Done and Dusted

Well...on Monday am...had a chat with my direct line manager...he was quite happy to try any process the UPW team wanted to try and "if it doesn't work..goodbye"...I then told him it was easy for him to say as he wasn't the one who would get punched in the face if "it didn't work out"...there was a stand off...very disappointed....but he went to the Divisional Manager who was quite clear...he wanted none of his staff in that position....at the same time as UPW called to say they were withdrawing their funding as they "couldn't let their conscience allow them" as I was obviously anxious and that would cause problems..not of course....their client's fault or even their management practise...our side weren't worried about funding as there will be some lying around somewhere. So it is finally sinking in...no more UPW/CSO!!! What a thought. I am now off on a weeks annual leave so it seems to be right....a chapter closes and another opens...so we shall see. I am sniffling and I haven't been well tummy wise...but I think it is a culmination of all the stress and fatigue...slowly ebbing away.....phew....time to take it easy today I think...but what a result!!! The Edinburgh still has not sold and there are no new viewings...hhmmmm....keep the faith...it has always worked over the years. Done and done.

Sunday Sunday

Well...not overly impressed with this high level meeting...I think they expected me to simply go..yeah...great idea...please can we start again....they never really referred to the report although their plan was based on it...there is a definite difference in perspective from those in the office and those on the ground...we have formulated a plan but there are no guarantees...the "no guarantees" means I am under threat...being told you will be sworn at as if it really I nothing to be concerned about....shocking really...it is accepted by the system....which is the whole point..I should not have to accept this....and why I did not....what they completely swept aside was the menace and the physical intimidation that goes with it...reporting back at the office...really?...another way of saying to accept it on the ground...not impressed...so I need to speak to Ian on Monday...expect nothing really....weak weak weak...but let's see. Fixed price on the Edinburgh flat has brought in 2 viewing last week....one a definite no...the other no response....we shall see....going in the right direction but lower than 90K I cannot go!!...stick with it for a few weeks...as long as the rain doesn't do its worst. I have just figured out I have not stopped working in one form or another for 2 weeks...how did that happen?!!! Blimey...feel tired but ok...plans for today...cancelled....tv...music....reading...resting...or I am going to be unwell. Done and done.
