A reasonable day....Worked something out.....
Work went relatively painlessly for me today. I think this is because I managed to keep myself quiet, and did not joke around as much as I normally do and make an idiot of myself. I've been thinking about the way I behave and have reached a conclusion. I make jokes/deliberately make a pratt of myself to appease people and make sure that I appear as being friendly/nice/not stuck up. There were times today when people said things to me, and I felt tempted to crack a joke or do something silly to avoid an awkward silence, or make the person I was talking to feel at ease. While I enjoy making people laugh and feel at ease around me, I can only afford to let the guard down to a few select friends, who will not use the "apparent weakness" I show to make a fool of me.
My day mainly consisted of reconfiguring laptops for councilors, which meant that despite being in the office all day, I did not have to spend the day answering the phone. I also had to go to the council chambers to fix a problem with a projector.
On another work related note, Wigford House, which used to be the main central office of the social services, is being turned into Student accommodation as of August next year. It really irritates me that Lincoln is centering its' self around catering for a bunch of second rate university students who will leave university with worse employment prospects than non-graduates - the average income for a Lincoln Uni Grad is 11 K a year.
Despite having had a reasonable time at work, the day was marred slightly on the way home, because some nob head kid rode past me on his moped (minus silencers) which deafened me. It really irritates me that pond life like this is able to subject me to such levels of noise on a regular basis (I hear mopeds going past the house all the time). This is the second Christmas I have spent down Newark Road, and will definitely be my last, I have promised myself that.
I have had a very unproductive evening which I feel bad about. I really need to get to grips with my course, and get some hard-core revision done. I'm having tonight off, as I am watching a programme about some bloke who faked winning the lottery, and conned friends, families, estate agents and bank managers alike.
My fitness regime is gradually improving, I have gone from being only able to manage 1 or 2 press ups at a time, to 7 in a go. Who knows, this time next month, I should hopefully be up to managing 15-20 at a time.
