Who's On-Line Now?

Is it 2011 yet?

I'm bored with 2010 already. I am on the third of 4 days off and I have done absolutely nothing with my time. And before certain readers start, YES, I know that is no one's fault but my own! As always my first day off, after a night shift, was spent in recovery, getting used to being awake during the day again. I could have just stayed in night shift mode and gone out for my first New Year's Eve drinks in years, but I didn't feel like going out on my own on this of all nights and I didn't know of anyone having a party so I stayed in, went to bed on the stroke of midnight and tried to sleep in between shrill shrieks outside and the banging of the door to the pub every 20 minutes. I think the noise stopped around 04:00 so I may as well have gone out for the amount of sleep I got.
I did nothing of note on New Year's Day, except watch Dr Who, on my own. I didn't speak to a soul until my flatmate Jessica briefly interrupted my televisual entertainment.
Today I had intended to go and watch the Kings Cross Steelers play a match at home, but I woke with a sore throat, lots of phlegm on my lungs and a strange headache which was more like a scalp-ache than anything else (and is still there). I didn't think that standing out in the cold for a couple of hours would be a good idea. So, once again, I have done nothing (unless you count going to Waitrose, whoopee!).
Tomorrow I just know that I will do exactly the same, i.e. nothing! I hope though that I can think of something interesting to do, before I have to go back to work on Monday.

I am dreading going back to work on Monday as, even though I haven't liked the job for ages, I have now turned a corner and have lost all respect for everyone there. This means that I am less likely to act professionally as I do not care what anyone thinks of me any more. I have got to this point in jobs before and it always results in me having to leave. Let's just hope that I find a new job, and QUICKLY!! I can't afford to be unemployed.

I am so pissed with the management at my work that I will be retiring one year early!

It has become impossible to have a civilized conversation with anyone on the management team.

There is the constant threat of being fired used against nearly all of those working in the field.

Is it June 2010 yet. The month I turn over my keys, cell phone, computer and make Amelia Island my home!

Good luck with the retirement Jon, I hope, for your sake, that it comes around quickly.
