List

Up sides of temporary new job:
- I have decamped to R's desk, which is in the quieter, cooler office
- I don't have to answer the phone, or even pretend that I'm just about to, because I am so absorbed in Important Work
- due to the above, I can listen to my iPod all day
- R's keyboard makes this nice clacky sound when I type, like an old style keyboard. Because it is one.

Down sides of temporary new job:
- It's hard!
- I don't know what I'm doing
- I think I'm getting stress ulcers
- did I mention I don't know what I'm doing?
- this office is cold
- no one is IMing me, commenting, or even posting on LJ. What, do you all suddenly have, like, jobs to do or something?! ;) Not that I'd really be able to chat much, mind you. I have tonnes to do. I just don't know what it is. Eugh.

See I'm torn, I like clacky keyboards at home, but prefer quiet ones at work (I suppose so my boss can't hear how much work I'm *not* doing)!

Having had my boss once say, as I tapped out a slightly long piece of fb on LJ one day, "What's that you're writing, a novel?" I entirely sympathise. *g* However, my boss isn't here right now. MwhahahAHAHAHAHAhahahaha! I am free to spend as much time on LJ as I like. *eg*

My bosses have caught on and have started alternating their holidays so one is usually still around! Who told bosses they were allowed to learn, they never usually do!

My bosses are married. To each other, I mean. They're off visiting Boss MJ's parents in Spain, with their two kids in tow, so they kind of have to go together. *eg* I think when they get back and discover that we've all spent three weeks skiving off, they'll resolve not to go on holiday ever again, but until then.. Well, let's just say I think there are plans afoot to go back to their house for lunch, and then to go swimming in their pool tomorrow. Uhuh. We are Bad. Not me, others, obviously. I don't swim, for one thing.

Our bosses may as well be married - they have built matching houses next door to each other in Italy and often spend their holidays together (this is two blokes, mind you - Work RPS or what?)
