Albatross, for Chrissake!
Hush.
Don’t tell anyone but I am supposed to be on a coaching course. I didn’t want to go on it and I have just found a great excuse to stay at my desk.
It means doing actual work, but it is important and against a deadline, so I can live with that. It also means that I can play with LJ from time to time and check my email, all the things I hate missing when I have to do something away from the PC. Right now, mind, I have to contact Three Valleys Water and spin them a yarn as to why we haven’t paid the water bill yet, and give them a good reason not to:
Oops.
Still, I have a plan, and that involves them not having updated their records to include unfortunate little me on the tenancy list, so how was I to know they need paying?
For these sound tactical reasons,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
colonel_maxim is keeping mum on this one.

a) demand the entire year’s bill in one dollop;
b) cut the water supply off, and
c) sue our arses to next year and back.

It's probably another example of the Dept/Senior managers, shelling out shed loads of dosh in the hope that by encouraging the lower grades to think about line management in terms of 'coaching', the Dept will, over night, be chock full to the brim with leaders in waiting.
...Shakes head forlornly. When will they learn. More to the point ....when will they do something actually useful like get us a building that we can all fit in.
As for the water bill - maybe you could persuade them that you don't have to pay because it was all the water to your street that leaked away through broken pipes......
