I’ve been watching what I think is an ‘old’ series called In Plain Sight. Basically, it’s about people who have witnessed a crime or criminals who have turned on their counterparts, who are placed into witness protection. The series deals with how they cope, and of course there is character progression for the main players of the series. I’ve been really enjoying it. Whilst I would never want to witness anything bad that could jeopardise my life, or that of any of my family, I have to admit; the idea of moving away and starting a whole new life and becoming someone else in another part of the country (providing my son came with) is very appealing. My family aren’t that bad, however there are times when I could cheerfully just walk away. It’s one reason that I play the lottery now and again; the chance to move away, leave some of my ‘baggage’ behind me, and start afresh. A girl can dream…
Good news on the work front; we had a meeting early in the week and my manager asked outright (because he knew I wouldn’t have the courage) when our grade was going to be restructured. Apparently there are no plans to do so, so I can stop worrying about the possibility of having to apply for own job. WooHoo! Ah the joys of having a specialist role :) You’d think I’d sleep better for knowing, but alas that isn’t the case so far, and I’ve had some pretty awful nights of late.
I think I’m incubating yet another cold and I thank my colleague from the heart of my… You’ve heard of Plague Mary? Well I’m working with him! Except that Mary was apparently not ill, she was a carrier. My colleague is a carrier but is also always ill. And I have to breathe the same oxygen as him in our office. I’ve had one cold after another since he moved in to our office. Nice!
This year, as mentioned before, I’ve been cutting back on alcohol. Recently I bought half a bottle of whisky, and although it was a nice treat I don’t think I’ll buy anymore once this has gone; it’s so expensive! I’m still enjoying the occasional bottle of wine (over quite a few days I might add) though have definitely cut down. I’ve discovered becks Blue which is pretty nice. All the taste of Becks, thirst quenching, and at 0.05% alcohol, is almost alcohol free especially if you enjoy just one bottle.
Here in the UK the forecast is for a dry and warmer weekend which will be nice. It was merely 4 degrees this morning and I haven’t yet felt warm enough to take off my cardigan. Hope you all enjoy some sunshine and warmth this weekend. Have a great one!

Glad to hear about the drinking bit. It's so easy to have a quick drink when you are on your own, but all too easy to drink more than is good for you. I have so many bottles of booze in my home, but they've been here for years. Okay there are a few that I bought for Christmas, but they are still over half full. I leave the glasses out in the kitchen and then I ask myself if I really want a drink but because it means getting up and going out into the kitchen for the glass, I've yet to feel that I want a drink that much. I do the same with chocolate.
Sounds good as far as the weather goes - won't it be great if those forecasters are actually right for a change.
I've often joked that our place is 'sick' because someone is always going down with a cold or similar. It doesn't help that we have people from literally all over the globe here, and they change every few years, so there are always plenty of 'fresh' germs. Still looking for another job. Mine pays the bills, but I no longer enjoy it.
Yes, nice to feel secure at work. Not so nice working with an infectious clown though.
I too could use some warm weather, my plants agree.
I only drink one, sometimes two "Sapporo Premium" per day, no strong stuff at all, being tall it really hurts to fall down.
lol John. I'm only 'average' height so not so far to fall though I've never actually been drunk.
