Easy weekend I guess. Nice night in yesterday although some of the lads online were having a games reunion and I missed it. I was originally going to be there in person but our main organiser decided that with it being this close to Christmas it'd just be easier for us all to meet online and play on the public servers like we usually do. It's Counter Strike:Source for anyone who's interested. The lads had a good time I had a bit of a natter with Aid this afternoon who I've hardly spoken to for a couple of years due to this and that so not a total loss.
The rest of this weekend has been spent putting up J's staircase so he can get up to the balcony in his room and use his PC. I set up my old microphone so we can talk to each other while we're sat in our seperate places. Once I've got his pc a little more upgraded it'll be better for him. In it's current state it's only really good enough to handle basic games and internet stuff. No good for the kind of games I usually play online but hopefully that'll change soon. :)
I'm not looking forward to this week as I've got a battle on my hands with work and my bonus total. I had 3 days off work the week before last due to a chest infection (bad cough really but you always beef it up don't ya) but when I got my bonus summary on Friday it showed that I was 3 days pay down which meant I hadn't been paid for my time off sick. Naturally annoyed at this I called Wages and they said I had to get a doctors note to back up my claim and then I'd be paid. I called the doctor and was told that by law my company has to accept a Self Certification notice as it covers the first 7 days off sick. I called back into work to let them know this and they then tell me that even though the doctor IS right, the new company policy states that they won't accept Self Cert forms if you've already exceeded your 5 days sick leave (as I have) in the financial year. Pisser! Doc is refusing to write a note as that's what the Self Cert is there for, and work is refusing to accept anything but a doc's note. So just because they can't agree I lose out on 3 days pay which puts my quarterly total in minus figures and I go down a pay-band in January, losing out on £200 a month. SHITE! I was only just in minus figures before this and was on the way to putting myself back in a decent position before the end of the quarter. Now thanks to the company policy I'm completely fucked unless of course I can try and convince the doctor to write a note, or convince the muppets at HR that their new policy is, in this case, flawed. Wish me bloody luck!
