Square one

I have been on gardening leave over the last few weeks which is a novel feeling, not having to work. Given my cleaner returned to her home country, I am left without help, but given the time I have on had I decided to do a spring clean. However, unlike riding a bicycle, it doesn't all come back automatically.

On the first attempt at cleaning the bathroom, I squirted myself in the face with bleach.

I think I need a new cleaner.

Put yourself in my place

Sometimes the calamity one experiences pales in comparison to the news received from other close friends, and it is never as bad as what is going on in the rest of the world when you turn on the news.

That, my friends, is a bit of perspective on how to deal with stress.

Out of Office

Permanently.

So, I send round an email the day I resign informing everyone that I will no longer be on my work email, and for all personal emails to be directed to my personal email address.

Some people do, but the majority of the others just hit the reply button and reply to my work email.

This pisses me off.
