It’s been a fairly successful morning
Considering I’m feeling rough.
I’ve got a few ideas jotted down for future posts, finished reading and reviewed a book, added feedback on a book over at http://www.netgalley.com, checked my emails, mentally designed a set of cushions and then ordered the materials, and emailed for a review copy of a book I want to read.
I’ve even managed to eat a sensible breakfast. Next up, dress, dinner, walk the dogs. Might not seem like much but for me it’s progress.
It’s been an interesting day; Or, how I got rid of my recent writer’s block
I’ve been working a lot lately (yay money! Boo exhaustion!) and today is my first proper day off for two weeks. I am also sick again (physically rather than mentally this time round), so sick I had to leave work halfway in to my shift yesterday because of nausea. Bit of a problem that, when you work in a food factory.

This wind? I do not like.
How’s everyone?
I’m fine, got blown off the road twice on the way to work this morning and almost in to on coming traffic on the way home this afternoon, but other than that I’m fiiiiine.
My sister is taking me to work tomorrow.
I wonder how she’s fixed for Monday and Tuesday…
Why I’ll not go back to paid weight loss groups
Anyone seen my picture? Yeah I’m overweight, and I have been for over twenty years. It’s a problem, I know it’s a problem; I don’t need reminding that being overweight is unhealthy, or considered to be not aestheticly pleasant in a culture obsessed by skin and bones.
I’ve tried going to Weight Watchers and Slimming World several times. I’ve spent stupid amounts of money on them, in membership, paraphernalia, branded food etc.Continue reading “Why I’ll not go back to paid weight loss groups”
If I ruled the country…
It was a particularly fruitful ride in the cold/almost rain this morning (see previous post). I had another thought. Scary, two in one twelve minute motorcycle ride through Lincolnshire. The second thought was on the nature of government, namely if I ran the country what would I do?
The Confusion Monkey strikes again!
I was supposed to be working today. The permanent Sensory QA is on holiday, I’m covering a few days. Except, someone didn’t know this, or more correctly the precise details, and asked one of the minions to cover.
On the cold, and slightly damp ride home I decided that the Technical department had a Confusion Monkey hiding among the files. It’s a bit like the Lab Elf at my last job. I shall tell you about the Confusion Monkey; gather round children.

I am not a happy bunny right now
Because of this news story:
http://bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-26056856
I’m well aware that by sharing this on my personal blog, and actually daring to have an opinion I could face disciplinary action. However, this is my blog so I’ll say what I damn well please. What I have written is my truth.
If any of the management are reading this, stop now and go think about what you’ve done/are about to cause. If you really think the misery you’re causing is acceptable then I pity you.
My weekend in London, part I
Good evening, how’s your weekend going? Good? Good.
Other than the incredible amount of pain in my left hip and lower back, mine is going great. I’m in London; I got here yesterday afternoon in the rain, navigated the Underground successfully, all on my own and made it to our hostel without getting lost.
