A Bad Day At The Office
December 28, 2007
Do you ever have one of those days where everything you do turns to shit? Well I had one yesterday and I was glad to hit the hay at the end of it and say good riddance to the fucker. It started badly when I ended up staying in bed for an extra half hour instead of getting up so I could start and finish work a bit earlier and for some reason the extra half hour seemed to drain my soul! I was ready to get up and go when the alarm went off at 0730 but I laid there for another 30-45 minutes with Mrs P and when I decided to get up I felt absolutely knackered.
The drive to work was boring too. I’ve got a problem with the car at the minute where the indicators are staying solid and not flashing and certain other bits linked to the relay are playing up so the other day I decided to fuck about with the fuses to see if that was the cause of the problem. Low and behold there must be a problem because I swapped some of them around and now the bastard radio is in “Safe” mode and needs unlocking at a main dealer so all journeys in the car now are music free which is wank! It’s not as bad when I have Mrs P or any of the rugrats in the car for company but sat there by myself on a morning when the roads are dead because of the Christmas holidays isn’t much fun. Time to dust down my iPod I think!
Work was utter shite too due to a severe lack of stuff to do. There’s only a skeleton staff working in each department and they’re doing fuck all so we’ve got nada to do. I’ve done any filing I needed to do, completed everything outstanding but without a steady stream of work it’s so boring. It’s even worse than working a quiet bar because at least there you can get pissed to pass the time! Then in the afternoon I had a catch up meeting with my boss and found out that I have a disciplinary meeting with regards to using the internet during working hours again! Apparently some of our team members have complained about me using the net and say I’ve not been doing my fair share of work from our inbox. The latter is total bollocks and just because I’m not up and down going through the inbox they assume I’m not working. I’ve had loads of little bits to tidy up on the system that I’ve had in my own inbox and “to do” section of my email and have cleared all of those out. I was also told that my boss had asked another boss, who sits behind me in view of my screen, to report back if I went on the internet at any point and she’s reported back that I do. This is the biggest joke because a guy on this woman’s team is never off the fucker and I’ve asked him if anyone has had a word and he’s never even had it mentioned to him! Even better, apparently I only flick my screen over when my boss is near and don’t bother when other team members come past. Yeah, I’m that fucking stupid that I’m going to sit on the net whilst my supervisor or “team mate” is sat with me. I shouldn’t go on the stupid net but it’s easy to have it on in the background and flick over for a split second to take away from the daily grind and I know other team members do it regularly too but nothing gets said. I’ve lost all trust and respect for my so called team mates, they’re nice as pie to your face then go stab you in the back instead of saying something to you, well that’s the norm I guess for a team of 30-50 year old women, I just don’t fit in anymore and it’s time to move on I guess.
I was glad to finish work and get home but I’d forgotten that Mrs P was off to her friends house for a few beers and I’d offered to look after Step Pud so she could let her hair down. Not to worry as he’s usually ok for me but the little sod is full of cold at the minute and chose last night to winge and whimper his little head off like a little puppy! To kill the time I went for a few bits from the supermarket, came home and put the shopping away, fed him and changed his arse, made myself something to eat and was going to play with him but he wanted picking up, then putting down, then picking up and putting down! I knew he was knackered so I stuck him in his car seat and went for a drive which ended up being over an hour long! LOL! I ended up getting a call from Cadmunkey whilst driving and I lost all track of time and when I decided to go home and lay Step Pud on the bed the little shit woke up the instant I picked him up and from that point on he just winged and cried and coughed and I couldn’t deal with it so his mum came to the rescue! To cap it all off when I got back to the flat the living room light blew and whilst I was in the Asda I actually said outloud, “I should get some bulbs incase one goes!” Sod’s law or what!
Poker went shockingly bad too and I’m not surprised because I wasn’t really in the mood to play but I did anyway as it usually helps me to relax. I lost around 300 chips early on when I called a UTG raise in the BB with AQo, spiked a Queen on the flop but played it passively and when I came to be aggro on the turn he wasn’t going away because his fucking KhTh had now picked up a flush draw which he hit on the river when I hit my two pair! KTs from UTG, WP dickhead! I never really got back into contention and with the blinds 25/50 and about to raise to 50/100 I looked down and saw JJ in the BB. The CO raises to 150, Button calls and I jam my remaining 750 or so into the middle. Only the CO calls and shows 55. Flop contains a 5 and I miss my two outs and finish in my lowest position yet of the challenge in 109th for 1 measily point. Bad end to a bad day! I’ve not checked anyone elses results but I don’t think that slip up should harm me too much as long as I can get another 5-8 points from my remaining two games, which incidently I should be playing tonight or tomorrow at some point.
As always, thanks for checking in, it’s much appreciated and best of luck at and away from the tables!
