Scenes from a Worcester Day…as it happened

05:55 Alarm, ugh! Stumble, dress, pack my breakfast to eat in the car
06:02 In car and on my way to Worcester
07:30 At my desk – a very good run in (64 mph)…the road-works are finished on the M42 – a wonderful present for the New Year!
08:00 Next person arrives in the office, a new face – Nick a contractor who has jumped ship and become a permie. At least he’s honest..he said he’s come back for a quiet life!
08:46 Send an email to my brother in Norway with copies of the readings from my Dad’s funeral
09:28 Called in for a quick meeting with the IT Director. He’s got me initiating a pet project for him. I’m not relishing the prospect because he’s not the sort of person who can comfortably delegate things. Consequently, he’s almost certain to be looking over my shoulder at everything I do – grrrr!
09:38 FFS! Have just been told that I can’t meet up with the guy who has all the information for another project I’m picking up for a month. He works an hour up the road and I’ve been instructed to do the information transfer by email, snail mail and phone because the costs involved in meeting up are too high! Aaaaargh!
10:00 – 11:30 Meetingsssszzzzzz
11:30 Completed and sent a Project Initiation Document to some very important external clients.
11:30 – 13:15 More meetingsssszzzzzz
13:15 Lovely texts from the lovely the_mendicant
13:30 – 15:30 Yet more meetingsssszzzzzz
15:30 – 17:30 Drive home
17:30 ish Home now - having food and then out to college xxx
