Cows Can Kill

A day of two halves

Today started off so well. The sun was streaming through the curtains and a nice cup of coffee got the day kicked off and it really felt like it was going to be a most splendid of days. A trip up to the new Morrisons superstore (after Safeway closed 5 days ago) revealed a much nicer store with a whole host of new goodies. Will take me a while to sample them all, as is my public duty.

After a spot of lunch the blind man came. That's a bloke from Hillarys Blinds rather than a visually challenged member of our society. He measured up the bedroom window for a nice set of blinds which should be with me in about 10 days or so. Was initially wanting a set of wooden Venetian blinds, but my windows are too big (height wise) and the blinds would be too heavy, so instead wood effect aluminium ones were ordered.

And then things take a turn for the worse. Since I did sweet FA yesterday, I decided I really should do some work. At the moment I have absolutely no interest in what needs done, and as a result no motivation to do anything at all. So 1hr30 of painful work resulted in some trivial changes that should have taken no longer than 10 minutes in total.

At this point I then hear from da' boss who delivers some not-very-good* news about work. (*This may be an understatement). I then came very close to flinging my laptop through the window when I got over pissed off with a simple SQL Query that wasn't working.

So now I'm really pissed off, with piles of really dull work to do and absolutely no motivation. From starting off as a good day, it has deteriorated rapidly to a truly shitty day. Moo.

Could be worse. You could be chained to a desk in an office full of fuckwits 9-5, getting paid peanuts for a job you detest...

Ha, and I thought you had caught myxamotisis!
And you were going to be blind as an ill rabit.

You could always buy me beer, I'm sure that will cheer you up :)

Failing that why don't you do the honorable thing and strangle your boss?
