I'm being seconded to do an exercise
that requires me travelling to another office, in order to ensure that the files they hold for a fund they manage on our behalf, have the correct data on them before they get transferred into defra, who are taking the programme back in house. There are about 1,356 of the bastards in total.

I am slightly impressed at the rate I'm getting through them, though, considering I had estimated that to have the exercise done by the 27th June deadline I'd need to do an average of 45 per day. But still, I'm bored shitless; I have no computer and there's usually about an hour's worth of downtime waiting for files each day, and none of the mean spirited cunts have offered me a cup of coffee since I've been there.

I have exercised EXTREME self restraint
I have had a bloody awful few days at work and I desperately wanted to buy myself something to cheer myself up. I found two pairs of utterly beautiful shoes and did not purchase either.

the fact that I have £40 to last me til the end of the month played some small role in this, I have to admit...

(Bazongaloid, Tue 17 May 2011, 20:46, Reply)

I have had to award myself a dairy milk consolation prize
because I could buy a bar of that for a quid, but the shoes were £30 and £65 respectively...

It does amuse me, however, that I was in Kurt Geiger thinking 'what would Amberl do?' - I came to the conclusion that you'd probably have bought them anyway and just not bothered buying groceries.
(berk, Tue 17 May 2011, 20:49, Reply)

£30 - £65 is a lot of chocolate

Well done on not buying shoes you don't need.

If work is coming to an end soon, why have things suddenly got all shitty?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 17 May 2011, 20:50, Reply)

But I wanted them Jeff
they were so pretty.

There has always been an unpleasant politics-y thing going on at work; it flared up over the last few days, as I was basically accused of lying and not doing my job, despite being able to prove without doubt that I'd done something that I said I'd done. Unpleasant politics then dictated I should have an uncomfortable few days with one member of staff bitching off about me behind my back.
Plus, searching for jobs really fucking sucks balls.
(berk, Tue 17 May 2011, 20:54, Reply)

Well don't just put up with it and accept that people might hold that view of your work.
Make sure everyone knows that you've done what you said you were going to do. If the department is closing and your colleagues are going to be in a similar position to yourself, now isn't a good time to have this bit of doubt hanging over the quality of your work.

Make 'em listen berk. MAKE. 'EM. LISTEN.

And, if it'll make you feel better, why not post a link to the pretty shoes. Even if they are fuck-ugly, I'll post a comment approving of your selection.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 17 May 2011, 20:56, Reply)

Oh, everyone who matters knows I'm right
it's just being accused of it in the first place really hacks me off.

pair one (they look better with the cuffs turned down)

pair two
(berk, Tue 17 May 2011, 21:02, Reply)

You're right.
I view the first pair with the sleeves of my shirt rolled up and thought, 'Nah, they aren't that special' - but then I looked at them again with my sleeves rolled down and thought 'Wow! Don't they look nice!'

If I'm being honest though, I preferred the second pair.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 17 May 2011, 21:09, Reply)

See, they both have their pros and cons
the first pair are very pretty but I don't know what I'd wear them with, and the second pair are also very pretty but I don't know how long I could walk in them before they start hurting my feet; probably not very long at all.

So on reflection, the bar of chocolate was best purchase you could have made.
Why not rustle up some ice-cream as well.

Normally that programme annoys me right up until the last ten minutes.

Most of episodes are like
