Wednesday (6th Studio Album)

Not that Colchester is Manchester, but I've found the trips into town eeary, depressing and rather dystopian. My favourite pubs boarded up, shops with sad wilting 'see you soon' notes in the window and the pockets of life being the sound of delivery drivers and dying homeless people.

I went down the canal path instead, it was nice, and not as far.
 
I am still tempted to do it one day, maybe at the weekend so its even emptier.

So despite being on furlough I'm still getting DAILY calls from work, asking INANE bullshit.

I wouldn't mind if it was VITAL information, but it's mostly stuff that could be found in an e-mail with about 30 seconds of effort.

Today I was RUDELY AWOKEN at 11am to be asked if we were including shipping on an invoice or billing for it separately, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF LOVE, you do OWN THE COMPANY.

We were told If we're on furlough, under no circumstances are we to be contacted.

I mean we've all been in touch and have been helping people out who are working, but certainly no daily phone calls.
 
What an absolutely stunning day. The wind has gone and left just a slight breeze with the sun beaming down on us. Not quite bikini weather but ALMOST. :disco:
 
going for the second walk of the day. I clock in about 20k steps each day these days. I'm not sure I can go back to normal life...

Yep - I'm officially being furloughed as of today (but backdated to the 24th of March), and one of the conditions laid out is that we're not to undertake any duties of our role under any circumstances as it would violate the conditions of the furlough scheme.

I bet it’s been even worse since lockdown started.

How long are you being furloughed for?

I've been updating our Facebook page but otherwise I've not done any work.

I’m hoping the calls will die off, otherwise I will be having words :kim:

No idea! Apparently it has to be done in segments of three weeks or something?
 
Our building is being audited to see if we're being socially distant enough. I mean, how does that even work when the concept is a matter of weeks old? Who has the expertise? Or do they just have their own tape measure.

I think Pripyat has more going for it than Nuneaton, no offence to Nuneaton icons Larry Grayson, Mary Whitehouse and little Nicky Lyndhurst.

Mary Whitehouse was from THESE PARTS!

Well she DIED here and everyone of a certain age around here has a story about her (kind old lady mostly).

SMALL WORLD!

Yeah a minimum of 3 weeks apparently. We've been put on 4 weeks with an update expected the end of April.
 
Would you get a reduced jail sentence for murdering your partner who is working from home while you're on furlough?? Literally cannot cope with Mandy today.
 
I've got tomorrow and Friday off while Mr L is working from home. I predict 48 hours of quiet masturbation.

Good luck. Honestly we are 7 days in of being together 24/7. We only get a break from each other if we go exercise separately once a day. And Mandy and I are both pretty easy going people usually.

I'd have thought it would be the other way round! Several people have asked me why Mr Kate doesn't just move in with me. Have him sitting around on my sofa doing fuck all while I'm working 3 feet away? HELL FUCKING NO.
 
I’m surprised my flatmate hasn’t cracked at me yet. He works in insurance, so is doing 12 hour days and still found time to defrost the freezer this morning.

Meanwhile I’m getting up around 11, having a post lunch nap then spend the afternoon drinking wine on the balcony, and have been saying I’ll clean the bathroom tomorrow for a week now.

Oh I'd definitely have murdered you by now :D
 
Mr Ag has really upped his house work game. I appreciate this a lot. The state of my hands after doing the dishes each day.
