senior managers leave recently, so although it will cost more, most of it will be found there.

The new CEO is very upbeat and determined to spend the funding wisely and we are all buoyed up by her. There will be big changes, and I think either a big shake up in one particular area or some lay-offs, but our department is ok. I hope that she will make our life somewhat better in as much as we can concentrate on important work instead of molly-coddling some to the extreme :-D :-D

they are but the sleep shifts unless we are called upon we are in the flat from 10 pm until 8 am ,so if we invest in the right attention times in the right areas we get that rest unless someone is poorly
YG it seems all is shake ups so hope it wont affect you too much and as you say are allowed to do your job

Evening all, I am curious now DET what thread is that :-S


EDIT, just found it and replied :-D

Evening, LG

Evening YG.Thanks I have at last replied to Lynda. How are you today

I'm ok thanks. Ready for the weekend.

Busy day tomorrow! Kitchen blind to be fitted at 9am, then a manicure, visiting eldest gd for her birthday and food shopping. Somewhere in between I need to do the unmentionable and then sanding and painting on Sunday!! :-D :-D
