That's the plan, anyway

There is a company-wide staff survey going on. My "additional comments" were coherent and polite, but means more or less the same thing as the coworker who'd used the term "managerial meatbag" several times, or so he told me. I've also ticked the yes box for "are you seriously considering leaving the company within the next twelve months?"

I'm trying very hard to get interesting work for my team, but people keep getting in the way. They giveth me the cheapest staff in the whole office, then taketh them away when they have work because my team's the cheapest and their authority is greater than mine/their projects are apparently more important than mine. Who the heck am I supposed to use then? At my chargeout rate, I can kill these projects if I do them all myself because they are so small and the fees are so tight. The junior staff look at me with that "help, management wants me to do fucking data entry" face and I'm like, "I know, I've got this neat little design thing for you to do BUT THEY WON'T LET ME USE YOU." T_T

So. I've picked the flat I want to buy. The next step is to make an offer, but I can't do it until Thursday because the place is offplan and the sales office is closed Tues/Weds. Which means I'm making an offer after today's budget announcement. It might be a good thing.

I think something like 15% people who completed our annual staff survey said they were thinking of looking for work elsewhere. Personally, with the budget cuts looming, I'm surprised that snr management haven't asked for their names. Meantime, I have no shortage of interesting work. Or at least difficult work (but nobody actually wants that because it's HARD).

Building survey on the house I'm buying tomorrow, results next week...I'm having serious thoughts about using some of my savings to pay for a pitched roof to be put on the extension, which is not something I ever expected to have any thoughts about, ever.
