I'm stealing a few minutes at the end of the working day to update. Surely it must be closer to the end of the week than Wednesday? Yesterday my boss annoyed me so much I packed up my laptop and went home. I don't think the reaction "A, that decision was suicide" is a particularly constructive reaction to an issue I had presented him with. Coaching doesn't enter his management style, which is more Lord Cardigan leading the Charge of the Light Brigade, so maybe the suicide remark wasn't so far off.
Anyway, I had a good discussion with his old boss on Monday evening who gave me some very robust career advice. I have commenced putting the plan into action and we'll see what things emerge. I'm ready to create my own opportunities for a change and not putting up with working with some bi-polar like behaviour from my boss is one of them.
Had some friends round last night. It was steamy hot, I stayed up too late and slept badly so an early night is on the cards. We talked about
this book. I did not like it at all. I love all the Botswana series, the quiet integrity of all the characters, the innovative approaches to issues of moral philosophy but I found this book irritating beyond belief. It has the kind of slapstick quirkiness that I loathe in Mr Bean. Interested to hear a man's view since it was terminally unfunny to me.
I made pizzas last night. I have a really hot oven (gee, do you think that's why my kitchen was so hot) and a pizza stone but I still can't stretch the dough thin enough to get a really thin crust. Interested in any tips on that.
