Great start to the day!
It's been a pretty awful start to the day at Gazette House - infact it's nothing short of a nightmare.
The new reporter who was due to start today as a replacement for Tom Parnell has left a message to say they have had a better job offer elsewhere and therefore will not be joining us.
So, that's a whole month wasted in recruiting a replacement and leaves the newsdesk desperately short of staff at a particularly busy time. There are words I could use to describe my anger at their actions in not starting today - but this is a family blog!
And if things could not get any worse our production editor has injured his knee and can't get into work on our busiest production day in Uxbridge, with deadlines to meet for a large number of the other titles we produce out of Gazette House.
That means I will have to step in and lend a helping hand and put all my other plans for the day on hold for the time being.
On a more positive note this week's Gazette is a cracking paper - and as I said yesterday the best overall edition we have produced this year. So, at least I have something to smile about at the moment!
