I took the scenic route to work as it was such a beautiful morning, and arrived fashionably late. I opened an email apologising that payroll had miscalculated my March paycheck. My 14% raise had accidentally been backdated to October 2005, when it should have been backdated to October '04. Would I accept their apologies and confirmation of a rather hefty transfer into my bank account.
Nobby smiled at this point Formal announcement was released today that the Gubberment is rationalising us from 28 organisations down to 10 (we knew, but the press hullabaloo was mighty and it wasn't nice to be reminded). 68% redundancies (Oh Noez!)
Nobby's smile faded somewhat Invited to lunch by the boss. We're merging with our 2 neighbouring Authorities. (My role is currently replicated in the other 2.) Would I be interested in assuming responsibility across the 3? - We can talk salary later.
(Hell Yeah).
I then finished early for my Easter break.
Oh, and my friend's PA told him she thinks I'm cute and asked if I'm single. She looks like a taller version of Rachael Weisz.
Nobby had a good day.
