UP: Well not really unexpected at all -3 days of work this week!

IA: Probably will actually put in enough hours to be equivalent to a full work week in the run up to my holiday  :-\\\\

IA: Probably not going to have a chance to do any "work" days for the thingy I can't talk about.  :(  They didn't need me all last week or tomorrow.  Wednesday starts the "big days" where they were going to need everyone, but I have a job interview that day and leave for a visit to the US 2 days later.  So really, I'd only be available for the one day in between.   :(  Totally disappointed because I had nothing else to do for the first 7 days.

UP: Oh well, I've got a job interview for a job I really really want and really have a good chance at getting, if I manage to get the interview just right.  And I'm heading back to the US for the first time in over a year. I get to see my mommy and my best friends and drink Snapple Iced Tea until I won't want it again for another year.  ;D

Good luck NOT!

My IA: Delivery people cannot find my office. Ever. They find it, but they rarely make the effort to go up the stairs, so we are always harassing them by ringing up and demanding they, you know, deliver.
UP: the guy I rang this time was super efficient and has arranged for me to be able to pick it up this afternoon at a depot super close to work (not the one it is supposed to be at), so there is that.

Thanks guys! Stomach's already in knots, of course, but I've been preparing for it for a couple of weeks so I'm feeling alright about it.   :)

UP: A friend took us to see Much Ado About Nothing with Tennant/Tate (though we had to get ourselves to London) on Thursday and it was really good

IA: Every character "smoked" like a chimney and by the intermission I'd lost my voice.  Here it is, Tuesday, and I still have an insanely sore throat and my voice keeps fading in an out!

IA: The stress I am under here at work is unreal

UP: I will be on holiday for two weeks starting tomorrow. I'm on countdown.

IA: Just hope that I don't need to stay toooooooooo late this evening to wrap up the loose ends.

UP: I have made far more progress this week than I thought I would last week.

IA: I've worked far too many hours - Over a full weeks worth of hours in just 3 days.
