Oh, I didn’t get to share this the other day.

So on Friday I knew my team leader wouldn’t be there for most of the day. Brilliant, cause it means I can cruise through the day just getting stuff done.

Except for one thing - this other lady in my “team”1 thinks she has the right to micromanage me. Just try me and see where that gets you.

Lunch time comes and I go off without a word to anybody. I was meeting up with some mates that I wasn’t able to catch up with before I left this week. 75 minutes goes by and I’ve walked back in, booted up my PC2. This is the conversation after I sat down:

Pseudo team leader: “And where have you been?”
Me: “Lunch, with mates”

I was going to add something like ‘Got a problem with that?’ Or ‘What business is it of yours?’ but I didn’t. I kept my guts knowing I didn’t have long until my contract was finishing.

This is a lady who arrives 2 hours at least after I get there of a morning and watches the clock as I leave. And also has no right to question my work ethic.

Being at this place has definitely been an experience.


  1. I use that word very loosely here cause I’m basically working on my own

  2. It shuts down after 20 minutes
