Yuck

I have to do an online seminar today that I am not looking forward to at all. It's pointless, it's a waste of my time when I could be doing something much more worthwhile, and it's being led by someone who is less qualified and experienced than I am, but has somehow convinced a consultancy firm to hire him, and somehow convinced my boss he is worth paying to sit in his bedroom at home and lead a seminar via Zoom.
Gavin got a bug up his bum about CPD and ongoing training and all that bollocks, so now I have to commit to doing some additional hours of 'informational education' and this is the first part of it. It's entitled "Smiling Sharks - How To Be Outwardly Charming But Inwardly Ruthless" or something similar. Sounds like an utter pile of otter wank and I would rather sit here slowly having my feet sewn together than have to go through it; but go through it I shall.
In other news, the continental-style Spring seems to have deserted us, leaving us with yet another British-style season, complete with overcast skies and plenty of drizzle. Honestly, as soon as Meteorological Summer officially arrived, we had to get back to this old shite - greyer than a greylag goose and damper than a sailor's sock. I am thinking of resetting my laptop to display the 'crackling log fire' screensaver that I use to get me through Winter...
