At the moment I am off work for a few weeks.  It sucks, and I feel like a total arsehole but I guess I need to accept my limitations. Going back to a 40 hour week after 9 years of being a housewife, ok… might have been able to manage if it wasn’t something too busy or stressful. Going back …

Today I was in a great mood at work, which was pretty remarkable considering it was a Monday.   On my lunch break I started realizing the world was working against me. No, that’s a lie, I really started noticing it on Saturday. We were leaving our flat and the sun was shining.  I commented as we were walking out of …

I’ve been working at my current company now for almost three months and I’m finally reaching the point where I feel I have a decent grasp on what we do, which makes for a welcome change.   There is a lot to learn and for the first month I felt quite confused and came home every day feeling completely drained.   I’m …

Ever since I’ve gone back to work, one of the hardest things to deal with has been leaving Bailey home alone.   He’s my baby!  Leave me alone, I know it’s sad!  For the past five years he’s had me by his side all the time and suddenly he’s being left all alone.  Look at that face, doesn’t it break your …

Today at 5:40pm we were told that we were going to have tomorrow off as well as Monday.   While some colleagues were complaining about how they wished they’d had more notice to make plans, I was thinking ‘Oh Yessssss!’. Four whole days to sit at home if I want to, knit if I want to, not wear nice shoes if …

After having been back to work for the past 2 months, one thing I’ve not had a lot of is me time.  Something I’ve had nothing but for the past 8 or so years.   I get up in the morning and have to deal with the pets (feeding, walking) and then am off to work.  I get home and I’m …

Yeah, well all hope of it just being allergies is gone out the window.   I went to work this morning feeling slightly crap and by the end of the afternoon I was downright miserable. I can’t stop coughing, my throat hurts, I’m sneezing my brains out and am full of snot.   Those aren’t even the worst bits though.  The fucking …

Although this winter hasn’t been nearly as bad for me mentally as other winters have been in the past, I’m still really excited to see signs of spring coming, like this blue sky out the window at work yesterday. The temperatures have been going up slightly and the sun is starting to show itself more and more.   I love it!  …

One (more) thing I love about where I work is the view.   On the 10th floor in the middle of the city, I can see quite a lot.   So if I have a minute it’s nice to watch people out and about doing their thing.   It’s also nice when the sun is going down and we all know it’s almost …

Today I crashed our payroll database at work… oops!!   I won’t get into how one manages to do that but it’s not that difficult, I mean I managed to do it easily enough!   I was a bit worried when my colleague told me I had done it, but then all the girls in my department cheered and told me that …

After me making that post about the Tammy Cold (scroll down I can’t be arsed to link it)… this morning at 4am I woke up sneezing and blowing snot all over the place.   I had to leg it to the bathroom to get tissues, then got back in bed and sneezed my brain out for another while.   Just long enough …
