Wednesday
What a disappointment!! What really bad timing!!
At work I was called in to see Miss Watson at lunch-time. I am being loaned to Divs Dept for three months. Starting next Monday!! I could have cried!
Next to Saturday I was looking forward to that day the most. If only it could have been a week later! I was moaning about it all afternoon. When my supervisor came and asked me what I thought of it, I pulled a face and said, ‘well, I suppose it had to happen.’ I wasn’t the first to be loaned to another department.
I certainly felt sorry for myself this afternoon.
I was owed 2 half days in leave and that had to be sorted out before I moved over. Miss Glass suggested I took Thursday and Friday of this week. That was unfortunate as I already had a day’s leave on Friday. We finally settled for Thursday and when it was agreed with the new department I can have the 24th as the second half day. I was going to ask for that anyway as it is the day of Alan’s firms Christmas Dance.
I only have half a day to work until Saturday!!
