Well, I've just spent half an hour watching Jon Pertwee chase the Sea Devils around. Towards the end I had two cats on the sofa with me and gave them a jolly good groom with the Furminator. Things are looking up a little.

Originally posted by covbob View PostBlegh, another crap day draws to a close. Hit the whisky at 8:30 to cope with the inanity.
Seems that at the moment I'm permanently knackered and have no energy or drive. Living day to day nothing seems to change and all that happens is my mood gets worse.
It's frustrating that I don't really enjoy my permie job at the place I wanted to work for years, I'm not looking forward to starting new permie job elsewhere and contract stuff is dripping very slowly.
I really don't know what I want to do. I just don't think I want to be doing network design for the rest of my life. Sadly it's the only really marketable skill I have!

Sounds like you're a bit down in the dumps. Catch 22 - low mood causes tiredness; tiredness means you're unlikely to be feeling chipper.
Give covbaby a cuddle and remember what's important in life. And if you don't pick up soon, get yourself to the quack for a checkover.Comment

It's dry in Edinburgh too.
Which is nice.

Not sure she was keen on Dr Who, mind.

Morning denizens
Bit chilly out, judging by the frost on the old stables, but bright and sunny too
