Good things come to she who waits

So, HR have finally (only took FOUR months) assessed my new JD and have agreed it's a grade 7.  Now I just need to gather the evidence that I'm working towards it and, therefore, worthy of being regraded.  I was just reflecting on when I started this process (TWO line managers ago) - it's taken about 7 years to get to this point.  I'd be nearly at the top of the grade if I'd been able to get people to take some notice at the start.  I was reflecting with the rector on how I've very rarely encountered explicit sexism and she pointed out that getting the regrade probably wouldn't have taken so long if I was a man.  But who knows?

Otherwise, a pretty unremarkable week.  Oh, I added two stories to 70x700 - only 9 to go!  Plus two 'bonuses' - Starting and Finishing.  Starting will answer the question I get all the time - where do you get your ideas from?  (The answer is, I don't - they get me!)  Finishing will be a reflection on the process of putting the whole thing together.

My new net curtains have arrived but I'm not putting them up until I've cleaned the windows, which I will do on the bank holiday.

Oh, and I've finally managed to book my vaccinations.  I thought I'd booked just one but, of course, you can't book just one - doh!  The real problem was booking the second one because it always wanted to send me to somewhere miles and miles away that would probably take all day to get to.  Then I hit a wall with being able to find any appointments for the first one!  But somehow, yesterday morning, I hit some kind of sweet spot where I managed to get both appointments at the same location that is within a reasonable distance.  First one is next Wednesday.

Right, time to get on with this day.  Bye for now, DW
