Subjects are hard
Aug. 25th, 2020 04:44 pmThis morning seemed to run away from me. It was suddenly lunchtime without me feeling like I'd really got anything done at all. Fortunately I had a more productive afternoon. I finally managed to get my mailbox sorted out which has made me feel so much better. I'd dealt with everything that had come in but I hadn't managed to do all my filing. Got my inbox reduced from 263 emails to 47. Phew.
Just before my boss's 2 weeks off a member of staff handed in their notice. He's the first person to leave since we started working from home and recruitment is something I'm responsible for so we're having fun. Not only do we have to figure out the logistics of interviewing people remotely but we have a new HR system which still doesn't work properly so we're having to wrangle that as well. At the moment my boss is the only one who can view vacancies and applications and since she handed recruitment over to me a couple of years ago that's not exactly ideal.
Hopefully it'll all work out. I had a nice chat with our two external recruiters today which was novel because I haven't spoken to either of them since February. The first guy I spoke to opened with 'Hi, how's the pandemic treating you' and we had a laugh about that. The woman I spoke to lives in Greater Manchester and says they've had to go back into lockdown which is a bit worrying.
Still, work is back to ticking along nicely and I'm enjoying only having to do my own job and not my boss's as well.
Fandom stuff is also ticking along. Didn't get any writing done yesterday evening because k-pop stuff was happening and apparently this is now my life. BTS released a b-side video to their new single which is all outtakes. It's really fun and I actually prefer it to the official video.
I also read a really interesting article about language and racism which prompted some discussion on Twitter. By the time I was done with all that it was time for dinner.
I only had time for one episode of Lost Tomb because after I was done eating I had a fun time browsing my music collection to find songs for![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
naye. I still think I'm on track to get finished at the weekend though. ![[twitter.com profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
MadamoiselleBon have agreed we're going to try and get to the point where we can watch episodes 31 and 32 together on Saturday before we watch some more of the dumb Yibo with superpowers show.
I think it's telling that I'm not livetweeting as much as I did when they were exploring tombs and destroying cultural artifacts. I did a few last night but not as much as usual.
