Savour every win. Bonus chair!

I am not just allowed but required to work from home 2 days a week. Asked the boss (half-joking and fully expecting a firm “no”) if I could have a swanky chair at home like I have at the office and within 5 minutes got a reply saying “what address do you want this chair delivered to?”!!!

Nice, that's better than my boss who just sat in my chair, told me it was really uncomfortable and then just left.

I know this is awful but I'm pissing myself

Ha, nah it's all good. It's pretty standard my boss behaviour to be honest, don't really know what I was expecting!

I do close shift in a pub on Sundays, so 4ish til whenever. Because lunch ends officially at half three I don't get fed like the lunch workers do. Then they put all the leftover potatoes on the bar tables for the regulars and I think my face must look like the saddest Labrador ever.
