Now this day is really, *really* dragging

Just had a bombshell dropped on me in the form of a black tie industry awards dinner on Monday night next week. Now I have to try and find/hire a tuxedo and put up with a load of crap with the only consolation being a free meal.

This is followed by a two day conference meaning early starts and late finishes!

:mad:
 
Leaving the office at 15:00 today as I have 'networking drinks' in Richmond starting at 16:00. Whilst this is not fun and will mean a later finish it will mean an early departure from the office of doom and a few free beers thrown in.

Best way to look at it :)

Day has flown by so far - spent plenty of it on the road though. Which is fine - have tunes and it's a lovely day :cool:

ouch


I am trying to find ways to get out of an evening network meeting which will be held 90 mins drive away from where I live...:( My evenings are precious to me
 
Today I am a hero. :cool:

I have resolved a problem which has been doing the rounds for the last 2 months, been everywhere - networks/firewall admin/development/3rd party vendor.

I went, I seen, I resolved within 60 mins.

w00t. Not that I get anything for it, but I am chuffed to bits.
 
I have a brutal first four days of next week now :(
Then we are into December though and I have only got 11.5 working days with 1 day still to book off till the 05/01/09.

Definitely going to call in the early finish on Friday now to address the karma of this month!
 
We've just had a fire drill! Which I think may result in a memo saying that we are supposed to leave coats, bags and mugs of tea behind...none of which I did :oops:

The coat and bag I can understand but did you seriously take a mug of tea with you? Do you have stairs to go down?

Last time we had a fire drill some dickhead took his half eaten ready meal down 4 flights of stairs. :rolleyes:

well you need your coat incase it's a bit nippy and bag is essential as it's a good opportunity for a cigarette!

QofG's shuffles her feet and looks embarrased- one flight of stairs :oops: - I was thirsty and I thought it might get cold if I left it :oops::(

was there smoke and flames licking at your heels??


If not then you are completely justified in taking your tea
:)
 
I have just had an e-mail asking for a place on an event I didn't know about.

The original e-mail she attached is sent from a member of staff who works 3 offices down the hall from me and was sent on Thursday. It has my name to 'book' places with.

Do you think the member of staff who sent the original -mail bothered to tell me about the event, or the fact that she would be asking people to respond to me? Or has she told me what the hell I should be doing with these responses for an event I know nothing about?

NO is the answer to all of the above.

God I love communication!!

Also, because our IT Dept are so incompetent, I can save nothing today as my allocated space on the network is so small that 2 PDFs fill it up!!!

I will now do nothing but read Urban for the next 17 minutes as a protest. And also to ensure I do not send sarcastic e-mail to member of staff mentioned above!!
 
Shit shit shit

One of our property partners is making noises about selling one of the buildings. Fucking ace. Wankers :mad:

*starts checking fucking jobs again* :rolleyes::mad:
 
Finally got home about 21:00 last night and was asleep pretty quick!

Luckily a bit of a later start today as I have a 10:00 meeting in Kensington. This will be followed by a very slow stroll back to the office, hopefully making the day a lot shorter.
 
My day to work at home - watching a terrible programme about trying to sell your house in the credit crunch, smacks of a slightly selfish "I'm alright Jack and don't care about you attitude", have decided to turn over to "Quincy ME" instead - oh and I am doing some work as well, honest :oops:
 
QofG's you must of jinxed it, we had a fire alarm just now. Still not sure if it was a false alarm or a drill as the porters/security are so shit, they were not actually there.

Managed to take drink but forgot my fags. Very annoying.

i just popped out for a cigarette, even though the fire alarm was not going off
 
Back in 'the chair' again after my morning meeting.
Did not really think about where I was going but ended up in the offices of a national newspaper that is not well loved on this here website. Felt like a bit of a traitor but sadly left my morals at the door and got on with it...

Gonna type up some meeting notes and then potter out to town for a late lunch stroll and to source some cheap lunch items.

I LOVE Quincy!!!
 
stroppy email from client taking offence to my asking for sales figures on products not only associated with our name and logo, but which we paid for :rolleyes:

I do hope you replied with a smile in your voice/fingers ;)


One of my receptionists has gone home 'sick' - looks like she's going to a fucking party to me! Hair all done up, posh frock on, used her favourite 'been vomiting' line :mad: So I'm now stuck on fucking reception :rolleyes:
 
Just found out that CF rocked in 2 hours late today!!
I salute him.

In other news our parent (and I mean that in the Britney Spears sense) companies shares have just taken another tumble of 40% from yesterday to today! That means that they are now down 93% since September 2007!

:eek:
