The 'picking up the mess' week

mood: 
happy
I started work again this week after two weeks of holliday. I almost regretted going away because Monday was a disaster to find anything on my desk. Paper strewn all around, I'm sure they did it on purpose so that I never leave again. Though luck, going anyway.
Apparently a lot of things happened in those two weeks as well. They guy that was replacing my colleague for her pregancy leave has left, he is going to Turkey for the whole summer to entertain tourist at a holiday resort. They're not going to take him back again after three months, so that was a bit of a bust. Then I found out my colleague herself isn't coming back!!
She only wanted to come back on a half time base, but my boss didn't want to go for that, so she is staying home and looking for something else. The conclusion in all this is that with the ongoing crisis they're not going to employ anyone else to fill the position. So lucky me, I get to pick up everything from her job as well. It is going to be hell the coming weeks.
On the positive side our company is getting more orders, so we might be going out the year on a quite positive note. Which is veeeeery good for the employees! I hope so, because although it's hard work, I like working there. I'm finally getting used to it a bit and I get to do more fun stuff. Taking files to customers and going to info sessions: all in all I get out more and I love it! :)
Today the bf and I are going to look for a new heating system. Ours is botched since a few months and now that it is summer it's the time to look out for something. Could be a cost of 4000/5000 euros, which sucks :( But hot water is important as well.
Last night we went out for a drink with one of my ex-colleagues (and my bf colleague) and his wife. It was nice to talk to him again, since I hear he still asks news of me once in a while and they don't live far. We should do that more, but it's always the same thing... find the time.
Busy weekend ahead, so I say byebye!

I hope that with the prospect of your company having progress, maybe they will be able to hire a new person next year :)
But it's great that you're becoming more involved in your job and increasing the joy of doing the added tasks. I hope you'll survive the accumulated stacks of papers on your desk :)
*hugs*
Have a marvellous weekend
Myr

Until now I've survived, the holidays are coming up so it's very quiet at the moment. I'm not complaining!
In a few months it'll worsen again but for now it's easy going.
Hope you had a good weekend :)

It's always nice when people actually tell you what's going on ;)
