arthur_p_dentHi all. I'm going to attempt brevity this week, as I am desperately in need of a decent night's sleep.
The tail end of last week was pretty good, especially the half-day I took on Thursday. Lunch with my friend was a great visit, and my out-of-town trip included dinner at one of my favourite restaurants and a fantastic concert. The weekend was productive as well, although I did end up taking on 1 or 2 more tasks than I really should have (I'll never learn).
Work is becoming more and more of a shit show every day. My boss quit - today was his last day. Two others have quit, two more at least are actively interviewing, and another could retire whenever she feels like it. It's quite feasible that by the end of November the department could be down to its last 3 or 4 people (from almost 20 at the start of the year). Obviously that makes my future even more questionable than it already was, and I need to start seriously thinking about what my options are.
Got a couple personal things to start tackling. During the two months I spent working from home I put on almost 10 pounds - pretty much everything I worked so hard to lose over the past two years. My sleep schedule is off the rails again as well. Being back in the office means getting up earlier, but I've also gotten used to staying up later - bad combo.
On the plus side, curling season starts Friday. It'll be great to see the group again (most of them I haven't seen since the banquet in April). And I plan to get some more of the fall outdoor work done on the weekend as well.
That's as brief as I can make it, and now it's off to bed for me. Have a wonderful weekend. =]
