very wet and windy today. so wet in fact i had to empty some water out of the pool this evening (bashing my head on the washing line during the process)
i had my law and economics lecture first thing this morning . it was raining so i decided to go straight there rather than going in to the office first to drop my laptop. unfortunately i got a bit lost (quite impressive in auckland) and ended up wetter than if i’d gone with my usual plan.
when i did get to the office after the lecture my work laptop’s hard drive had failed so i couldn’t do any work for most of the day. usually this would be nice, but i’ve got so much i need to do by some short deadlines so it made for a pretty rubbish day (i did have a load of meetings though and it was back in action by the end of the day).
and the final org chart for the Telecom team i’m part of was published. unfortunately my part of the organisation chart has changed slightly due to complaints from the lawyers (!) so although my job still exists, and that of two colleagues i work closely with, there’s now an extra person between us and the head of department. so it’s effectively a demotion. although the three of us will be able to apply for the vacant role if they decide to fill it in a few months time.
all a bit strange, but it makes things neater. And there’s no salary reduction or responsibility change so it’s no big shakes. typical lawyers.
sounds like the girls had good days at school, although jane seems very busy in her final week before the school holidays.
