Oops
So my work laptop died. I got a new one pretty promptly, but IT were all 'oooooh, no, we don't approve of you using it for personal email etc.' so that put me off for a good couple months til I realised EVERYONE ELSE USES THEIR WORK LAPTOPS FOR THESE THINGS and figured so long as I'm not doing anything dodgy, all will be fine.

Horses and allotments
Went to check in on the foals and mares last weekend! The two foals are looking so good, really pleased with their progress.
Solero was a bit standoffish, but she's growing really nicely considering how tiny she was when she was foaled. She's got lovely straight knees and is looking a lot like some of the Havana Grey two year olds running at the ( Read more... ) -
Executive dysfunction FTW
Haaaaaaa, I'm so busy and my brain is like 'DO ANYTHING BUT WORK' because it is actually shit.
Earlier in the month we had our team All Hands, followed by a two-day conference in London, followed by a team build day. After that, we had a new admin starting (finally! after two months of me performing both roles!) so obviously I've been training her ( Read more... ) -

Holiday this week, wheeeeee!! Can't believe it's come around so quickly. I still have to clean most of the house and finish packing and check-in for our first flights and also finish lots of stuff for work, eeeeeeek.
We've found a new admin at work, hurrah. She starts in June, so only a few more weeks of me doing two jobs. Sadly, we've also lost ( Read more... ) -
Welp, I'm shattered
I would quite dearly like some sleep please. For the first time in ages last night I actually had good quality sleep, just not enough of it. Blah.
Last week was good, even if for some reason my anxiety was sky high. The previous Saturday we went to the Guineas at Newmarket, and I called the winner, which is always a pleasant surprise when I ( Read more... ) -
Damn, where did April go?
It's been like a month. Whoops. Don't know if that's because I've been too busy or nothing has happened.
That's definitely not true, stuff has happened.
I'm now a PMO Co-ordinator. But also still having to do a load of admin work, because we're only just starting to interview for my replacement (because it was going to be FTE, then it was put on ( Read more... ) -
Tired
Being back in the office (even just two days a week) is EXHAUSTING. I'm so tired by Friday.
The new guy on one of my teams is a little odd. He's like 10 years younger than me, flirts incessantly, and is weirdly dumb about some things. I spent ten minutes explaining that my promotion doesn't make me his boss, because I'M NOT IN HIS DEPARTMENT. He ( Read more... ) -
And home again
Well, that was a wonderful week away. I got sunburn and put on 3lbs. I love being warm, so the ~30C temperatures in Dubai were just looooooovely.
Flight was long, but ok. I can't sleep on planes, so I was very cranky by the time we got to the hotel at 2am, only to find they'd ballsed up our booking. They fixed it when I got cranky AT them.

T-minus 2 days
The UAE scrapped their PCR requirements for entry, and now I don't need to drive to Stansted today to get swabbed. Hurrah!
I am SO excited for our holiday. I have mostly packed. The house is mostly tidy. Spare bed is set up, last lots of laundry are being done, and I'm in the process of painting my nails.
We also managed to finally put the bulbs ( Read more... )
