Set Up Like A Deck Of Cards

Apr 14

This is what insanity must feel like

Tail-end of a week-long head cold (aka man flu)
Sleep deprivation for the last week due to aforementioned crippling affliction
End of a week of 30% overtime due to staff shortages
Awake at 6am this morning for the F1 qualifying
Four hours at work on a Saturday, due to staff shortages
Doped up on painkillers and cold medicine
All I’ve had to eat today is a bowl of mushroom soup and a slice of toast
Been drinking home measures of Jack & Coke for the last two hours
My teeth are itchy
My voice sounds amazing
My laugh sounds incredible
My head feels twice as dense as it normally does
I think I might actually have two heads, only I can’t see the other one in the mirror
Who are you?
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why?

Going to work on a Saturday

Did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio only made four films between The Beach and The Departed? Doesn’t it seem like there should be a bigger gap than six years/four movies between those films?

I swear films are the worst way of trying to judge time.

In other news, Point Break is over twenty years old.

Cider-Bourbon Cocktail - Martha Stewart Recipes -

Apparently, in America, apple cider is not an alcoholic drink. I didn’t know that. I made this using Strongbow.

Iss trong.

One of the few things I’m certain about in life is that my favourite film is All The President’s Men. Knowing something like that for sure gives me comfort.

After watching The Shawshank Redemption again tonight, for maybe the twentieth time, the only thing I don’t love about the film is that it makes me question one of the few certainties in my life.

I kind of wish Red had never gotten Andy that rock hammer.

Today in Note Form

Overslept
The sun was blazing, it was warm, but there was frost on the ground and my car had frost on the glass that I had to scrape off
Got a puncture on the drive to work
Had to pull over on a hill in the middle of nowhere
Couldn’t get the new tyre on because the disc kept slipping every time I tried to put the new tyre on, so I couldn’t align the bolts
Got dirty and sweaty and really pissed off
Called my boss at work to say I’d be late, who then drove out to meet me and helped with the tyre by sitting in the car with his foot on the brake so I could align the disc and get the tyre on
Went home, had a shower, put on new clothes, ate a bowl of cereal and then drove back into work for 10.30am
Worked for a bit
Took the car to the garage to get a new tyre, followed by my boss
Got a lift back to work with my boss, stopping and eating an ice cream on the seafront on the way
Went back to work
Worked for a bit
Was told to leave work early by my boss because I have to use the massive amount of holidays I carried from last year before the end of March
Left work at 4pm, picked up my car and went home
Made a dinner of calamari and feta cheese (delicious) at 5pm
Fell asleep in the sun from 6pm-7pm
Woke up and went inside
Fell asleep from 7pm-9pm
Woke up
Did some work on my laptop
My thighs are sore
My hands are still dirty despite me washing them about a hundred times
Watching The Shawshank Redemption on TV

Conclusions

It was a strange day
My new boss is kind of cool
My thighs are going to be sore as hell tomorrow
