    Miserable Monday

    Since my last Monday attempt to make the world a happier place failed and resulted in a huge negative reputation hit for me, maybe this is more in keeping with the mood.

    ARSE. IT'S BLOODY MONDAY AGAIN!

    It's cold, dark, wet, miserable and the last Monday before the clocks change and make it even worse. With nothing to look forward to except trick-or-treat terrorists and all night poxy fireworks. But this is work and what are the bastards going to do to grind us down this week?

    Got any plans you don't want ruined? Any deadlines that mustn't be missed - but you're depending on someone else? Given up caring already? Thinking how to spoil someone else's day - or have you started already? Contractors' coffee pot smell like a permie pissed in it on Friday? Not got the extension? Waiting for the outcome of having been caught taking a pencil from stationery? Got a some new kit being delivered that'll come without the USB lead / drive rails / mounting bolts / CD key? Wishing you could have more time off with the sprogs? Or just utterly miserable to be commuting just to sit at ClientCo meetings listening to bollocks from ***kers and doing pointless activities for the ungrateful? While trying to compensate for the misery by eating poor quality, tepid, greasy tulipe from the works canteen?

    Or are you doing something really uplifting and special like going to the Job Centre to sign on?

    As I am avoiding my own personal bunny boiler I am actually happier at work this Monday morning! I had nightmares of my cat getting deep fried. That says something!

      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            do with a spare from the kitchen.

              It's a sunny blue sky here. I've not been out yet so I don't know if it's cold or not.

              I like Mondays; especially the morning. I generally don't have any new problems to face and the punters won't be around for hours. It's good for getting things done.
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    What a fitting start to the first week of bench time for me.
