Work has been an actual nightmare for the past couple of weeks with more problems coming in than possible to resolve in such a short time, and with me setting out in the morning to cut down the amount of e-mail in my in-box, but I still have 200 more in the evening. Thursday I was seriously concerned I would have to work all weekend to clear things up. However miraculously I left at 4 pm on Thursday, had an hours conference call in the care and finished the work-week feeling I would probably be able to relax a bit. Don't take me wrong, I like being busy, but for a while now I have been bit bit snowed under.
Good Friday I relaxed. Watched my favourite episode of "Grand Designs" in bed in the morning (a British couple converting an old waterworks into a home), leisurely breakfast, walk to Shelley beach where I read my book (James Patterson - 8th confession), back into into Manly and a few beers at the North Steyne Hotel, roof-top bar and another movie in the afternoon. I made pancakes and popcorn and fell asleep in-front of the telly.
Unfortunately today I logged on to work e-mail, as I abruptly ended a discussion of weekend meet-up with a friend and was not sure if she had sent something after I left. She had, and I also had a whole page of e-mails, some quite urgent stating one of my products did not work. I texted 3 colleagues who could help solve the problems, and at 10am on Easter Saturday I got two responses within 3 minutes. Great guys! We spent the morning sorting out the problems and customer called at lunchtime - thankful. So now, I am re-starting watching a movie and getting on with being relaxed.
Happy Easter everyone, and try not to look at your work-mail ;=)
