Blow

Today has been windier than the conference room at a curry convention. One of our neighbours is obsessed with weather and he informs me his anemometer registered 62 mph this afternoon. I was quite glad it’s been too rough to go outside, as I had to spend a few hours on the computer for work today. It’s my own fault, so I can’t complain. I should have finished this particular project by Wednesday, but I was too busy wallowing in a minor depression, so I lied to my superiors about having a staffing issue at one of the garages, and they agreed to extend my deadline until Monday. The bloody info will probably just get filed away on a hard drive somewhere and never even looked at, but I suppose asking me to do it justifies someone’s salary somewhere, so it had to be done.

Not been too bad, though. Mostly facts and figures and a few bits of data interpretation. Not exactly what I had in mind as a fun way to spend a Saturday, back when I was finishing off at uni, but that’s the modern world I guess. You have three choices with things you don’t like – accept them, get away from them or take drugs to help you endure them. With work issues I find it best to just get on with it, do as they ask, and then find nice ways to spend the money they give you for putting up with it all. With that in mind, I’m about to go shopping on eBay.
