One week down!

So, I’ve survived a week at CUP :-) And it’s quite a nice place to work. A few niggles, of course, like having to dial a 14-digit number to access my own voicemail from my own phone, but nothing major. I’ve even managed to get some real work done, which is quite good for my first week, I think. From the comments that have been made, they obviously need someone who can land running and get serious work done asap, and that sounds good to me. Few things are more frustrating than starting a new job and spending a month reading manuals.

It looks like the daily routine will be manageable, too, having been through a whole week of it. Dropping children off at childminders and nursery, and picking them up again all seems to be going OK (thank goodness!). Going out to work does mean, though, that all the housework I used to do during the day now doesn’t happen until the weekend, so we had quite a domestic weekend. I did get to spend an hour or so playing with the children at the playground on Sunday afternoon, which was nice, and we made jam, too. Yes, more jam – we had a large marrow that just kept growing, so we made marrow and lemon jam. And very nice it is, too :-)

pax et bonum
