I was given a job covering maternity leave on the basis that nobody thought the preggers one would come back. She is. She's coming back in November. I have until then to convince the powers that be that I am essential staff. So, I have to work my fucking arse off over summer.
I've realised this was actually what I'd hoped for - the lass coming back, doing all the crappy admin stuff I don't like leaving me to move into a more purely IT roll. I didn't realise I'd have to fight tooth and nail for it though.
