Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I’ll begin
Got to bed at at midnight after working til 7.30 last night. Get called out at 01:15,
wasn’t meant to be first on call, just covering for a colleague, he must have known!
fix the problem and get back to bed at 03:00, try to sleep, alarm goes off at 07:00
I’m sure I reset it for 08:00, who set it back?.
Faff around for a bit and finally set off for work.
More roadworks?? Surely they know I don’t need this today!
Have to do loads of admin work, timesheets, rotas, callout logs etc.
as if I haven’t enough to do!
My arthritis is playing up
again
and I have a really bad neck, probably from laying odd last night
you’re kidding? after only 4 hours lying down, my neck is s__t?!!.
I go for smoke, gorgeous sunshine, feels like summer
I smile, but realise I have to get back to work.
Back at my desk I realise the air conditioning isn’t working again
always when it’s hot outside, always.
It’s objective setting time of the year so we have to fill out skill spreadsheets and certification spreadsheets,
another half hour wasted!
and it suddenly dawns on me that all my certs have run out.
s__t, everyone’s more qualified that I am, better than I am!
Need to get them up to date
Can’t seem to study the way I used to, maybe everyone IS better than I am
Get all my study notes, test exams together, was planning to anyway, this has just given me the kick I need
Just taken another couple of painkillers, so need to sit back and wait for the pain to subside.
Lunchtime.
Antivirus starts. Machine stops
everyone else seems to be working ok, maybe their machines are better than mine
I eat my sandwich, very nice. That’s one good thing today!
Decide to go for another smoke.
Nicotine, caffiene, NSAIDs and Opiates. Life is wonderful, albeit a little fuzzy.
I look at my phone to see what time it is. 13:37
13:37? 13:37! Even my s__tty little phone is telling me it’s 1337!!!! WTF!!!11!!1!!!1!!
My phone is better than I am?????
I may be paranoid, but they may still be better than me!
Tune in for next week’s episode
