Not written much recently. Too busy, I guess.
So. Hmm…
Got my WingTsun grading in June. Apprehensive, but it should be OK, as it’s only the 1st grade.
Been out a lot recently, usual stuff like pub/pool on a Weds, & pub at the weekend, but also other stuff. Went to the Botanic Gardens a few weeks ago, which was nice. First time I’ve ever been, even though I’ve been living almost next door to them for 3 1/2 years. Going to some gig tomorrow night at The Junction. Should be good. Lots on at the cinema which I want to see, now & upcoming.
Oh, & work sucks at the moment.
My line manager had a huge go at me on Thursday afternoon, shouting at me, loudly, in the lab, in full ear-shot of everyone else. Great.
Seems I took longer to do something than she thinks I should’ve taken.
OK, fine, I guess I could’ve prioritised things differently, stuff like that, but it’s not like I was just twiddling my thumbs doing fuck all, or working really slowly or anything. I just didn’t prioritise correctly, as no one had told me that what I was doing this week was so fucking important.
But now, oh no, things are delayed, wah wah wah, & it’s apparently all my fault, & she has to explain to the MD, who has to explain to customers etc.
Right. All my fault, eh. Hmm. Even though it’s been behind anyway – due to reagent problems, not human problems – & even though I was not informed of just how urgent it was, & even though she never gave off the impression that it was so fucking urgent (& did things which gave off the opposite impression).
Hah, & to top it off, she’s decided to “take things further” & has initiated disipliniary proceedings against me for it. She came up to me on Friday afternoon, & said she wanted a quiet word. I sort of hoped she’d be apologising for shouting at me in public like that. But nope, seems she was pulling me aside to inform me that I was to be given a Formal Verbal Warning.
Formal Verbal Warning???!!
Fucking bollocks.
I do apparently have the right to appeal, within 7 days.
Not sure though.
