Life in the NHS











{May 9, 2008}   Rounding up the week

For a short working week (4 days one of which has only just started) I am feeling incredibly weary. Summer seems to have arrived early, which is no bad thing since we have suffered a miserable end to winter and most of spring; rain, hail, wind often all in one day. What is more my week has felt a little odd. From the person who found my blog through searching to purchase the ability to inseminate their chihuahua (you know that kind of small dog) which, while I know a variety of things, that is not one of them. Then there was a very strange dream which involved me flying off somewhere not too far away (it was a short flight) and then finding myself in the kitchen of Kim from Emergiblog where she was holding fort to a number of men eating breakfast (sorry kim, but that is the only bit I remember!)

Work is incredibly busy, as a number of projects I have been working on come to fruition. I have discovered the power of the director – I might email and phone someone till I am blue in the face but I will still get no where, while the director sends one email and gets a response so immediate it makes me want to cry! I know lots of responsibility comes with that kind of job, but oh to have that kind of power! My other observation is that a blackberry is incredibly useful if you are out and about a lot as I have been and will be today, but it causes your inbox to be a complete mess when you actually do get to the office. I definitely need to spend some time sorting it out since I can no longer find anything and I like to pride myself with keeping it spick, span and pretty lean.

So there we are as another weekend approaches, the questions to be posed are: will I be able to get my hubby into the garden to do some work there? Plus, will we go to the Apple shop to buy that new ipod touch I covert? Work is important, but I am happy to leave it at the office when it comes to 5pm ish this evening!
