Today was appraisal day so I sat down with Julia, my line manager at 11am for a chat about the past year's work. Now don't get me wrong, Julia's a lovely woman but in my honest opinion she's not really as dedicated as she could be because she's a part-timer and loves to ramble on about how difficult it is to get quality childcare and more boringly, the price of nappies! Anyway, that being said, she was happy with my performance and gave me some excellent feedback which I'll be incorporating into my next application for an HEO post. I decided to bring along my lever arch file which contained my detailed plan for improving the Department's current filing structure, but after five minutes Julia apologised and said that she had to attend a middle manager's huddle meeting.
Whilst Mother was straining the custard Father decided to unload himself to me about how unhappy he was. I half listened but kept thinking that if he'd completed the wood turning course then he'd have much more to do with himself and wouldn't have to rely on his evening jaunts to the public house!
Mother's home made apple pie was as scrumptious as normal - she's a marvel! Her unique blend of bramley apples, cinnamon and brown sugar really make my evening. Mr A telephoned me at 8:30pm, Mother was a little cross because she was unhappy at the thought people ringing after 7pm as she always believes it to be one of those 'dirty' phone calls which her friend, Mrs Leadbetter, always seems to receive on the last Wednesday of the month. Sometimes I think the world is a very strange place indeed!
