merry but slighly boring crimbo

have had a sniffly cold since last weekend and i am just getting over it now. its nice being off work for christmas and new year, but it can get really really boring. eating and watching tv can get boring after a couple of hours, and yet here i am on day two and i am still eating and watching tv. :-)

i am so thankful i am employed because if i led this type of lifestyle for even a few weeks i would just turn into a slob. yes it sucks getting up early in the morning and catching the train and sitting at my desk at work doing easy work but at least it gets me up and active. i am almost looking forwards to going to work tomorrow, even though i have to wake up at 5am because i am on earlies this week. i suppose its worse because everything is shut for the holidays as well. i can't even go to the gym which is usually a good fallback when you get really bored.

anyways, christmas has been ok. all the sales started to today in the shops and i thought about heading out for about 2 seconds before deciding against it. first off, i don't need anything and secondly, there will be a million people out there crammed into the shops hunting for bargains and elbowing each other out the way trying to find that shirt or jacket in the right size. i can't be bothered with any of that stuff.

this is pretty much it for me at work this week. my official last day is monday 31st december and then we are into the great unknown. its going to be wicked. not seen that many jobs advertised but thats because no one is really advertising new positions in the last week of december. come january once recruiters and HR people are back at work, i am expecting it to get busy. saying that i have seen one or two interesting looking roles already. will apply for them in the first week of january.

today i have mostly been listening to cold war kids - we used to vacation.
