On Challenging Months at Work

I have had a miserable few weeks.* I've been supervising some building work in the secure area which has been both isolating and unproductive (on some strands of my job, it's been very productive on the Facilities Management part of my job**), and has involved three weeks of being at the office at dawn. I've then caught a horrible cold (definately a cold says 4 COVID tests).

Work continues to be busy and will be so for another month.***

However, after that work should be calmer until Christmas, I may have some work trips which are actually good fun, with potential visits to Bristol and London.

And more importantly both my dad and my mum appear to have improved medically.

*Not really miserable in the grand scheme of things.

** But I don't actually consider that part of my job, just a hobby I do in between being thwarted doing my actual job.

*** Yes, this will suck, no, there's nothing that can be to make it any better, yes, I've spoken to people about this, it is just part of what happens when you work in a small company - it is why they pay me the big bucks.

I have someone in my team at work who doesn't consider the various incoming distractions we have as really part of his job. With the result that we get to 4pm and he says "I haven't even gotten started yet" and then keeps working until he has done enough of his "real" job to feel like he's made some progress.
