'Dinky and sweet', apparently. Easily excited/distracted/grumped/confused. Very fond of Baroque music (obvs), musicals, ducks, and jelly. Oh look, kittens!
Probably not where I was aiming for #directionallychallenged
Junior: have you done your mid-year performance review yet?
BB: I wrote it yesterday in the hope that I would wake up and have more to say but no, I am just as useless today so will just submit it as is.
Boss wished me a happy holiday and I decided it wasn’t wise to reply that I hoped it wouldn’t be too awful with all his faves on leave at the same time. (On the other hand, he approved our leave so whose fault is that?)
BB: any holidays planned?
Junior Sales: I have Friday off but haven’t told Head yet.
BB: don’t. Just FYI her 2 mins before you leave on Thursday.
Mental health advice to juniors, even if it isn’t great career advice.
Head of Sales: are you in the kayak?
BB: how do you mean?
HoS: are you paddling with us?
BB: um, I’m busy bailing water out of the boat?
HoS: *laughs*
BB: at least it’s heading in the right direction now…
BB: … so I have to find colleagues to do networking practice with summer interns?
Colleague: correct. Preferably not socially awkward ones.
BB: I may not be the best judge of that.
Colleague: you’re not socially awkward!
BB: gee, thanks.
Colleague: you’re just awkward.
Desk neighbour and I are busy planning a Too Good To Go brunch next week, whilst simultaneously lamenting our imminent weight gain from this new venture of ours.
