2018 DIARY WEEK FORTY ONE 08/10 -- 14/10

Starting another week with Monday off, had hoped to use these days for interviews but sadly that's not happening at the moment so will see what we can do instead. If nice day I need to pop out, and bring back some lunch, maybe catch up on some admin and have a tidy around try and empty some of these drawers really. Nothing exciting, and no money to get me through the coming weeks so will have to be careful as usual. It's possible that the next month or two could see some improvement and I want to have funds away for next year although that does feel like a long way off to really be confident that it can happen. 
Written up plenty this week with racing at Pontefract almost coming to a close for the season, another fixture at Kempton on the Wednesday and then it's back to the football including the NFL games at Wembley which begin this coming Sunday when Oakland Raiders entertain Seattle Seahawks. This match is live on BBC on Sunday night so that will give me something to do later before another week of work. 

Speaking of work, and they've moved what remains of the IT team and the Content delivery team into the middle of the office, not gone down too well amongst the troops but I just crack on and keep busy for now. 

Earlier in the week I had a nice surprise with an unexpected phone call and chat with an old School friend Stephanie Norton (now Steffi Lee) called her back as she was waiting for her youngest son Charlie in Sandown (IOW) and had a near two hour chat about life. Really nice evening as well given I am usually afraid of making phone calls. Will see if this develops at all but maybe that's me jumping to conclusions. We have a planned Tarot reading later which might be interesting and another long phone call later in the week too which was nice. 

Met up with Ken (my old boss) and found out that another two are leaving, Chester (Finance) and Christina (Marketing) seems to be a high turnover of staff but not many coming in other than more sales people. Frustrating stuff have looked and applied for a few more jobs on Friday night. At least survived another week.
