After almost two weeks of relaxing, booze filled holidays, I went back to work yesterday, and into an unbelievable mountain of things to do. Not just little unimportant things, but some major projects that we’re doing need to have a whole lot of pieces of the puzzle completed by Friday.

Now normally when you come back from a holiday you have very little motivation or desire to be there, but when you come back from a holiday, have this mountain of things to do, you’re on you own supporting the company for two weeks, and you just know that you’re going to have to work late every night to get things done, the emotions you go through are a touch extreme due to the stress. It takes you almost to cracking point.

Today I’ve managed to organise myself a little better though, so I’m not catching up with everything, and I have clear goals set for each day. Even so, the next time someone calls me with a stupid fucking question about how their mouse-mat is the wrong shade of blue, or asks me what their username is even though they usethefuckingthingeveryday, I may go a little crazy.

Deep breaths…relax….calm….I’m a leaf on the wind. (There’s a little tip of the hat to Serenity for you folks)

If I get the time at some point today I’ll post about my two weeks holiday in Edinburgh, with my friends over from Canada, lots of Edinburgh Festival stuff, and anything else I can remember from the drunken haze that was my life over last two weeks.
