Old habits die hard

I’m slipping back into old habits….today my day has mainly consisted of planning my work around my social life and other far more pressing items. I think I have spent at least 80% of the day on non-work related matters. Part of this is down to it being a Friday (naturally), partly because I have very little to do and partly because I just can’t be arsed. Here we go again, falling into the abyss of doing jack-shit and watching my brain slide off the table….

Hopefully things will pick up again next week and I’ll get back into the swing of it. It’s Moody’s last day officially today but he’s off to New Zealand for 3 weeks and then coming back for a bit so unofficially it’s not. I have 70 odd quid burning a hole in my desk draw to go out and buy him something nice from the collection we had. No idea what to get him, probably end up being some wine. Ms Rigsby was delegated the collection duties because…ahem…I was busy and she’s also taken it upon herself to bring in a wine guide and some advice from her parents today! Well top marks for enthusiasm. And enthusiasm about wine? I like this girl more and more!

Anyhoo, with Moody out the picture that means I’ll be getting most of the work as CJ will probably be snowed in/working from home – sorry I mean “working form home”/off sick/having car problems/being generally retarded. So it’ll pick up and I’ll pick my ebbing brain back up of the desk and start to use it again.

Actually it’s been quite nice to get back to the doing nothing for a few days – as long as it doesn’t stick around.

Worries me this fervour for work, what is going on? Gunner has gone and got himself a laptop and Blackberry as well – WTF?! I can’t even remember the last time we went to the pub on a Friday – scandalous! Something must be done about this; I will get on to it next week and make it a priority. Perhaps a meeting should be called to discuss the ever increasing practice of work and the ever decreasing drinking at lunch time. I’m sure if I highlighted these issues then Gunner and Ginger and everyone would realise how serious it has become and immediately call an end to the meeting and head down the boozer. Tip top. Yes, I think its for the best.

Right, in the meantime my priorities lie with an enormous dish of lasagne in the Woking area so I must dash. Until Monday….
