I want to go home.
Starting my new job today on about 4 hours sleep. Yay.
My out of office message went to 8 people apparently.

How many of them clicked on the affiliate links in it?
What's the best way to move around these days? LinkedIn?
I used this.

Got my student evaluations today. Lol at five students thinking they were getting A's (only one did).
What did they other 4 get?
Donned.
I don't see who chose what, so I don't know, but probably B's, unless they are really deluded.
Department-wide junk aside, I returned, after three weeks away, to one e-mail today.
My new work colleagues seem like a good lot. I work in a team of 6 and my favourite 2 are:
Giggles: Well, he's an often dour Irishman with a dry sense of humour. He's pretty cool.
and
Igor: Well, she's a bright woman with an unfortunate level of verbal diarrhoea and chronic over thinking. She also has kids, so we were bonding over our lack of sleep when she went on to say 'what about your 3 year old? Is she good in bed?'. She then spent about 5 minutes getting flustered and trying to explain to widespread loling.
I also found out that my wage is also £1800 more than I thought due to 'car allowance' and that 40p per mile is indeed what I will get on top of that.
The only downside to the job is that I have a rather notorious estate in Southend to cover, along with all of Basildon and Brentwood.
Booked my trip to NYC for work in a couple of weeks, today. Managed to blag it so that I can be leave on the Friday get the whole weekend there (plus MLK day) and then a weekend at the end too. Essentially five days free holiday in New York
Great day today at work and in general. Upon reflection, there's not a lot I could have done better at all. Wow.
Maybe if my bitch ex had told me she was taking A swimming instead of her dad I might have video called, that's maybe the only thing I regret.

Oof. In other news, my week's been busy. Landed myself on two projects for the week AND some regular phone work. I want shot of this.
I've just been tasked with putting up 50th birthday banners and blowing up 50th birthday balloons for someone I'm sures birthday is only on Thursday. And she'll only be 49.
Done it anyway.

State of that office.
Unfortunately she is indeed 50 and is off after today so sadly it was well-received.

Did she bring in cake?
Someone turned 50 last week at work and came in with a huge Costco cake. The staffroom was packed!
Sadly not. I think she wanted to keep it quiet and was surprised anyone knew.
To be fair, she’s one of the best ones for bringing in snacks so it’s not so bad.

I had my birthday off yesterday, which nobody knew about, so I just lobbed some biscuits on the table today and didn't explain them.
Double stealth. Decent.
There's always cake in my gaff. We had a Costco Victoria sponge last week and a Costco chocolate fudge cake this week. Thankfully I'm one of th few fat fucks who are eating it.
I also became a rep for my organisation recently (I volunteered) which is to basically discuss with hr and leadership concerns raised by the staff. Been in it about 2 weeks and 3 different people have already come to me with concerns. Man of the people right here.

Casper the friendly ghost.
The one nobody has had to pull aside to warn about their hygiene.
Who'd that happen to?

Well that's me told.
Scotland next week....
New York next week for me
Going to be minus fucking thirteen on Monday
New York has serious seasons. One of the reasons I don't understand why people like visiting Dec to early March. It's seriously cold.
How did you manage that @Shindig? You dirty bastard.
I just moved here at the beginning of the month. Can confirm I have no idea why people visit before April. I guess the hotels are cheaper and it's quieter.
It's really fucking cold - hit minus temperatures everyday in the last couple of weeks. I'm not going to enjoy Monday, you just don't want to go out in minus 13.
I once went literally 27-30 Dec or so, and despite or perhaps because of the cold it was really atmospheric then.
I remember standing on the outside deck of the Ellis Island ferry as we went past Liberty Island, me and my brother were the only people on the whole ship braving it despite the carrot of a close up view of the statue. I can only describe the cold on that boat trip as FUCKING cold.
Any place that’s not England or the Tropics has serious seasons
Did they chip in for some Driclor? Or was it worse?
I'm lost. Someone show Boydy where the quote button is.
Y’all bullies now?

I just can't believe this is the thing Mahow decides to go after.
There's lads going around in yellow cars that will give you a lift in exchange for money.
