Hi Dinny - yes I am at work.
I am well aware what work are obligated to do, they aren't as no one has gone been pg here before but thats not my fault and I will soon educate them . We do have a meeting room that I can always use to have a break in if I needed to I suppose. The thing is we are a small company, there are 4 of us up stairs in the office, 2 in the warehouse and 2 sales guys who come in once a month (they work from home) and the sales manger (my boss) who comess in twice a week. So basically its really the 4 of us upstairs, so we dont have the facilities of a big company.
I get in at 8.30 (well generally 8:45 but whos counting ) and pretty much sit at my desk till I leave which is technically 5 but for me its normally more like 6-6.30. Its me thats going to have to change, I will have to start leaving on time (I have pretty much this week) and I should probably take my lunch break. I suppose I am going to have to get used to not being able to work as hard or as long as I am used to, its more habit then anything else.
Also I always have far too much work and not enough time to do it in, somethign I think that may have to change. I am basically, Marketing and Advertising Manager/Assistant/Dogsbody, Trade Show Manager/Co-ordinator and Sales Support Manager/Executive/Administrator. That means I do everything from organising marketing campaigns, designing catalogue pages, writing editorials for trade press, organising (and attending) trade shows, writing quotations, sending samples, completing buying contracts, supporting the sales managers as well as all the shitty but essential sales support admin. There is so much going on that its hard to stay on top of things when you are feeling well, let alone at the moment! I think things are going to have to change a bit round here!
First due - booking classes, now thats brave!!!
