Work's hard enough, but as for the gym.....
Well it's been a while since I have updated my blog, but I've been rather busy!! (Thou does't protest too much)
I guess it goes without saying, that it is with great regret (to me anyway!) I inform the world that I did not win the lottery, and I am unfortunately writing this blog from my desk at work, and not from a beach in Barbados! Oh well, you can't win them all!
So, work-wise it has been getting better of late. Last week I actually, dare I say this, quite enjoyed work for the first time in a long time. This week is unfortunately slipping back to the brink as I have to do more "accounting"! And I'm still not quite gelling with my boss - I'm not sure that he likes me! Oh well, I can live with that as long as he doesn't sack me!! Still, maybe that would be the kick up the backside I need?
Met up with a guy from an agency last night, and I practically greeted him with "I hate accounting and want a change of career", to which he replied "ahh, unfortunately we only deal with accountancy jobs". Great start!! I'm sure one day I'll decide what I want to do!!
As for away from work, I must start with a Thank You. Thanks to the mindless junkies who decided to break into my car at the weekend, causing hundreds of pounds of damage, not to mention completely ruining my weekend. Actually, when it comes to ruining my weekend, I have to thank the police for that, who managed to respond in double quick time - a mere 26 hours after I first telephoned to report the break in. Now before I get on my high horse and tell you what a rubbish job they are doing, I'll refrain and say that the majority of Police Officers are, I'm sure, highly conscientious officers who want to cut crime. Unfortunately, the system is against them, be it the law or merely the administration and call handling. For now I'll just put in an official complaint, and save that fight for another day.
So I've joined a gym now - which is *$%^&£% hard work!! It's not as easy as it once was, but as I've promised to once again run a half marathon (this time in the much more idyllic setting of Mansfield, rather than the Thailand countryside), then I'd better pull my finger out and get fit. This too was interrupted by the same mindless youngsters who broke into my car, as they also managed to steal my gym bag containing my trainers, sweaty clothes and heart rate monitor. All I can say is that I hope when they got round to opening the bag, that smell was that vile it knocked them out cold!
Right, back to work for me now, then off to the gym tonight - it's gonna get worse before it gets better!!
