Well, summer appears to have arrived this last week and, as per usual, it has arrived with an exclamation mark.
I've always found this a bit puzzling about the British weather, in that it suddenly seems to flip. A couple of weeks back I was regularly having to use my thick duvet cover and was dithering over whether to put my jumpers and tracksuits in the shed, and now I'm wandering about in shorts and a t-shirt.
Last weekend I actually broke out the air conditioner. I tried to avoid it on the Saturday, as it does obviously cost money to run and I don't have very much of that spare. However, Saturday night's sleep was terrible as it was too warm and so Sunday I had it on all day.
I used it again Monday and Tuesday after work, but then the rest of the week it's been a bit more tolerable and the evening more conducive to sleep.
It's meant to be really hot again this weekend, so I might have to wheel it out again, though actually there's a very good chance I'll have to be in work this weekend. The problem really is that I have a big bid that needs working on and I could have worked on it this week, but unfortunately a series of other bids needed me to fix them and that ate up all my time.
It's a shame really as I think the bid could represent a good general opportunity for the company, but it's kinda been received like a wet fart.
I find working where I do so frustrating. If I had a bit of spare cash I'd be back looking for a job, I think. Unfortunately money is so tight it makes it difficult - I'd need to buy some new smart clothes (trousers in particular) and then there would be the cost of travelling to the interviews, etc.
