Crikey, where has this week gone.  I can’t believe it’s Friday again tomorrow.  Not that I’m complaining as it means the weekend.  They used to say time flew as you got older, as well as policemen looking younger etc.  But I think everyone feels the same these days, young and old.

Well today I had some nice news.  The company I have been temping for have asked if I would like to stay on for another couple of months.  I am currently in negotiation over hours to be worked, but it’s a good feeling that they want me to stay.   And if I can reduce my hours it will solve a lot of problems for me.

I have a project I am trying to get off the ground at the moment, which will be revealed slowly over the next few weeks, but the only time I am getting to work on it is at night.  This isn’t a problem at the weekends, but during the week I really need to be alert at work.

I think I also uncovered an office affair today.  Sometimes just by listening and watching you pick up more.  And to be honest, being a temp people don’t tend to want to get close to you, as you’re not there for long.

I’ve remedied that by listening and then going and talking to people and asking them questions about themselves.  Not prying questions, but about things that are talked about openly in the office.

The affair is a fairly new one but I spotted the signs when I first started and I happened to catch the pair holding hands at lunch today, which were quickly dropped when they saw me.

Being the diplomatic kind of person I am, I said nothing, inwardly smiled and pretended I hadn’t noticed.  I would imagine they will be more concerned about me saying something, but of course I won’t . . . . .
