Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I wouldn't say work has been a bit hectic this week because it'd be a lie. It's been sheer bloody chaos. PartyGirl and I had been a smidge worried that we'd not had more Nursery Education Grant claims forms back prior to yesterday's deadline. This is pretty unusual, as although we always get a lot in deadline week, usually we get a couple of "clumps" of returns in the week prior which makes it easier to cope with the load. We were right to be worried.

We got two huge loads of post on Wednesday and yesterday. Yesterday's post was epic, they will sing songs in its honour. Most of it was carried up to our office in a crate. Never, ever, ever have we been so inundated before. Sheesh. I haven't seen my desk surface for two days :P

But after much back breaking effort, we've juuuust about tamed the paper mountains down to very large hills. And PartyGirl, bless her, was so pleased with our efforts yesterday she bought me and TheTempWithNoNickname a bar of chocolate each yesterday afternoon as a thank you for getting so much work done :) 's nice to be appreciated. As we muttered late yesterday afternoon, neither TooBrightTies or FogHorn have a frickin' clue what PG's job involves. I think they dismiss it as trivial. This is going to be a mistake because there are Things Afoot.

*looks left...looks right*

PartyGirl's got a new job! She applied for one of the higher grade positions at County Hall that were available through this Finance reshuffle/The Way We Work restructuring and she got the post! She's going to be working for SEN funding from July 1st. I'm thrilled for her. For me? It just gives me a whole 'nother reason to get a job somewhere else. The chaos when she leaves and (I'm betting) there's no-one up to speed to take her place? Yeh, so plan to not be there, there is not enough pay in all the world that could tempt me to be there for that *shudderfits just at the thought*
