In like a lion and out like a lamb; OMG am I so glad to see the back of vile January, every year we set the expectations so high and wish for a better time to come but he first 60 seconds set the tone and did not bode well for a barrel of laughs ahead. An over enthusiastic Hogmanny Hug and, at the point of contact, I actually felt something break inside, a shattered rib no less, Yes Babyboy has been working out of late, weights a-plenty = muscles of steel and has no idea of his own strength.
Day two saw the demise of my laptop, my trusted friend of many years but, I am a loyal lady and determined to make do and mend it , 150 notes later it endured 3 visits to the eponymous repair shop before it was returned to its former glory only to realise it was the fecking broadband speed on a go-slow in the cold after all and nothing to do with the bloody hard drive. Plussing as which, The Treadmill has had a roller coaster time of late, the grey men in suits across the Pond dictated its lifeblood's termination necessitating MD's scheming, plotting and planning of 1-7 future forward scenarios. Crisis talks and Global demonstrations rallied response and an eleventh hour stay of execution saved the day; We are going Dutch.......for better or for worse, only time will tell. Staff unrest, audits, swine flu' frenzy not to mention Travelling Tarmac extortion racket (see previous blog) and one tragic staff suicide...... all in all a stressful start to the financial year.
The Haiti disaster saddened me hugely, those poor desperate people, who only last autumn, lost everything as the hurricane swept through, now have less than nothing. I only pray the money collected goes to the correct resources and will in some way ameliorate their tragedy and allow some good to emerge from such a desperate situation
The snow, Christmas credit card bills, Alex Reid winning CBB7, one thing after another..........
