Tired

Anyone got some spare enthusiasm?

Lots! For doing housework. I will happily let you have it all....

Also I have a spare tire. Round my stomach.

I am 10kg down from my MF size. 15kg to go now.....

[eek]

TFBSZ - well I was up at 4am....

What's happened to TPD?

Wasn't me! I was busy at ClientCo

I may have some next week, when I'm off

Dinner has been chicken curry, with rice and naan

Masala chicken, to be precise, and the last portion thereof. I'll have to decide which jar to use next

I think what's exhausted me is meeting new ClientCo boss for first time and having to feign enthusiasm. Leave me alone to code in unenthusiastic peace and I'll be a lot more productive.

While driving today, I was thinking over all the stuff I'm planning to do with my time off

I'm pretty sure that the only things that will actually happen are stuff I'd do anyway like "take out the recycling" and "do the shopping"

Yes! This, a thousand times

I was OK when I was at a desk that was kind of out on a limb, but since the other week's office reorganisation the four of us are sat in a row, and I'm not on the end. Being permies, they do things like having long conversations about their houses and cars and stuff, and I have to try to concentrate with all this chitchat flying back and forth past me. FFS, people!

Earphones. Anti-nowhere league "I hate people" does it for me.

New gig is working from home which is good now that ms#5 is back at uni and ms#2 has gone into the office. Me and the cats had a very productive morning.

Lots of work to do which is good. Priorities changing hourly, not so good. Working with old colleague/friend who I both respect and love (platonically) which is great. No agent = big plus (for both me and them). Contract till mid Feb (my trip down under) but I think this could work out longer term. Maybe.
