I had a terrible night’s sleep. After
about three hours sleep the puppy decided that the best part of the bed was
wherever I was, and as I moved about so she moved too. I tried to get some
shut-eye, but gave up shortly after 6am. It was as well that I did; the dustmen
came up the road shortly after that, and they are incapable of making a noise
quietly.
Over brekkie I sparked up my lap-top and
had a look into cyber-space. Little had happened on Facebook overnight, but I
saw that a colleague had resigned to take up a postgraduate position at
Canterbury university. I suppose it is a sign of the times that these
announcements are made via social media. However this leaves a vacancy in a
senior position at work. Should I apply? The money would be nice; money is
tight at the moment. But I’ve been in these senior positions before. I didn’t
like it much then; mind you it was for another employer under a very bullying
regime. Things might be different where I am now. But on the other hand I’m
reasonably content doing what I’m doing right now,
Will I apply… I doubt it.
I saw movement outside the house – a car
had driven away. I drove my car down to that space so we could get the sleepers
out, and as I waited for "My Boy TM" to arrive I
wrote an email of complaint to Wickes about the abysmal service at their
Maidstone branch yesterday. I doubt anything will come of it, but I felt better
having had a whinge at them.
I got bored waiting for "My Boy TM"
so I sent him a little chivvying message. That woke him up; he gave me
instructions for what I might do until he arrived. He soon arrived, and we got
busy doing some preparation for tomorrow’s pergoling.
We got the new sleepers into the garden,
and got them bolted together and level. That took some doing, and then we
attached the brackets for the pergola’s uprights. Thirty seconds to write; just
over two hours to do. But I was quite impressed with the progress.
We could have done more work, but I’d
heard reports that there was bad congestion on the way to work. I set off to
Maidstone shortly after 11am. Two hours later I got to work…
I had a text message from the passport
people this afternoon; they’ve received my old passport.
