Getting back to the point January 24, 2006
My last blog entry was supposed to be about how my attitude to work has shifted fundementally in recent weeks, as evidenced by my attitude to the approval of my leave, but I got sidetracked by the issue. Once I wouldn’t have contemplated the possibility that my manager might not approve my leave (particularly since I’m always careful to ensure my work is covered while I’m away before I put in the request). This time, though, it felt very possible. He has, by the way, just approved it so we’re all systems go.
Once I would only have turned up in jeans on a ‘casual’ day. Now I only wear my ‘work’ clothes when I can’t find anything else.
Once I would have organised appointments for the beginning or end of the day to minimise the disruption to work and to enable me to start early or finish late to ensure stuff go done. Now I go and do whatever I want/need to do at whatever time suits me.
A little thing like being surplus to requirements makes a world of difference to a girl.
well it’s very good they can give you your holidays even if they cannot restore what limited faith you had in mindless corporate behaviour.
