<lj-cut="work rant">

Boss informed me I had caused "an upset", by, basically, being right about something, and insisting I was, resulting in a big TL confab (apparently), upshot of which was that I was right, and should carry on with said case in the way I thought. (he threw away my referral paper because it was "messy", ie there was evidence of him being wrong on it). He didn't seem too chuffed...

Later in the afternoon I was called in for a "back to work" interview (ie what you get if you've been off sick). I haven't been off sick since October. Was mildly perturbed when told I'd exceeded my sick day quota for the twelvemonth, and was about to question it when he realised he'd made a mistake, and written a running total of days off in the last year in a vertical column, then <i>added them up</>, resulting in me having apparently had 15 days off since last feb, when in fact I'd only had 6 (4 of which were in feb). I wasn't best chuffed by his "well I suppose that cou;ld happen to anyone female" comment (after the discussion about when I was off due to spomtaneous-allergy-to-hair-product incident), followed up by "here's hoping you don't get the virus going round at the moment" comment.
All after yesterday's being told off for putting in inaccurate figures (I realised that the way I'd been adjusting then that I was making one of my averages worse, and quite frankly I just couldn't be bothered last friday - I don't quite see the problem with doing 5.21 mandays' worth of work in 4 days, but there you go...

I'm soooo glad we're on strike tomorrow! (yes, I am going shopping, rather thatn picketing/demo-ing, I need to get my course set texts (course is "Exploring History: Medieval to Modern 1400-1900), and I may as well spend the rest of my voucher collection (which I found when I moved house!) when I have someone to shop with, as shopping isn't an activity I enjoy much. I think the lack of Saturdayness may make it a more survivable experience too.
And the eveing rounds off with the second leg of the Spurs/Arsenal game (highly entertaining as other half is a Gunner, our other flatmate is a Spurs fan, so the commentary/baiting is highly amusing! Hopefully it'll be as good a game as last week.
