Well, what an interesting day has been had today!
I had a meeting on at work today that was supposed to start at 830 and finish at 500 offsite. So I rocked up, in plenty of time as usual, and wondered why, by 825 I had only seen the CEO and XCOM members wander in in formal dress. It turns out that an email went out late yesterday saying that the purpose of the day had changed, as had the start time (to 9am) and we should come in work uniform. So there is me, ready to start at 830 in casual clothing.......great!!
The day changed to everyone being informed of a business changing project that is being undertaken. I am actually a team member on the project and had to sign a privacy agreement 2 weeks ago, so I was already aware of it. But today they announced it to the leadership group. I also got to meet the CEO - not bad considering I have now worked there for 6 months!!
As a result of this project, I have proposed going full time for the next 3 months and then assess my hours again. It is going to be full on and although exciting is a little daunting too.
Turns out that going full time for a few months is not such a bad thing financially. I sat down and had a good hard look at the budget this evening and it looks like both of us working 3 days a week on the same salary that I am on now is not going to sustain us long term. So one of us probably needs to work full time, or both of us 4 days or some other mixture. It is very timely as MrJ has an interview on Thurs and has been contacting other about jobs today. So at least he knows what he should be aiming for salary/time wise.
Since I still left early this morning, I spent some time wandering around the gardens at the Burswood to get some photos. I have a new entry for this weeks challenge of "Animals" (below) and todays Project 365 shot is above.
