Aren’t last days at work before holiday great!

I know, shocking, two posts in two days! I’m as amazed as you are!
Right now, I am in official ‘killing time’ mode till 5pm this evening. Frankly this week holiday couldn’t come at a better time.
See, next week is a little thing called Customer Services Week. Personally I neither enjoy, nor am proud to work in Customer Services because it is largely a repetative and thankless task; aka mind numbing.
In the run up to Customer Services Week, we (when I say ‘we’ I mean a collective department, although I have largely avoided helping set up) have been putting together some displays to show what we do and how we do it this week. The idea is that a few members of the team are going on a ‘tour’ of the other sites to show the department off.
Not so bad you may think, and in principal it’s a good idea. However, when that preparation happens during a time that you are already in arrears with the workload by a good few days, that almost half the team will not be available next week to do that workload due to said CS Week, it becomes a bloody awful idea.
Quite how it takes three people three days to set up two sodding display boards with cut outs and laminates I’ll never know!
Anyway, I don’t care for next week. Or longer term. Put it this way, the job paper is being purchased weekly.
