Friday!

Another Friday rolls around and with it the promise of a weekend's jollity. I always like Fridays, particularly Friday evenings. The entire weekend is still there, hanging just out of reach, like a juicy ripe fruit and it is all anticipation unsullied by disappointing reality. (My, how lyrical I wax this morning).

Of course, I still haven't got my finger out and sorted a TV aerial for the Carpathia and I am away next weekend, so I'm not sure when that will happen (the TV aerial, not then weekend: I'm pretty clear on when the weekend will happen). Having toyed with the idea of Freesat, I am beginning the swing back in favour of a standard digital aerial. I already have a working digibox, why spend the money on a new one for the satellite dish?

Still, we'll see.

I see it's July 4th. Have a nice long weekend, those of you for whom this is a significant date. Here we have to wait another seven weeks or so for a bank holiday and then that's it until Christmas.

Friday revised

I have revised my view of this particular Friday. I have had three emails and two phone calls all day. One of those was a wrong number. I have barely said two dozen words to anyone in the office all day so far and none of those was to do with work.

There are very few people in today – I hope they are off doing something more interesting than me. I was not-so-surreptitiously trying and failing to do the super fiendish sudoku in The Times before lunch. I dropped the pencil at least three times because I was dozing off.

It is now one minute past three in the afternoon. I am leaving at four, when core hours finish. I may nip in to the West End on my way home, or I may just go back home, I shall while away this last hour deciding. I am guessing by the lack of posts on LJ that it is not only the US contingent who are not at work today.

Fifty-five minutes to go and then I’m off. I’ve had enough.

Shattered

I am absolutely worn out. It's not midnight yet (not quite) and I am going to bed; I can feel the tiredness in my bones.

It is rare for me to turn in this early any day of the week, much less a Friday night, but needs must when the devil drives.
