I deeply and regretfully apologise.
Dc2 has a birthday next week and a birthday party.
I would like to propose job interviews 3 days before Christmas and uni assignment deadlines just after Christmas for the list. Especially combined and along with aforementioned birthday child.
Because we all know that no assignment work will happen over Christmas so it needs doing now. But job interview prep needs doing now (don't actually want it to F off because brilliant role and opportunity and I'm absolutely thrilled to have got an interview). But as well as job interview prep Christmas prep needs doing. But also birthday cake and party prep needs doing. But I'm still at work and don't finish until Christmas Eve.
