Shock News- Happy Horse is a bit sad today.
*Whickers to all my Furriends*
I'm a bit sad today. Those of you who have been keeping up with this horse's life will know that about a year ago I went on a fabulous sabbatical/secondment which returned me to working directly with my beloved horses. It was a great five months.
That sabbatical started on 28 January 2008. Today is the anniversary of its starting, and today I am stuck in the office, doing the normal mundane things, and pondering the fact that for five months last year I was happier in my work than I have ever been, fitter than I have been for a long time, and even went to bed at sensible times, not trying to eek out the last minutes of my precious free evenings.
I know that I was lucky to have the opportunity, generously granted by my workplace. I know I couldn't hack working seven days a week with one day off in eight; for one thing it would seriously hamper my Furmeet attendance. I also know it would be difficult to tolerate an approximate halving of salary! And I know that people have to face much, much worse things, especially in the current economic climate (which we have of course talked ourselves into, in my opinion).
But I'm still a bit sad. Emo post from Blacksnip. Strange, eh? What is the world coming to?
Oh well.
In happier news, I have obtained household clearance to go to Eurofurence!
