How is your week shaping up on paper?

And how will it actually go. — asked by Esi

Physical work in the heat and I have learned about hydration the hard way.

8

Zero hours, so it depends entirely on the rota, which arrived yesterday for tomorrow.

A meeting that could have been an email, and a walk at lunch that saved it.

Quiet. I got a proper lunch break for the first time in weeks.

4

FlossieShrewsbury, UK

Busy and I ate standing up twice, which I would rather not have done.

I told my manager and she was better about it than I had any right to expect.

Term-time chaos, holiday recovery. That is the whole cycle.

Retired, so my work is the allotment, and the allotment has been going well.

A colleague noticed and asked, and I told her, and it was fine.

Long. Twelve hours and I am writing this in the car park.

Awful. Nothing to do with any of this. Just a bad day at work.
