I have an almost unprecedented EIGHT map jobs in my in-tray at the moment, and another seven on quote totally around £25K. Quite ridiculous.
And I've spent all day today doing none of them.
MYPOB is coming together. i am taking over invoicing from 1st Feb and have been setting up a system of "workflow" for the office to operate from that date.
As its been just the two of of us inthe past we have never really had a system, so Jo's arrival has focused our attention on streamlining procedures and generally becoming more bureaucratic. Paid her today for the first time - by cheque as I cannot get the figures to work out for the PAYE yet and need to talk to Paulley about this.
I'm a designer. What do I know??
I'm also the local shoulder to cry on it seems, and had an emotional scene in the church office on the way to work this morning.
Two women who cannot work together, both of whom share the vicar as their boss.
How good is the vicar (or any vicar) at being an office manager?
In my experience, vicars are generally "nice blokes" who are good at the listening, comforting, supporting role rather than the more ruthless dynamics of office and personnel management. And when your job is the church and your boss is the vicar, who do you talk to when it all goes pear-shaped?
Me it seems.
So C is in tears this morning on my shoulder, when P walks in who is a much better friend and generally nicer person. It now looks to her as if I have taken C's side in things, which is not the case at all. I just happened to walk in and find her in a state.
Do I need this?

Never mind, Cell meets this evening. All will be well
