Guild Council Meetings & Other Wastes Of Time...

Four and a half fucking hours of my life generally wasted listening to a bunch of people bickering over largely minor issues. It's like a bad soap opera - only even worse because you can't change the channel halfway through. Undoubtedly there are some issues covered which are of importance to me and to the Guild in general and some of the leaving speeches from the Sabs were vaguely amusing but generally it's 4.5 hours I'd rather have spent in TC's.

On the plus side I only have to attend one, maybe two more of them before my tenure as Station Manager is up and I hand over to some poor unfortunate sucker who'll have 8 lovely tedious meetings to go to. Of less tedium was the Board Of Management Meeting - a mere hour long - which primarily consisted of Antonia and I trying to shrug off hangovers while the BoM told us how great we were and how we were being let down by other people outside of our control. They also had free coffee and biscuits - the former being an excellent help in curing the hangover and the latter being a very bad idea as it made me feel quite ill.

Looking forward, because frankly I've been looking back in anguish far too much recently, I have a few days "off" now until Monday. Monday should be fun, I have to be in uni at 9 to start work painting the studio; then there's the meeting with the Guild marketing department at 11, followed by returning to the painting until 4, when Antonia has her dance lesson and I'll probably bugger off home. Tuesday is going to be spent wiring up the new second studio, wednesday is back to painting the studio for a second coat, thursday is more wiring and friday is more painting - if it's needed.

Meh.
