    I think that’s the trick… go on a Monday. So lucky to have a view like that just opposite the place.

    Ahhh how the stress just disappears.

    Shame they won’t give me garden leave. I think I’ll have another day in the city tomorrow lol

    Was nice being out and about around people. Just sat down every hour or so and took out the laptop to check for any messages.

    Hot water fixed, yay. Now running through the usual “yes, I already tried that, as I mentioned in 3 separate emails” gauntlet to get dishwasher people to get someone out to fix it or organise a replacement… can’t be arsed going back into the office after working from home while the plumber was here. I had lunch and don’t feel like talking to anyone. Too late in the day to do any local site visits either. mehhhh

    Manager knows that I’m waiting for a job offer and has indicated that I should take leave before the new role.

    Currently on secondment and he’s kind of said to plan on not coming back.

    Apparently I have excess leave and this solves a problem for him.

    Okay then.

        They’re looking at cutting roles regardless. Our programme is coming to an end, so if anyone leaves before their contract ends, they just won’t replace them.

        With the announcement last week, there is a bit of a scramble. My vacant role can be canned, meaning someone else won’t be made redundant.

        In my team there are three others doing similar work to mine, so my workload can easily be spread amongst them.

        I get leave loading when I take leave, so end up getting a bit more. And I’m moving to another gov dept, so all my entitlements carry over.

        Considering I’ve got shit ton of leave, it works in everyone’s favour.

    smashes paint

    Aht

    https://youtu.be/TNB3XY67Q-I

    I put down some of the Born olive green and tried to match it with a limited palette of Anko paints. It’s not identical but if you look at the palette knife (used to mix) and the centre colour put directly on the swatch it’s kinda close

    I should wait and see if it darkens when it dries.

    Edit: I had cleaned the knife but scraped from the rapidly drying pile for a better comparison. It looks a little cooler (and like a gross paste) but not miles off

      looking good 🙂

      so this is what I did to test the colours of a water colour palette , I’m not up to mixing colours yet. I can barely do a good wash.

        The colour dried way darker than it looked when wet so I don’t know what I’m gonna do about trying to match :( I’m not really going through anything in an organised way. Just figured I’d give it a go.

        That looks really neat
