The Importance of Being Idle

Blue Monday

For some reason all the media have been able to talk about today is how today is officially (although they did not make it clear who has the power to declare this) the saddest day of the year. Apparently a combination of bills, being as far from payday as you're gonna get, bad weather and general post Christmas malaise all combine to make this so. Yet I've had a happy day.
Okay, bad news first. Remember how I wished I wouldn't get the London run today? I did. And not only today either, but the whole week and probably the whole of next week too! And maybe more after that! Apparently there have been some objections to some of our staff and I am deemed the only one suitable (or at least the only one that wasn't complained about, probably because they haven't seen me in a month) and so I'm stuck with it until we can recruit and train somebody else suitable. Which in a lot of ways is actually pretty okay with me; if this becomes my regular timing then my body will get used to it and I'll be okay. Last night however I had comedy insomnia and slept for all of about three hours. So I am now exhausted. Overall though, my first day back at work was a success. I don't think I messed anything up and I got back into the routine almost like I'd never been away.
Let's hope tomorrow is just as good!
