Grumble Or Grateful

  1. I dunno whether to be grumpy or happy :neutral:

    The biking doors were unlocked for most of us yesterday of course, but the weather up here was pretty crap and cold yesterday so I didn't bother going out.

    Today it is warmer and sunny, an almost perfect day in fact...but I have been un-furloughed and started work (albeit from home) again this morning.

    After the 6 weeks or so off, I am absolutely swamped with a backlog of stuff to do, plus the real reason I am un-furloughed is a new project the boss wants sorting for the website, so I cant really sneak out and ride or the work doesn't get done, and this job is priority :rolleyes:

    So - should I be glad I am back at work again, or pissed because I am allowed to ride the bike and don't have the free time :laughing:

    Answers on a postcard ;)

    ( I think I am more happy than sad really)

    back at work, well done.
     
  5. If it helps for balance we are going to be Furloughed possibly for another 4 to 6 weeks even though production is starting next week at all our plants. Here's hoping for Rishi's new October extension after that o_O oh, and I've been out on the bike in the sunshine today :motorcycleduc::fist::yum

  8. The fact of the matter is, I actually enjoy being grumpy anyway but I do love my work too :D

    I have a couple hundred mile round trip to an office meeting on Monday.... the weather at 6 am will decide if I use 2 wheels or 4 :)

    Its too much to discuss on Teams, so its a well spaced out meeting in the boardroom for 5 of us.
