anonymoose_au11:15pm: I neglected to mention in yesterday's entry about the work crisis I found myself in - we have some community libraries - they mostly run themselves, but one of them receives funds to buy books from the Council. I was put in charge of making the order from the selections they send to us and I'm meant to keep an eye on the budget. Well, I made sure that they didn't spend way too much on books, but in doing so I didn't really keep track of the budget even though I had a spreadsheet and it turned out they've underspent...by a fair amount and if that money isn't used up it disappears! D:
As you can imagine this is quite a fuck-up and I was panicking about what I was going to do about it, I talked with one my colleagues - or rather I blurted out all my worries and wondered if we could go and purchase books from the bookshop downstairs - which we used to do for them. As it happens we couldn't do that, but our library supplier does fortunately have a limited supply of books in their warehouse and they sent me a list which I've sent onto the person at the community library so they can select enough of them so the the budget is spent.
Phew, wipes brow. Hopefully this won't look too terrible on my performance review, fingers crossed!
Anywho, tomorrow I have the day off, however I did stay at my apartment so I need to move my butt tomorrow morning to make sure I get to the parental abode by 7:30 am to let the washing machine man in. Also, they're turning off the water in my apartment building tomorrow so even if the man comes early I'll be sticking around until it's back on.
On a final note I spoke to the parental units who are leaving Italy in 20 hours and heading for home - via Perth so they won't arrive back until Friday evening. So that's pretty exciting! :OD I have to see if my little bro wants to pick them up from Manly - although if he does I'm supposed to drive him home (since he's been using one of my parents cars while they've been away).
Right on that note, I better run!
Ta-ta!
