5th March – well… there was a tiny lapse!

Evening!

After writing up my post last night our daughter came in. It was nice spending a bit of time with her, but it did mean later than I wanted to bed.

I did not sleep well, and I’ve felt it all day.

On top of that, some shitty news at work!

There was a bit of a stampede past our little office.

We do have a manager, but this manager as with previous managers doesn’t really know what our work involves, there is no escalation point above us, everything is dealt with. As such we are left to ourselves. What this also means is that the manager forgets we exist, poor show!

Now about lunch time loads of people we’re marching passed our little office, we assumed there must be a company meeting to discuss a new system.

We were wrong, they were being told about an email about to be sent company wide.

So, without warning, our tiny team received and read an email stating a decision to drop several hundred jobs!

And our manager? Still didn’t come in to see us, and was infact unavailable all afternoon!

So I write this post tonight not knowing if I’ll have a job soon!

I instinctively feel we’ll be ok. Our contract shouldnt be moved off shore, which is what will happen to call centre jobs, and the pre work needed before anyone can work on the contract is extreme, a four month process. Give it another year and a bit, and if we still work here, then I’ll look for another job, that’s when our contract finishes.

So although I don’t feel we have anything to worry about, until I know for certain, I find I’m worrying anyway.

This resulted in a F**K it moment in the office, and both Liz and I had two chocs each out of Peter’s celebration pack!

And on other news… my contraceptive last week should have been free, so my new prescription to replace my lost antibiotics today was in effect free… YAY 😄

So, on to my daily info.

Sleep – oh lord! Crap!

Fluid – 200ml of milk, 2 cans of Pepsi max, 3 glasses of water! Only 2 cups of tea.

Food – 40g natural nuts, 60g dried fruit, 1 cheese portion, prawn salad, 2 chocolates.

For dinner Paul cooked up liver.

And supper was Greek yoghurt with seeds and honey.

Exercise – oh my word! My arms and thighs have been aching today, and it felt good, because that means yesterday’s exercises were good!

So today was an intentional easier day. I purposely didn’t pick up my prescription yesterday, just in case I needed a reason to get off my backside tonight.

So did a decent walk with a stop off at the pharmacy.

This brings my weekly total to 63 minutes of vigorous activity and 80 minutes of moderate activity. But, despite the walking only one 45 minute walk so far.

So this is me, I’m going to settle in with Alice Roberts talking about the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs!
