What’s that smell
Playing good day/bad day, because my creative isn’t stretching any more than my overly tight hamstrings.
Good
- A quiet day in the office. Heads down, bums up.
- Train trips went quickly. Return trip was aided by an episode of Mad Men and an American Theatre Wing podcast.
- Helped out a young guy who left his phone on the train when he got off a few stops before me.
- Coming home to find Nico has washed and ironed my work shirts from the last two days.
Bad
- Finding my kitchen smelling like effluence instead of affluence. Attributed to a VERY stinky bin and piles of dishes to be washed.
- My new bed time of 9:30 not allowing for the work I had to do. Note the time of this post.
- My neighbour harassing me again over minor issues (apparently I’m to be blamed for placing my rubbish in the wrong bin – clearly I rarely take my rubbish out at all).
I spent the weekend preparing the house for what I knew would be less time at home to do chores. I even washed the exterior windows and cleaned the window frames and walls outside. What I didn’t expect was how much time this job was going to eat up. Being out of the house for 14 hours of the day is exhausting, not to mention my 5:30 wake up each day. Other than that, I love the job so far and the people are great. I just hope I find a way to restore the work:home balance somewhat. At the moment, it’s 90%:5%, and it’s a struggle.

Tyson, you HAVE to get a big picture of Susan Boyle (SoBo, i only just worked out that’s what everyone means when they say that) and place it on the front of the trash bins, that or just throw your rubbish over the balcony wall and blame the seagull’s. Mock me for my lack of numerical skill’s, however i’m concerned about the missing 5% from your day, or is this a 5% we dont want to discuss. TMI .. ISN!!.
