Run Down To Holidays

Yep! I'm running down to my holidays. I have today and tomorrow left, then I'm off for a week.

It was supposed to be two weeks, but my colleague with a younger child is also on holiday for the second week and there's always been an unwritten law that those with children get priority. I can't really complain. I benefitted from it when my children were younger. And, it means I get those five days to take at another time.

So, what am I doing this week? Well, I'm trying to clear my desk. But, have you noticed that, as soon as you clear a flat surface, someone puts something on it? It's like, when you clear the coffee table in the living room, someone will drop their books or letters or bag or something onto it. It ends up just as cluttered as before. Well, that's what's happening to me. I clear a space on my desk and, SPLAT! Another piece of work to do.

In fact, some of the work is not going to get done. I've just been given a piece of an NPD project that will take about a month. I hope they don't want results any time soon! It will take me that long to catch up again after my holiday. I mean, who feels like working for the two days before and after a holiday?

Ah well. Let's clear another space for someone to clutter up!
