glassy_witch...and frankly, I wish I had booked a fortnight now.
However, one thing I got to do this week, was to attend a Service Desk Institute event as an invited guest. Wooooo, Billy Big Bananas, me! But yeah, these events cost around the 75 quid mark to attend usually, unless you're a member, and I don't have the annual 700 quid for that. But on this occasion, I was invited, which made me feel terribly special. Admittedly, once there, I felt about as out of place as a fruit bat in a submarine, primarily because I was surrounded by all these terribly enthusiastic people who get to do so much for their teams because, quite simply, there is buy-in from the top of their organisations. I used to feel we had that, but these days, it can be harder to believe. So of course, I felt like I was taking up space I didn't deserve, and I skedaddled early.
However, I did figure out how to make my glass lemon tree stand up, which was a definite improvement, and I even made a sort of Rennie Mackintosh-style stained glass flower which kept me entertained.
But now I need to mentally try and prepare myself to get back to work come Monday. It's so hard to keep a positive faced mask on when you feel quite THIS pointless to the whole affair, but hey. It's got to be done eh?
