A morning in the life

Anyway… I could answer some of the questions that people have asked me (the rims were Ok, I was surprised by that).

Or I could put down facts about myself (Hey! I went to Uni in London as well! And I used to love the Saturday nights down at ULU :-) )

Or I could give you some info about the UK (Every town or village has a war memorial for those who died in the two world wars from that area, the one I went to is a little differernt, it is in place of a gravestone for those whose bodies have not yet been found)

Instead...

I have realised that I have come across as a bit of a whinging pom. In reality I am an optimist, they say that optimists whine more than non optimists because they expect the world to be perfect and are disappointed when it is not. Sometimes I am disappointed, however in most cases I am amused, so many things go well for me every day that I tend not to note them, and instead focus on the negative.

For example yesterday I awoke at 05:15, ambled around the flat, brushed my teeth and myself, dressed in a very fetching white T and green jumper, took the OT quizzes, and left at 07:00, the car started, stalled once at some traffic lights, but started immediately again and there were no more problems, the drive in was not stressful and the traffic flowed well, Listened to a mix CD as Sir Terry is on holiday, I know one is not supposed to, however I do enjoy singing along in the car, I arrived in the office for about 08:10, logged in on the lappie, and then went to the canteen for a cup of porridge which was lovely, back to my desk, a quick chatette with the people around me, and down to work, no hassling e-mails, just a testing plan, and a project plan for my new role to do, a meeting that went quickly and wasn’t too boring.

I did have to eat two salads as the top had come off of one. (I have been buying Monday to Thursdays lunches on Monday lunchtime and leaving them in the car, where it is cold, and then bringing them into the office on the appropriate day) anyway, the chicken curry and lentil salad was open, and the smoked salmon nicoise was open, no idea how that happened. Anyway I threw away the curry and ate the salmon and the tuna with edamame that was todays salad. This is not a bad thing as I have been getting a little peckish in the afternoons, and this will prevent that.

So all in all a good day so far? True, however if I were to write down what happened in a diary or blog I would say “I got 4/10 on a quiz on Roman History” As outside of work this is my specialist subject (if I have one) tbh a lot of the questions were about the eastern empire, and I tend to cut off at Constantine where the middle ages officially start. However I was hoping for a good result on that quiz, although I did win the score was lower than I liked.
