8 Days a Week

So, eight days and no post (technically nine days now given the time) you’d think I’d have plenty to report, but sadly this is not the case.

The most interesting thing to happen all week was a former college, with whom I worked with in my previous employment. Big wow wee you may say, but if you'll take a moment for me to delve into a little of my employment history I can explain the impact this interview had on me.

Back in my last job, half of the staff of which including company directors now work with me in my current job, I sat in a table of four which covered administration and project co-ordination for the construction department. One half of the table did one set of jobs and the other half did another set of jobs, and when I moved to my new work place the job I undertook no longer existed due to this company being more independent than the last. This being the case I currently am undertaking and learning as I go the jobs that were done by the other side of the table. If you’ve not guessed by now, the reason that I was so concerned about my former college’s interview is that she holds the post other side of the table.

Now, I’ve been assured by friends and family that I have nothing to worry about and that there’s no way I’ll be replaced, but (I know you saw that coming) here’s the thing – if I was my work I might replace me. I’ve done anything to badly mess anything up, not at all, but (there’s that word again) things could be done better simply because I’m learning as I go and I am the only person who can tech me (messed up huh?). This is a new company trying to lay there claim to this particular market place and a company like that needs things to be done as well as possible – I wouldn’t take it personally is what I’m saying. Like I said though, it’s probably nothing.

And that is really the whole show for events so far this week. Coming soon is a day in town and night at Shaw’s tomorrow in celebration of Nigel’s 24th Birthday (which ended three hours ago) and a trip to Millport in a few weeks for a few days with Laura and Street Fighter Stoo. For now, that’s that with that, as I frequently like to say more and more these days. Hopefully by Sunday there will be more interesting happenings to report on.
