Work – Page 2 – Me

I was up earlier this morning, around 5.45am

Got to work before seven. Today was the day for the pay ballot. It was a long day. Got wrapped up and left around 5.45pm.

The result locally and also across the company was an overwhelming rejection so the talks go on.

Met Kathy from work at Cranford Supermarket and got my new phone to replace Monday’s unfortunate incident.

Picked up some fried chicken at Munchiez and went home.

Started with the phone exiting but it wasn’t going to be that simple as I was running a beta on the XS Max so I couldn’t simply install an iCloud backup. I had to set the 11 Pro Max up manually and then install the beta profile, download the beta and install it. Then I had to back up the XS Max to iCloud and then restore that to the 11. It took a few hours but I got there in the end.

And so to bed!

The alarm went off at 6.45am. I was still feeling a bit sleepy but I got up and got ready for work. Made sure I had everything with me as it’s my first day back after a long weekend, so it’s getting everything together in pockets and bags. Everything has its place so I don’t forget stuff.

I grabbed a hefty swig of apple juice from the bottle in the refrigerator and headed out the door around 7.25. I got to work and had quite a busy couple of hours with some LTS interviews to do.

I’ve got a risk of redundancy interview to do on Monday at Hounslow Heath, and I’ve been in contact with the person concerned to deal with that and arrange to meet them there.

This afternoon, I’ve been dealing with the phone damage from yesterday. I have contacted my bank to raise a claim via my phone insurance pack that I pay for each month. They need a ‘proof of usage’ form from my provider so another call had to be made, this time to Three. I need this sent to me by email, and then I need to send that to the claim people along with £75 for the deductible. Then I have to send the phone to them for repair or replacement.

Left work around 3.40pm and got home just after 4pm. I went straight home and got sorted out, changed and dinner cooking. Decided that a small ham joint with sauerkraut would be the order of the day.

After dinner, a beer to wash it down; a little work on the the computer, then a wander off to bed for a fairly early night. 8.30pm found me climbing into bed for a quiet read.
