Parking Wars
I phoned my parents as soon as I got into work this morning and much to my surprise my dad answered the phone and said the majority of the pain had passed but he is still very very sore and taking things very gently. He has managed to have a cup of tea and that’s it so far – he is understandably very nervous about eating in case the food gets stuck again – horrible for him but at least he sounds like he is on the mend.
Too many office politics going on at work today for my liking – things aren’t getting any better really. Everywhere you turn there are people moaning about their lot – I just keep my head down, do my work try and ignore it, but it’s not easy. To add to everyone’s angst there appears to be ‘parking wars’ going on at the moment. The staff here have 107 spaces allocated to them, and the students probably about the same, but since the start of term staff arriving from 8.30am haven’t been unable to park. As I get here at ‘sparrow’s fart’ I’m ok but I can understand how frustrating it must be to arrive and to have to drive round and around trying to find a space. There are an increased amount of staff here now and lots of visiting staff from our sister college so it was inevitable really but short of ripping out fields and putting more tarmac in I don’t know what the answer is(just as long as they don’t start charging for parking - that really would set off the fireworks big time!)
I've entered loads of magazine competitions this week - mostly for breaks away and books - let's hope postie brings some good news soon.
The traffic was horrendous driving home - don't know why, maybe there was an accident on the motorway which forced all the traffic on the B roads - don't know.
This evening I am busy listing all out video titles (the one's we want to sell) so that Peter can try and list them on his works intranet site tomorrow. I'm also going to watch the new ITV drama Torn which looks promising.
We are planning to do a bit of bird watching this weekend down at Titchfield Haven - the forecast is a bit dodgy but I don't really mind as there are plenty of Hides there and a tea shop to shelter from any showers. It will just be nice to go for a nice bracing walk and blow away the cobwebs - can't wait.
