The Importance of Being Idle

Life in Motion; Update

Not been here for a while eh? I can tell, there's dust everywhere and the whole place is just overgrown with whatever it is that grows over poorly tended blogs; probably some sort of digital bramble that's ugly, sharp and hard to prune. Ah well, I'm here now so I guess I better try and tidy up a bit.
How's things? Well work is just draining me; it's why I never seem to have the energy to come and write here anymore - at the end of the day I just feel thoroughly and utterly drained. I keep thinking that my body will adjust, should've adjusted by now, but this evening when we got back I sat down and the next thing I know it's an hour later and I'm sitting there, asleep, with my glasses held carefully in my hand... and that happens more often than I'd like.
The situation with and at work hasn't really improved, in fact I've been down right disruptive for the past few weeks, trying to sort things like my contract out so they aren't completely one-sided, and trying to get the call centre managers from treating us all like shit by suggesting alternative methods for motivating us, none of which really helped so I've adopted the most sarcastically corporate persona possible at work, which bizarrely DOES seem to have done the trick; only my closest colleagues understand that I haven't "corrected my attitude", I'm just hiding it in plain sight!
On top of that we've finally opened the market stall, the not so secret project that Sharon had been working on for so many months, and it's been a massive success. It's nice to see her plans working out, but having to work (not matter how little I do!) for that sixth day a week is really killing me; my concentration on my real job this week was just fucked to hell by the end of the week, and I was so tired I damn near fell asleep at the keyboard, and by Saturday night I am effectively useless. Still, these things have to be done; I just don't know how much longer I can physically keep on doing them...
Luckily this week I have a week off though, so I intend to relax, paint toy soldiers and play video games! Yes, video games! I vaguely remember those; I had a particular interest in a game called World of Warcraft I've not been able to get NEAR to for a long while now. Tomorrow morning though I'm taking the first portal to Azeroth, and I don't intend to come back for a long time!
