running fairly well at the moment. Apart from Kat deciding that she doesn't want to work at present, so a visit to the vet is on the cards.
We had good news in work this week. Yesterday an old customer announced that they were returning, providing they don't deal with my colleague. Then today a new customer announced that they were so impressed with our trial that we would be getting the rest of their shipments. That is two big gains this week.
My colleague is annoying other people in the office and doesn't realise how difficult he can be for others to work with. I don't think that there anyone who is not looking forward to his retiring next year. It is a horrible thing to say, and feel, as he is such a nice guy. Yet we're all looking forward to him being off next week.
