Mondays...urgh...
What an awful day...
I get to work at 8am expecting a somewhat normal day... what a mistake.
Tom gets in looking like a skeleton, barely able to move with the flu, so he goes home after half an hour. Understandable, no grudges there.
Steve, Mr. I'm a total cock that loves spotting aircraft and has a database of 40K aircraft tail numbers that he has personally logged, is due back from holiday today. He doesn't turn up... nice one, manager. Don't even bother calling in either. I'm beginning to want to jump over my desk and throttle him. Must keep myself in check...must keep myself in check...
I end up having the busiest day of my life, normally I could get my head down and get on with it without any bother, but this Steve is really making my blood boil. I can't wait until the first frost... he may slip on the concrete steps. No one saw a thing ;)
Yeah, so... shit day. I'm exhausted and pissed off with the whole work thing. I'll leave it at that.
On the up side (why are my days always split like this?!) lifes wonderful balance dealt me a platinum-plated card yesterday. An old friend Diana, who I have not heard hide nor hair of in some years (I've seen her once since I left college 10 years ago, yet we were very close friends) calls me up out of the blue and asks me if I want to go to a party on the 30th. Where, exactly, did that come from?!?! I'm over the moon, it transpires she moved up north for some years, then spent a load of time on a cruise ship, and now she is living 40 minutes away! We have vowed to remain in regular contact from now on. Isn't it weird, when something like that happens... She called up and her voice hit me like a wall, like a million memories suddenly came back from the depths of beyond. I didnt realise quite how much I've missed having her around until I heard her say hello. She is going to call this week and it looks like I may not have to wait until the 30th to see her. I just can't wait. One of the only people I can really talk to for long lengths of time has just waltzed back into my life..cool as a cucumber :)
