Confusion reigns. Found out yesterday that HR is loath to promise that I’ll be able to start a FlexLeave in September, as the economy may have started picking up by then and their main concern is getting costs off the books right now. So they’d prefer that I started FlexLeave right away, or in mid-August at the latest. The project leadership is trying to talk them into promising that I’ll be able to take FlexLeave in September, but if not will let me go (as late as they can). Result: I don’t really know what’s happening yet, but FlexLeave is 99% a go… sometime.<\/p>\n
Gosh life is confusing.<\/p>\n
In the mean time, I paid my membership dues at the University Club, a private club that’s a couple of minutes from my doorstep and where I’ve been playing squash with Sean Morley. It’s a nice place, and I hope I get better use out of it than I did when I first joined a couple of years ago. They have good events, and there’s a very active under 40’s club (although unfortunately mostly male).<\/p>\n
Robyn and Dave are getting married on Sunday! Ack!!! I’m learning some music to do a brief duet with Kelly while they’re signing the register. Ack, ack!!… I mean, it’ll be lovely. Yeah. That’s the ticket!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
