stayed in bed? yep, well today was one of those for me! and it started out nicely (most days do - ben wakes up before me, leans over to say good morning to me, then offers to make a cup of tea for me, i doze whilst he's doing that, he brings me tea, has a shower, comes back to bed to say hi again, and finally i get up and shower)...
an uneventful trip to work - not even a queue to buy a ticket - bit of a bonus for a monday morning - should have known something was off!! almost immediately i got to work i knew i should have stayed home...
i got in just before 9am - this in itself is a major achievement for me on a monday morning, see i've NEVER been a morning person and the last few weeks i have not felt my best physically so i still find myself hitting 'snooze' over and over again until finally i look at the beautiful french clock on the wall nearest my bedroom windows and think that since the little hand is nearing 8am i really should get myself out of bed...
no sooner had i arrived at my desk (mp3 ear plugs still in, tea in hand and sneakers still on) my boss tells me to join him and some colleagues - my monday morning not so witty response is 'we don't have a meeting'...he glares at me, i glare back and eventually i sit down (begrudgingly...)
he goes into one of his panics (and this is his worst trait - and that's not bad as he has MANY many good ones and is generally a fabulous and down to earth boss) and basically tells us that our monday and tuesday has been hijacked by the most crappy non value administrative piece of work i am certain i have ever been asked to do...
so you can imagine my joy? two days of filling out spreadsheets which if people did their jobs correctly and were actually held accountable (have companies forgotten what that actually means?) would not need to be done...
so then i go off to my actual meeting (yep, i had a 9am that i was late for) and 30 minutes in his assistant (who is co-incidentally my best friend) calls me on my mobile to find out where i am - guess he thinks that i was pissed off enough to just go AWOL...
sooo you can just see the steam coming out of my ears now - so then the day kinda continues - lots of admin crap, not bad given my colleagues are also going thru the same shit - meeting with one of my staff which was probably the highlight of my day actually as when she told me about her weekend i felt bad for complaining! see her man lives in zimbabwe and we all now how dire a situation it is there right now...
so i return to work slightly encouraged and wishing that ben and i were beyond wealthy - by 11.30am i had serious thoughts of telling them to 'ram their job' but my down to earth practical and ultimately sensible self (some may call it boring) kept me there and thinking of all those shares that will be mine if i stick it out...for a couple more years!!!
then i finally leave (later than i would have liked which meant i didn't get to walk home - was too dark and cold) and happen to see myself side on in one of those train station mirrors and it confirms what i already knew: my arse is too fat! and i must quickly become intimate with either a diet, exercise plan or both...sob sob
so then i get to the train station - queue for a ticket is almost out the door (groan - is it always this busy when you just wanna get home?), finally get a ticket, am minding my own business and standing out of the way of station walkers when some rude fucker stands right in front of me, not only blocking the way so every person who now walks past bumps into me, but so he will also get onto the train before me and get my seat - you know the one i would have got if he hadn't pushed in front of me? dickhead...
so then i finally get home - all hot and bothered - ben and i do something of a debrief of my shit day, we get dinner sorted out and start on installing the new phones - landline broke a while ago so bought a new phone - 3 internal handsets so we can have a phone almost in every room - we can call each other from one handset to the other - oh dear!
it's all going well until i stand up, trip over a cable and pull the phone out of the wall breaking the socket as i do - is anything going to go right today i wonder?
well i guess it is: going to bed in a minute which is probably where i should have spent the entire day....thankfully when i get there ben will be there to give me a goodnight kiss - thank goodness for him xox
