Today, I went to "work", I got in about 8am, spent half an hour talking to my friend, the another 20 minutes pulling a report off the system so I could allocate work to my team.

Then I had to go to a meeting where they wanted to discuss the results of the staff survey, the only reason anyone went is so we could whinge that we want more money, but all they said was "no you can't have more money, tell us something else". I spent 3 hours trying to come up with things our staff want instead of better pay... I could not think of any.

So I went back to the office, and regaled everyone with tales of how we're not going to get a well earned pay rise and how they wouldn't even entertain the thought and caused quite an uproar and rebellion which lasted the rest of the day. I did no work today, no one did any work when I got back from my meeting.

After work I went for a drink and gamble with a friend, he came away like Ł30 down.

I came home, had a shower, put some washing in and played on my PC until now, when I'm thinking of going to bed soon as soon as I've stopped arguing with the boyfriend.
