Today
has been a delight. It helped that the weather was a bit warmer. Very breezy but
it wasn’t a cold wind so it almost (almost!) felt like late Summer, rather than
the Autumn/January feel we had yesterday. It
only struck me today (about six weeks after I got my promotion) that I no
longer have to work weekends! If there’s a cataclysmic emergency I might have
to drag myself in somewhere, but in theory everything should be under the
auspices of the ‘Senior Staff Member’ (I’m still not sure of the workforce
layout, even though I’m running it) so they’ll get a call before me, especially
if it’s just a staffing issue. Several times since becoming a Filling Station
Manager I’ve had to haul myself in at short notice because someone was ill. Not
any more!
My
mood has also been improved by the return of the NFL. New season started on
Thursday, with the first full round of games happening today! Unfortunately I
won’t be able to return to my occasional habit of sitting up all night watching
the 1am game, but that’s a small price to pay really. I’m currently cleaning my
car while listening to the pre-match build-up on TalkSport2, so life couldn’t
be much better. Well – unless I had someone else cleaning my car for me, but I
refuse to pay £7 just to have someone wipe a cloth over my bumpers. Things
might also be better if I had a gorgeous wife indoors currently cooking me a
roast tea…. Which I do, so life is bloody dandy and rosy!
