my departure has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works for the other 2 people that work in my department. they are just going through their diaries working out what days they want to take holidays and if there will be someone here that can cover. from what i can gather it seems my boss has booked a weekend away on what seems like every single bank holiday weekend in the year, which is no good for the other person who also likes taking holidays.

i must be even weirder than i thought. i know only taking a week holiday a year is lame and less than most people but in my department the other 2 people take at least 2 what i would term big holidays a year (australia, US, carribean) and then around 4 or 5 shorter breaks in france or italy or spain. when i told my boss i was resigning he mentioned to me that he was looking around as well, although he did mention he quite liked working here. i think he might struggle to get something elsewhere if he requested this much time off and a new employer wouldn't be happy. am not sure a contractor could get away with taking this much time off work.

anyways, work is ok. am struggling to do anything which is bad news because i have to work this weekend on some stuff. i just can't be bothered with any of this stuff now.

had football last night and it was good. got into a bit more than last week but its still not quite as much fun as usual. probably because its so cold in the evenings when we play. mid may and it was freezing cold last night, especially afterwards when i was on the train home. where are the nice warm evenings with a cool breeze. not here.

today i have mostly been listening to cypress hill - rock superstar. decided to randomly select some songs on my mp3 player instead of listening to the same playlists i have on there. it ended up playing songs in alphabetical order of artist name. it meant i listened to cyndi lauper, cypress hill and daft punk.
