The First Line Is A Paradox

Work is beginning to get very busy, but strangely enough, also much easier. They put up the Christmas schedules on the notice board, and my name is conspicuous by its absence with effect from Friday 18th December. I am into my final four weeks of supermarket employment and there is light at the end of the tunnel! They’ve been trying very hard to get me to stay into the New Year, as they need as many capable hands on board as possible, but I’m afraid they’ll have to rely on scummy careless temp staff, like what I was last year. (The ‘scummy, etc’ comment was a direct quote from a manager, by the way, not my personal reflections on those involved in temporary employment) I don’t see why I should ruin my own yuletide festivities just because they’re too busy to cope, and too tight to hire enough staff to cover it.
Sorry if this is all a bit rambly and incoherent, I’m buzzing from too much caffeine and my fingers are finding it hard to keep up with my thought processes, and I can’t be bothered to check and edit this so it’ll just be posted as-it-is when I’m finished, regardless of grammatical errors or abandonment of language structure.
I wonder if I can get funding to carry out research based on the correlation between caffeine intake and ability to communicate effectively?
I need to lie down now, I have a headache.
