Well Fuck...

It's been a prick of a week. I think in the scheme of things it wasn't that bad, but I've been sick for the last two weeks. Not the whole 'can't get out of bed throwing up your hole' sick. Just stuffed up nose, which leads to a headache and a cough that just won't piss off.

But it means I was still well enough to go to work. Now don't get me wrong. I love my job. It really is a good job. Public service. We're well looked after. Every minute of overtime we do is later redeemed for flex time off. Really couldn't ask for a better job given my [lack of] experience and education.

But lately work has been an absolute prick. We would normally have six staff and a team leader. But with two people off on maternity leave, one person off on unpaid leave and one person off on annual leave, we're down to two people (and the team leader). I've never worked so hard in my life. And this is the fifth week running that we've been doing it like this.

Coupled with the fact that I can't shake this head cold, it's a real recipe for what you might call a prick of a time. Add to the mix this downright arsehole customer I had Friday a week ago, which put me on the defensive for the week just gone, and you have unhappy blogger. I have been coming home from work and just flaking. I literally come home, get the boy in the bath, the missus gets dinner ready (really don't give a rats arse what she cooks this week. Just happy that she's providing me something I can stick in my mouth with minimal effort.) and then sit in front of the tele until Big Borther ends and then straight to bed. It's just lucky for me the pillows are soft cos I don't even have time to lay my head on them before I fall asleep.

Feeling a little better this morning, but I had a few beers last night so I have a headache. Yeah these days I literally only have two or three beers and I get a hangover. Well I had four last night. That's like a regular binge session for me now. Just waiting for the panadols to kick in so I can start the Saturday morning routine of tidying up the house and washing the clothes.

The illness has given me a reason excuse not to get onto the weights, so I am gonna try to get a session in this afternoon and restart the routine. I believe the missus wants to go test driving this morning. Well she better drag her butt out of bed if she wants to have a decent whack of time to do so. Anyways the playstation updates should be installed by now. Think I will go have a look at what new stuff is available at the online store and by then the panadols should have worked their magic. Besides, staring at this screen is not doing me any favours. Catchas.
