Snow is falling all around us!

So, I am taking as long as my brother now between each post, only I don't have the excuse of travelling.  I think like many things I start I soon lose interest to keep it up.  I start finding things I would rather be doing (usually playing the Xbox at the moment).  I suppose the main reason is that it usually takes quite a long time right my blog mainly because it takes time to think I about what I am going to write.  And partly because I am being distracted by the TV whilst I write it.  My lazy self also thinks that the longer I leave between posts the easier they will be to write.

So anyway here goes.  Last week was good.  I went and did some serving of machines at one of our customer in Chester an visiting another customer near Huddersfield.  It took me 6 hours to get home, and then I spent a further 3 hours getting too and from the Westfield to do my Christmas shopping.

Friday was our department Christmas party, it was an alright night.  Didn't stay out that late.  It also started snowing on Friday.  So having spent most of Wednesday in the car, I spent 4 hours on Saturday travelling to the other side of Wycombe and back.  The traffic was hideous.  So spent another night sleeping on the sofa at my mates place.

I have spent the first 3 days of this week working from home, the first 2 days because of the weather, and today because the suspension collapsed on my car.  The spring had broken.  Thankfully it only cost me about £100.

The next time post Christmas will have arrived.  So merry Christmas to you all and I hope Santa Claus brings you everything you would like.

Actually quite an interesting week

Well, I think the atmosphere in the office has reached an all time low.  We finally had the kick of meeting for new team followed by lunch out.  This turned out to be 3 of the more uncomfortable hours of my life.  As my boss blustered through questions about how things were going to work, whilst being quizzed by the temp who is due to leave, and the new person who is taking her place, which we still hadn't be told about.  If it wasn't so depressing I think I might actually have fell about laughing, it was so comical.

The other person from our team who is also leaving (by her own choice), then had her exit interview and told the HR manger about all the problems in the department.  Another manager also spoke to the HR manager after speaking to some of our team at the company Christmas party on Thursday night.  So things could get very interesting this week in the office.  I am glad I am not going to be office until Thursday, I think things could be about to get a lot more uncomfortable.

Anyway, back to better things, we finally played hockey for first time in 3 weeks yesterday, and we won 5-1.  We had some our (Rex's ;op) friends round for dinner last night, which was nice.

I will be driving to Chester this afternoon to to assist with servicing at one customers.  Anyway, I think I shall leave it there for now.  I am getting quite hungry, and it is time for lunch.  Hopefully, I will have more interesting things to about the goings on in the office to tell you about.
