Relax, Have a Puppy!

At the moment I am off work for a few weeks.  It sucks, and I feel like a total arsehole but I guess I need to accept my limitations.
Going back to a 40 hour week after 9 years of being a housewife, ok… might have been able to manage if it wasn’t something too busy [...]

Catching On…

I’ve been working at my current company now for almost three months and I’m finally reaching the point where I feel I have a decent grasp on what we do, which makes for a welcome change.   There is a lot to learn and for the first month I felt quite confused and came home every [...]

Four Day Weekend!

Today at 5:40pm we were told that we were going to have tomorrow off as well as Monday.   While some colleagues were complaining about how they wished they’d had more notice to make plans, I was thinking ‘Oh Yessssss!’.
Four whole days to sit at home if I want to, knit if I want to, not [...]

Yup, Definitely Sick.

Yeah, well all hope of it just being allergies is gone out the window.   I went to work this morning feeling slightly crap and by the end of the afternoon I was downright miserable.
I can’t stop coughing, my throat hurts, I’m sneezing my brains out and am full of snot.   Those aren’t even the [...]

Spring is Coming!

Although this winter hasn’t been nearly as bad for me mentally as other winters have been in the past, I’m still really excited to see signs of spring coming, like this blue sky out the window at work yesterday.

The temperatures have been going up slightly and the sun is starting to show itself more and [...]

Part of the Crowd

Today I crashed our payroll database at work… oops!!   I won’t get into how one manages to do that but it’s not that difficult, I mean I managed to do it easily enough!   I was a bit worried when my colleague told me I had done it, but then all the girls in my department [...]

Cold or Allergies?

After me making that post about the Tammy Cold (scroll down I can’t be arsed to link it)… this morning at 4am I woke up sneezing and blowing snot all over the place.   I had to leg it to the bathroom to get tissues, then got back in bed and sneezed my brain out for [...]

Two for the Dough

Well, day two is finished… it’s 9pm and I’m just about ready to crawl in bed and slip into a blissful coma. It’s tiring, getting back on a work schedule again but I’m happy. It’s not at all like when I was working at the call center, I come home and do my thing with [...]

Information Overload

I honestly can’t take in another thought today. It was my first day at my new job and it was so tiring. I spent the day with one of the girls I will be working with, watching her and having her explain things to me. We spent the whole day on what is only a [...]
