{ I am late now. Of course. }
Aug. 6th, 2010 06:39 amIt is five minutes before I have to leave so obviously now is the perfect time to write an entry. JESUS THIS WEEK HAS BEEN LONG. It didn't help that I spent all of Tuesday thinking it was Wednesday, and then had to live through Wednesday too. My Boy Cousins are the loveliest but my evenings have been eaten up a bit by them and by...stuff. My long quest to fandomtime has been continually beset by problems. Last night we played whist (I am not great at whist) and then that blackjack variation (we call it 21; some people call it twist?) that I love.

Things I bought yesterday: two pairs of shoes and two alice bands. I look amazing today, I am just saying.

Thankfully the week is almost over. Work has been frustrating this week. My job-sharing not!bosses are terrible and rarely around, so much so that their boss had to intervene on some work yesterday, even after I had helped out on Monday for a whole afternoon, dealing with things that are completely not in my remit. And yesterday, then, I was helping Head Boss, let us call her, and trying to return contracts, and trying to compile stats on the office that need to be sent somewhere else, and basically being great but also exhausted. And no, I have no shame about boasting my role in the stuff that has been productive this week because I busted my backside to get into the office early, I have worked full days all week, and I am nearly, nearly on top of my own workload despite all the interruptions.
When I stay full days and/or extra, be aware that I don't just stop work at, say, 5.30, and then go home. I stop work at 5.30 and then begin my commute. It's not work, but it's a chunk out of my day.

Saw an apartment. Am tempted.

And now I have to leave. By the way, the poll was a way of picking a prompt from the Spooks ficathon. You guys helpfully picked the craziest one available.
