I haven't really had time to post lately, or to do anything much at all in fact. I just started in my new temporary job this week and it's been busy indeed! First off, I knew I was coming into something of a mess and that I was going to have to sort it all out. Deja vu really, because that was how my last job started also. It has taken me three days though to get the information I need on just how bad things are and it's worse than I expected. Sorting it all out won't be easy. I won't look for any help, because I've learned quickly in this business that you're on your own.
So once again, I'm shouldering a heavy burden. Mind you, turning things around and getting everything ticking over nicely did nothing for me last time around. You had to get yourself noticed there in order to get anywhere. Just doing your job and doing it well wasn't enough. Also, I thought that helping people out now and again might smooth the passage, but in reality I was just doing someone else's work on top of my own and nobody took a blind bit of notice. I won't be doing that again unless it's clearly going to benefit numero uno.
We're still languishing in the deep freeze here, but it could be worse. My niece got stuck on the motorway and had to spend 2 nights in a hotel in some god-forsaken industrial estate town and she only got a room because her mother managed to book one over the phone... they were queueing out of the door. However, the snow looks likely to melt at the weekend, before the mercury plunges once again next week.
