Hello everybody. It's been another mild, rain free day today. Son has gone back to Nottingham - it was really nice to see him and we had a lovely night last night just chilling and having a few drinks.. The cat was overjoyed to see him. He was always her favourite and as sooon as she heard his voice she ran downstairs to see hin and then sat on his knee at every available opportunity. I went to the gym after he left - hoping to undo some of last night's excesses.
I'm really looking forward to joining my new tean tomorrow and doing something a bit different. I was also becoming very stressed in the team I was in. There has never had an issue with my work. I hope you don't think I'm bragging but I am consistently the highest performing caseworker in the team and I've only had one high risk error (where I didn't bar somebody who QA thought should have been barred. I still think I was right
) in eight and a half years. My last two annual appraisals have been 'outstanding'. About eight months ago we got a new team manager. Everything I have sent to her she has sent back with something wrong even if she agreed with the decision. She's disagreed with my decisons - of the five I've asked to be referred to the next grade up the result is 4-1 in my favour. I had got to the point where I don't know my ar*e fron my elbow, and I'm overthinking everything. So much so that in October I've only closed three referrals. I usually do anywhere bewteen 8 and 12. So I can't wait to get away from her.
Anyway apologies for the moaning. Let's move on to better things. I thought we did alright yesterday. Would you have taken four points and a cup quarter final spot at the beginning of the week. I would. I think I'm with
@fandjango - In Dyche we trust. He's definitely getting there, we look mentally stronger and his management of DCL has been really good - actually giving him time to recover.
I'm meeting one of my friends on Wednesday for one of our regular pie, chips and mushy pea lunches. That will also be fun but may also require additional gym time.
So glad Mrs Pete is feeling better
@peteblue . I hope the helping your friend went well
@Gwladysover -
you' re a good egg!
Have a lovely Sunday evening all x
